-
Dimensions you can rely on: Nut End Outside Diameter 5/8 in., Drive End Outside Diameter 11/16 in., Nut Depth 5/16 in., Bolt Clearance Depth 5/16 in.—helpful details if you’re working in tight spaces or recessed fasteners.
-
Length and packaging: 1 inch long socket, packaged securely on carded packaging for quick identification in a busy tool kit.
-
Not impact-rated: This socket is designed for hand tools and standard ratchets, not for impact wrenches, ensuring precise engagement with metric fasteners.
Why this DeWalt socket stands out
What sets the 11 mm x 3/8 in. drive metric 6-point socket apart is its combination of durability, precise fit, and practical geometry. The chrome vanadium construction is engineered to withstand repeated tightening and loosening without losing its shape, while the polished finish makes it easy to spot in a crowded tool tray. The 6-point profile provides superior torque transfer on stubborn or rusted metric bolts, helping you get the job done without rounding corners.
Ideal use cases
Designed for metric fasteners across automotive, machinery, and home maintenance scenarios, this socket shines in tasks like replacing engine bay components, servicing lawn equipment, or dialing in bike and household repairs that require a reliable 11 mm hex. Its compact 1-inch length is a practical choice when you’re working in narrow spaces where deep sockets are unnecessary or unwieldy.
How to get the most from your 11 mm metric socket
- Pair with a standard 3/8" drive ratchet for versatile control and comfortable operation.
- Use with a high-quality extension bar in tight spots to reach recessed fasteners without sacrificing torque.
- Keep the polished chrome surface clean and dry to maintain maximum grip and corrosion resistance.
- Avoid using with impact tools to preserve precise engagement and the socket’s structural integrity.
