Meet the DeWalt 1-1/8 in. x 1/2 in. Drive SAE Deep Impact Socket — a purpose-built solution for demanding fastener work. Crafted from durable Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel, this 6-point SAE socket is engineered to handle high-torque impacts with reliability, making it a trusted choice for professional shops and serious DIY projects alike.
Why this deep impact socket stands out
-
Premium construction: Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel delivers long-lasting strength under heavy impact, resisting wear and deformation when you’re breaking stubborn fasteners free.
-
SAE, 1-1/8 inch size: Precisely sized for common SAE fasteners, ensuring a snug, secure grip that minimizes rounding and cam-out during high-torque use.
-
1/2 inch drive compatibility: Designed to pair with standard 1/2" drive impact wrenches and breakers, enabling efficient power transfer for faster job completion.
-
Deep socket design: The extended geometry provides additional reach for recessed bolts and longer studs, expanding the range of tasks you can tackle without swapping tools.
-
Six-point grip: The 6-point interior helps distribute torque evenly across the fastener flats, reducing the chance of stripping and providing a secure hold on stubborn fasteners.
-
Black oxide finish: A durable, corrosion-resistant coating that reduces glare and stands up to tough shop environments, ensuring longevity and easier maintenance.
-
Impact rated: Specifically built to withstand the shocks of impact tools, so you can torque with confidence without worrying about premature wear.
-
Carded packaging: Convenient, display-friendly packaging that makes it easy to organize and access the exact size you need in busy workspaces.
Ideal use cases
This socket shines in automotive, construction, and industrial settings where you need a reliable SAE option that can handle tough fasteners. Use it for:
- Automotive maintenance and repair tasks involving 1-1/8" SAE fasteners
- Industrial equipment servicing where deep reach reduces the need for multiple tools
