Product Information
Full details
The Laser 10mm deep socket (MPN: 1953) is an essential tool for professional mechanics and automotive DIY enthusiasts who frequently encounter recessed fasteners. Engineered for high-torque applications, this 3/8-inch drive socket features a 63mm depth that provides the reach necessary for bolts located in tight engine bays or deep assemblies. While its robust construction ensures long-term reliability, users should ensure they are using a compatible 3/8-inch drive ratchet to avoid slippage or tool damage.

FAQs
Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?
No, this socket is designed for manual hand-tool use and should not be used with power impact tools.
What is the total length of this socket?
The total depth of this deep socket is 63mm.
Does this socket fit a 1/2-inch drive ratchet?
No, it requires a 3/8-inch drive tool. You would need a 1/2-to-3/8 inch adapter to use it with a 1/2-inch drive ratchet.
Is this socket 6-point or 12-point?
It features a single hex (6-point) profile for better grip on fastener heads.
What size is the drive fitting?
This socket is built with a standard 3/8-inch drive.
Troubleshooting
Socket will not attach to ratchet
Ensure the ratchet drive is exactly 3/8-inch and check for debris inside the socket drive square.
Socket slips off the bolt head
Verify that the fastener is exactly 10mm and that the socket is fully seated over the head of the bolt.
Surface rust appearing on the exterior
Clean the surface with a fine wire brush or rust-inhibitor spray and keep stored in a moisture-controlled environment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent depth for recessed fasteners
- Secure single hex grip prevents slippage
- Durable construction for high-torque tasks
- Standard 3/8-inch drive fitting
Cons
- Limited to 10mm fastener size

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the socket, simply attach it to any standard 3/8-inch drive ratchet or extension bar until the detent ball clicks into place. It is fully compatible with manual ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars of the same drive size.
To maintain the integrity of the tool:
- Wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove oil and grease.
- Apply a light coating of machine oil to prevent surface oxidation if stored in a humid garage.
- Avoid using this socket with impact guns, as the high-intensity shock can compromise the integrity of the chrome finish and the socket structure itself.
- Store in a cool, dry toolbox organizer to prevent impact damage to the hex walls.
