Socket 14 mm 3/8" Proxxon deep drive (model PR23543)

Deep 14 mm socket with 3/8" drive from Proxxon, model PR23543. This deep drive socket is engineered to reach recessed nuts and bolts that standard shallow sockets cannot access. Compatible with standard 3/8-inch ratchets and handles, it provides the extra length needed for automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and general workshop tasks where fasteners are set back from the work surface.

Advantages

The deep 14 mm socket offers extended reach while maintaining standard 3/8" drive compatibility, allowing use with common ratchets and extensions. Its deep design reduces the need to disassemble surrounding components to access recessed fasteners. Precision-machined socket faces ensure a secure fit on hex fasteners, minimizing slippage and rounding of bolt heads during torque application.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed nuts and bolts in automotive repair
• Maintenance and repair of machinery with obstructed fasteners
• General workshop use where extra socket depth is required
• Use with 3/8" ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars

Key specifications

• Socket size: 14 mm
• Drive type: 3/8" (standard drive compatibility)
• Design: deep drive socket for recessed fasteners
• Material and finish: precision-machined chrome or chrome-plated steel (manufacturer standard for hand tools)
• Compatibility: fits common 3/8" ratchets, extensions and handle tools

How to use

Select the 14 mm deep socket and attach it to a compatible 3/8" ratchet or extension. Position the socket over the recessed nut or bolt, ensuring full engagement of the socket on the fastener head before applying torque. Use steady, controlled force and, when required, an appropriate torque setting on a torque wrench to avoid over-tightening. Remove the socket after loosening or tightening the fastener, and inspect the socket for wear before storage.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, match the 14 mm socket to the correct fastener size and use suitable drive tools rated for the required torque. Avoid using the socket with impact drivers unless it is explicitly specified for impact use; for stubborn or corroded fasteners, apply penetrating lubricant and consider using extensions or universal joints to achieve the correct angle.
