Proxxon 8 mm Deep Socket 3/8" Drive PR23532

Deep 8 mm socket from Proxxon with a 3/8" drive, model PR23532, designed to access recessed hex nuts and bolts where a standard socket cannot reach. Constructed for use with 3/8" ratchets and breaker bars, this deep socket provides extended reach while maintaining secure engagement on hex fasteners. The tool is intended for applications in automotive repair, mechanical assembly and routine maintenance where a longer socket is required to clear studs, threaded rods or other obstructions.

Advantages

The deep design allows access to fasteners set back from the work surface while the 3/8" drive ensures compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and torque tools. Precision-machined internal profiles promote a stable fit on 8 mm hex heads to reduce rounding and slippage. The socket’s length and durable construction make it suitable for repeated use in workshop and field environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair tasks involving recessed nuts and bolts
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly where extra reach is needed
• Maintenance work on machinery with protruding studs or obstructed fasteners
• General workshop use with 3/8" drive toolsets

Key specifications

• Socket size: 8 mm
• Drive size: 3/8"
• Type: deep socket for hex fasteners
• Material: chrome-plated tool steel (corrosion-resistant finish)
• Profile: 6-point internal hex engagement

How to use

Select the 8 mm deep socket and attach it securely to a compatible 3/8" ratchet or breaker bar. Place the socket over the hex fastener, ensuring full seating on the head before applying torque. For tight fasteners, apply steady, controlled force and avoid sudden impacts that may damage the fastener or socket. Use appropriate extension bars or universal joints with the socket when additional reach or angle access is required.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and the fastener for damage before use. Use a torque-limiting device when working on components requiring specific torque values. Clean and lightly lubricate the socket after use to prevent corrosion and store in a tool organizer to protect the driving profile.
