The DeWalt 14 mm X 1/2 in. drive Metric 6 Point Deep Socket is built for serious maintenance tasks where reach and grip matter. Crafted from Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel and finished in polished chrome, this deep socket combines durability with a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that stays cleaner longer in tough shop environments.
Designed for metric fasteners, its 14 mm size and 6-point geometry provide a secure bite on hex nuts, minimizing rounding even on stubborn hardware. The deep socket design delivers added reach, letting you access nuts on long bolts or recessed fasteners that standard sockets can’t reach. This is especially valuable in automotive work, machinery repairs, and equipment maintenance where space behind a bolt is limited but torque is needed.

- Equipment and machinery maintenance: access recessed fasteners behind brackets or housings where space is tight.
- Bike and motorcycle upkeep: tighten or loosen hex nuts threaded onto longer bolts that sit flush with mounting points.
Why this socket stands apart: the combination of a precise 14 mm size, 6-point engagement, and a long-reaching deep socket minimizes rounding risk while maximizing access in cramped or recessed areas. The polished chrome finish not only looks sharp but resists rust from everyday shop conditions, keeping the tool usable and reliable over time.
Care and tips for best results: use with a standard 1/2 inch ratchet or torque wrench designed for hand tools. Avoid using impact drivers with this socket to preserve the integrity of the chrome finish and the socket geometry. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry toolbox tray to maintain performance and longevity.
