Socket Bit with Screwdriver Tip 5.5 mm, 3/8" Drive, 50 mm Length — Proxxon PR23592

Proxxon socket bit PR23592 is a 5.5 mm screwdriver-tip attachment designed for 3/8" drive tools with a total length of 50 mm. It is intended to provide a compact, durable solution for fastening and loosening screws in restricted or hard-to-reach areas. The hardened tip improves engagement with screw heads while the standardized drive interface allows use with manual torque adapters, extension bars and powered ratchets that accept 3/8" sockets.

Advantages

The bit combines a precise 5.5 mm screwdriver tip with a 3/8" drive to deliver stable torque transfer and reduced cam‑out. Its 50 mm overall length balances reach and control, making it suitable for tight spaces without sacrificing handling. Heat treatment of the working tip increases wear resistance and maintains shape under repeated use. The compact form factor enables quick bit changes and compatibility with common socket accessories.

Suitable for

• Fastening and loosening screws in confined or recessed areas
• Use with 3/8" drive ratchets, torque adapters and extension bars
• Workshop maintenance, appliance repair and light mechanical assembly

Key specifications

• Screwdriver tip diameter: 5.5 mm
• Drive size: 3/8" (female square drive interface)
• Overall length: 50 mm
• Working tip: hardened for increased wear resistance
• Suitable for manual and powered 3/8" drive tools

How to use

Insert the bit into the 3/8" drive socket of a compatible ratchet, torque adapter or extension. Place the screwdriver tip into the screw head and apply steady torque, ensuring proper alignment to minimize slipping. For powered tools, use controlled speed and avoid excessive torque that could deform the tip or damage the screw. After use, wipe the bit clean and store it in a bit holder or socket organizer to protect the hardened tip.

Usage recommendations

Choose the 5.5 mm screwdriver tip when the screw head matches this size and when access requires a short, robust bit. Inspect the tip regularly for rounding or wear and replace if engagement becomes unreliable. Use appropriate torque settings on powered tools to prevent damage to fasteners and the bit.
