1/4-Inch Drive E-Type Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive E-type long hand socket is purpose-built for accessing recessed or deeply seated fasteners where standard socket depth falls short. The 50mm extended shaft provides the reach your technicians need in tight engine bays, electronics assemblies, and precision applications. Chrome-plated construction with a knurled grip collar ensures durability and comfortable handling during extended use. If your shop also works with hex-drive fasteners, consider pairing this with standard 6-point long-reach sockets for comprehensive fastener coverage, or explore compact E-type alternatives for even tighter spaces.

Key Features

• Extended 50mm shaft – Reaches recessed or deeply set E-type fasteners without obstruction
• Precision E-type (Torx) tip – Six-lobed internal profile prevents cam-out and delivers positive engagement
• Chrome-plated finish – Corrosion-resistant with professional appearance
• Knurled grip collar – Non-slip shoulder band ensures secure handling and control
• Lightweight design – Minimal torque reaction, ideal for hand-operated applications

Why Choose This Socket?

E-type fasteners appear frequently in modern automotive electronics, precision engine components, and industrial assemblies. This long-hand variant eliminates the frustration of swapping between tools when standard sockets cannot physically reach. The 50mm shaft + 12mm drive body combination maintains excellent clearance in confined spaces while delivering the torque control that hand-operated work demands.

The knurled collar prevents slipping during application, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy—critical when working with small, delicate fasteners. Chrome plating extends service life in damp workshop environments.
