Product Information
Full details
This Laser Tools Deep Socket is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to reach recessed fasteners. Its primary benefit is the extended length, allowing access to bolts and nuts that standard sockets cannot reach. A potential caveat is its specific drive size, requiring a compatible 3/8" drive tool. This 13mm socket, manufactured from durable chrome vanadium, features a 63mm depth and is ideal for tasks involving long threaded rods or components situated deep within an engine bay.

Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit fastener
Ensure the fastener is indeed 13mm and that the socket is fully seated on the fastener head.
Socket slips on fastener
Verify the socket is the correct size and fully engaged. Check the fastener head for damage or wear that might be preventing a secure grip.
Difficulty reaching recessed fastener
Confirm that this deep socket is appropriate for the task; ensure your 3/8" drive tool (ratchet/extension) is also compatible and offers sufficient reach.
Socket shows signs of rust
Clean the socket thoroughly with a rust remover or fine steel wool. Dry completely and apply a light coat of oil to prevent future rusting. Store in a dry location.
