If you're tackling metric fasteners in a shop or garage, the DeWalt 15 mm x 3/8 in. drive Metric 6-Point Socket is built to deliver dependable torque transfer and a precise fit. Crafted from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished in polished chrome, this 15 mm metric socket stands up to daily use without rounding fasteners.
Why this 6-point design matters
The six-point geometry distributes torque across more of the fastener corners, reducing slippage and cam-out compared with traditional 12-point sockets. That means you can apply high torque on stubborn bolts with greater control, edge-to-edge contact, and less risk of rounding.
