Deep sockets or long reach sockets have a longer body than standard sockets allowing them to access recessed fasteners or fasteners in confined spaces. Deep sockets are available with 6-point, 12-point and torx head shapes and a wide range of sizes with an metric or imperial configuration. Deep sockets are ideal for use in applications where fasteners are difficult to access or in confined spaces such as in the automotive repair industry where they are used on engine bolts, exhaust systems and suspension components.
