When you’re wrenching on heavy-duty fasteners, you need a socket that can keep up. The DeWalt 1-3/8 in. SAE 6-Point Impact Socket, driven by a robust 3/4 in. drive, is built to handle high-torque jobs without rounding corners or failing under pressure. Designed for professional durability and fierce reliability, this socket is ready for the tough realities of automotive, industrial, and equipment maintenance work.
Why it’s unique
-
Size and drive suited for big jobs: 1-3/8 in. SAE socket size with a 3/4 in. drive—perfect for heavy fasteners found in trucks, trailers, and machinery.
-
Rugged construction you can trust: Made from Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel to endure repeated impact and torque without deformation.
-
Impact-rated design: Specifically engineered for use with impact wrenches, delivering consistent performance under high torque and abusive shop conditions.
-
Six-point grip for stubborn fasteners: The 6-point geometry provides superior contact on flats, reducing rounding when dealing with stubborn or corroded bolts.
-
Protective finish for longevity: Black Oxide finish helps resist rust and keeps surface wear to a minimum, preserving fit and effectiveness over time.
-
Single-piece, shop-ready packaging: Carded packaging ensures your tool is protected in transit and ready to display or store in a toolbox or rack.
What this socket helps you accomplish
From automotive brake assemblies to heavy equipment maintenance, this DeWalt impact socket delivers reliable power transfer and a secure grip. Use it for:
- Removing or installing large SAE fasteners on suspensions, control arms, and steering components.
- Working on trucks, trailers, and construction equipment where high torque is common.
- Maintenance tasks that require a socket to endure repeated impacts without rounding or cracking.
Materials, finish, and durability
The socket’s Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel construction is a cornerstone of DeWalt’s durability. Paired with a Black Oxide finish, it resists corrosion and visual wear, keeping the tool looking and performing like new through countless jobs. The 6-point geometry concentrates contact on the sides of the fastener, reducing the risk of slipping and cam-out under heavy loads.
