Socket bit Proxxon 10 mm 3/8" drive 50 mm length (PR23581)

Proxxon 10 mm socket bit with a 3/8" square drive and a 50 mm overall length designed for use with compatible ratchets and pneumatic tools. The socket bit provides a precise 10 mm seating for hexagonal fasteners and a compact 50 mm profile that helps access medium-depth recesses while maintaining reliable torque transfer. The tool is intended for mechanical assembly, automotive maintenance and general repair where accuracy and a standardized 3/8" connection are required.

Advantages

The socket bit is built to deliver exact fit and stable contact with 10 mm fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage during tightening or loosening. Its 3/8" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of hand ratchets, breaker bars and pneumatic drivers. The 50 mm length balances reach and control, allowing access to slightly recessed bolts while keeping leverage and feel similar to standard sockets. The design emphasizes functional durability and consistent torque transmission.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance tasks involving 10 mm bolts and nuts
• Mechanical assembly and production line fastener installation
• General repair and maintenance in workshops and home garages
• Use with hand ratchets, torque wrenches and compatible pneumatic tools

Key specifications

• Socket size: 10 mm for hexagonal fasteners
• Drive type: 3/8" square drive
• Overall length: 50 mm
• Material and finish: metal construction suitable for standard workshop use
• Intended connection: fits tools accepting 3/8" square drives

How to use

Select the Proxxon 10 mm socket bit when working with 10 mm hex fasteners and attach it securely to a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or pneumatic driver. Position the socket fully onto the fastener to ensure full contact, then apply torque smoothly to tighten or loosen. For controlled tightening, use a torque wrench with the appropriate settings. After use, inspect the seating surfaces for wear and store the bit in a socket rail or toolbox to protect the driving surfaces.

Usage recommendations

To prolong service life and maintain tool performance, avoid using the socket bit with drives that exceed recommended torque limits for 10 mm fasteners, and keep the bit clean and lightly lubricated if exposed to corrosive environments. Replace the bit if significant wear or rounding of the contact surfaces is observed.
