DeWalt 10 mm x 3/8 in. drive Metric 12-Point Deep Socket is engineered to tackle recessed fasteners with precision and reliability. Crafted from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished with a durable chrome plating, this socket stands up to daily shop use and resists corrosion in demanding environments.
The 12-point design provides versatile engagement angles, making it easier to align quickly with fasteners in cramped spaces. The deep socket length reaches bolts tucked deep inside engines, frames, and machinery—letting you access fasteners that shallow sockets can’t reach. Paired with a standard 3/8 in. drive, it fits a wide range of ratchets and adapters for flexible, efficient work.

Why it stands out
- Specific 10 mm metric sizing ensures an exact fit for common automotive, bicycle, and machinery fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding.
- The deep, 12-point profile yields greater engagement tolerance, helping you seat the fastener even when misalignment occurs in tight spaces.
- Chrome-vanadium construction combined with a chrome-plated finish delivers durability and corrosion resistance—ideal for solvent-rich shop environments.
- Designed for non-impact use, making it perfect for hand ratchets, torque wrenches, and adapters where controlled torque and precision matter.
Ideal for
- Automotive maintenance and repairs where engines, dashboards, and under-hood components require deep reach
- Bike maintenance, lawn equipment, and power tools that use metric 10 mm fasteners
- Home mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who prioritize tool longevity and accurate fit
Practical tips for best results
- Use with a 3/8 in. drive ratchet or a compatible torque wrench for controlled tightening.
- Avoid using with impact drivers to preserve the socket’s integrity and the 12-point engagement.
- Inspect the socket regularly for wear and keep it clean to maintain a precise fit on 10 mm fasteners.
