Introducing the DeWalt 10 mm x 3/8 in. drive metric 6-point deep socket — a precision tool built to tackle metric fasteners with confidence in tight spaces. Engineered for reliability, this socket blends durability, exact sizing, and thoughtful geometry to keep your projects moving.
Crafted from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished in polished chrome, it withstands daily use and resists corrosion. The 6-point design grips hex fasteners securely, reducing cam-out and minimizing rounding on stubborn bolts, a noticeable advantage when working on automotive, machinery, or equipment assemblies.
The deep socket geometry provides extended reach for recessed nuts, allowing you to access bolts hidden behind components, hoses, or brackets without having to disassemble surrounding parts. At approximately 1.78 inches long, it delivers the clearance you need for bolts seated deep in engines, powertrains, or machinery housings while staying compatible with a standard 3/8" drive ratchet.

Who will benefit from this socket? Automotive technicians, DIY enthusiasts, and hobbyists who frequently service metric fasteners in confined spaces will find the 10 mm deep socket invaluable. It's an ideal companion for engine bays, under-hood repairs, bike maintenance, lawn equipment servicing, and any task that requires reaching bolts behind obstructions where a standard socket can’t reach.
Why this DeWalt socket stands out: the combination of a robust chrome vanadium core, a precise 10 mm measurement, and a deep, 6-point profile translates to reliable torque transfer, reduced rounding, and lasting performance. The polished chrome finish adds corrosion resistance and easy wipe-down maintenance, keeping your tool looking and functioning like new through countless jobs.
Usage tips: pair this 10 mm deep socket with a 3/8" drive ratchet or torque wrench for controlled fastening. Ensure the socket fully engages the fastener head before applying torque, and avoid using impact drivers with this non–impact-rated design to preserve its edge and longevity. Store in a dry, organized tool chest to prevent rust and keep your socket ready for the next project.
