Why This Socket Matters

The 5mm hex bit is the workhorse of precision assembly. This socket delivers the right grip diameter (11.9mm) and bit depth (18mm) to seat fasteners firmly without cam-out or wobble. The knurled band provides tactile feedback during hand operation—critical when working with delicate assemblies where over-torque is a risk.

The 37mm length is intentionally compact: it clears tight spaces while maintaining enough leverage for manual fastening. Pair it with a 1/4-inch ratchet for controlled torque work, or use it in a quick-change holder for rapid production runs.
