Socket BAHCO deep length, 1/4" square drive, metric, 50.6 mm

Deep length socket from BAHCO with a 1/4" square drive, metric sizing and a length of 50.6 mm. Engineered for reaching recessed fasteners, this steel socket delivers precise torque transfer for maintenance, automotive and assembly operations. Its compact mass of approximately 26 g makes it suitable for portable tool kits and workshop tool sets where space and weight matter.

Advantages

The socket is made of high performance alloy steel with a high polished finish and knurled surface to improve handling. Its thin-walled design enables access in confined spaces while meeting relevant dimensional standards for sockets. The construction provides consistent fit on fasteners and reliable torque transmission for repeatable results in professional and hobby applications.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed nuts and bolts in automotive repair
• Maintenance and service tasks on machinery and equipment
• Assembly work in workshops and production lines
• Applications requiring compact, lightweight tools for field service

How to use

Select the correct metric socket size for the fastener and attach it securely to a compatible 1/4" square drive ratchet or extension. Slide the deep socket over the recessed nut or bolt until fully seated, ensuring the knurled area provides firm grip during handling. Apply torque evenly through the drive tool, avoiding sudden impacts or side loads that could damage the thin-walled socket or the fastener head. After use, clean off debris and store the socket in a protective rail or case to maintain the polished surface and dimensional accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for 1/4" drive and within the torque limits appropriate for thin-walled sockets. For stubborn or corroded fasteners, consider applying penetrating lubricant and using controlled torque increments. Inspect the socket regularly for wear, particularly in high-frequency professional use, and replace if rounding or deformation appears to maintain safety and performance.
