- Improved access: Useful for recessed nuts, longer studs and compact working areas.

Application
- Tightening and loosening 8mm metric nuts and bolts

- Automotive and motorcycle maintenance
- Workshop assembly and repair tasks
- Machinery, equipment and bracket work
- DIY repairs and home improvement projects
- Use with compatible 1/4" drive ratchets and extensions
Extra Information
- Use only with compatible 1/4" drive tools and accessories.
- Always confirm the fastener size before use to avoid rounding or damaging the fastener.
- Make sure the socket is fully seated over the fastener before applying torque.
- Use an extension where extra reach is needed, but avoid side loading the socket.
- For stubborn fasteners, apply controlled force and avoid using excessive leverage on small drive tools.
Pro Tips
- Use this deep socket when a normal shallow socket cannot reach over a longer thread or into a recessed area.
- Seat the socket fully before turning to reduce slipping and rounding.
- Pair with a 1/4" extension for extra reach in tight or awkward spaces.
- Store individual sockets on a socket rail so the 8mm does not disappear into the toolbox wilderness.
How to Use
- Confirm that the fastener is an 8mm metric nut, bolt or hex fastener.
- Attach the deep socket to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, handle or extension.
- Place the socket fully over the fastener.
- Keep the socket straight and aligned with the fastener.
- Turn clockwise to tighten or anti-clockwise to loosen.
- Use steady hand pressure and avoid forcing the socket if the fastener is stuck.
- Remove the socket after use and store it clean and dry.
Safety
- Wear eye protection when working in workshop, garage or repair environments.
- Use the correct socket size to avoid slipping, rounding fasteners or damaging the socket.
- Make sure the socket is fully seated before applying force.
- Do not use the socket as a punch, pry tool, chisel or lever.
- Do not use damaged, cracked or excessively worn sockets.
- Keep hands clear of pinch points, sharp edges and moving parts while working.
- Do not use on live electrical circuits unless the full tool setup is rated for insulated electrical work.
