The DeWalt 1 in. SAE 6-Point Impact Socket, built with rugged Chrome Vanadium steel, is engineered to tackle high-torque fasteners with confidence. Designed for professional workshops and serious DIY projects, this socket delivers reliable performance when you need it most—from heavy automotive jobs to equipment maintenance.
Why this socket stands out
-
1-inch SAE size paired with a 3/4-inch drive provides the ideal combo for large, high-torque fasteners.
-
6-point design offers maximum contact on hex fasteners, reducing rounding and distributing torque more evenly for safer, longer-lasting job completion.
-
Chrome Vanadium steel construction ensures durability under repeated impact and torque, even in demanding shop environments.
-
Black oxide finish adds a layer of wear resistance and reduces glare, making it practical for fast-paced work under varied lighting.
-
Impact-rated specifically designed to withstand the shocks of impact wrenches, ensuring consistent performance job after job.
-
Carded packaging facilitates easy in-store display and quick identification in your tool chest.
What problems it solves
When you’re loosening or tightening large SAE bolts, slippage and fastener rounding can ruin the job. This 6-point socket maximizes grip on the fastener corners, minimizes cam-out, and translates high torque into steady, controlled turning. The robust material and finish resist wear in greasy, workshop conditions, helping you avoid premature replacement and downtime.
Ideal for
- Automotive repairs involving large fasteners, such as suspensions, axles, and frames
- Heavy equipment maintenance and industrial applications where high torque is common
- Able to handle demanding DIY projects that require a trustworthy, impact-ready tool

Pro tips for best results
Pair this socket with a compatible 3/4-inch drive impact wrench for efficient high-torque operation. Ensure you’re using the correct 1-inch size for the fastener to maximize grip and minimize rounding. For longevity, keep the tool clean after use and store it in a dry environment to protect the black oxide finish.
