## Long description

Proxxon 8 mm hex (Allen) socket with a 3/8" drive and 50 mm length. Designed for use with ratchets and torque tools that accept a 3/8" square drive, this socket fits 8 mm hex fasteners and provides secure engagement for assembly, maintenance, and repair tasks in workshops and automotive applications.
Advantages
The hex socket is manufactured to provide accurate fit on 8 mm internal hex fasteners and reduce rounding of bolt heads. Its 50 mm length gives extended reach in recessed or hard-to-access locations while the 3/8" drive ensures compatibility with a wide range of hand ratchets and torque handles. The design supports secure torque transfer and stable seating on the fastener for consistent results during repetitive operations.
Suitable for
 Assembly and disassembly of furniture and machinery with 8 mm hex fasteners
 Automotive maintenance tasks requiring internal hex fittings
 Workshop repair and maintenance where extended reach is needed

Key specifications

How to use
Select the 8 mm hex socket and attach it securely to a 3/8" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Align the socket with the internal hex fastener and push on until it seats fully to prevent slippage. Apply torque smoothly and avoid sudden impacts; when using a torque wrench, follow the torque value specified for the fastener. After use, wipe clean and store in a socket rail or organizer to protect the profile.
Usage recommendations
Use the socket only with compatible 3/8" drive tools and select appropriate torque values for the fasteners. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before applying high torque. For concentrated or repeated high-torque operations, consider using sockets and tools rated for the required torque to avoid damage.
