Key features
- 11/16 in. SAE size with a 12-point geometry for quick alignment and a secure grip on fasteners, even when space is tight.
- Deep socket design at 2-7/32 in. length, ideal for accessing nuts and bolts that sit deep on studs or recessed positions.
- 3/8 in. drive fits common ratchets and torque wrenches, giving you versatile, hands-on control without swapping tools.
- Material: Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel ensures toughness and long life under heavy use.
- Finish: Polished Chrome provides a smooth surface that resists rust and makes cleanup easy after grime-filled jobs.
- Exterior and interior dimensions: Nut end outside diameter 15/16 in., nut depth 25/32 in., bolt clearance depth 1-9/16 in. These precise measurements help with fitment planning in advance of a repair.
- Packaging: Carded packaging for secure presentation in retail environments.
- Not impact rated: Designed for hand tools and standard ratchet use, not for impact drivers or pneumatic impact wammers. Why this socket matters
- Real-world accessibility: The deep profile reaches fasteners hidden behind components, enabling work in cramped engines bays, beneath dashboards, or on lawn equipment where space is limited.
- Reliability you can feel: DeWalt’s all-metal construction and polished finish translate to smooth operation, fewer stripped fasteners, and easier maintenance over time.
- Precise engagement every time: The 12-point geometry accommodates multiple entry angles, reducing the chance of slippage and rounding when aligning with stubborn or partially seated nuts. Ideal users and use cases
- Automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts tackling engine bays, transmission housings, and under-car work where you need to reach recessed nuts.
- Mechanic shops and hobbyists servicing motorcycles, power equipment, or home appliances that use 11/16 in. fasteners.
- Anyone replacing worn hardware where a reliable, long-reach socket helps you avoid disassembly of surrounding components. Practical tips
- Pair with a quality 3/8 in. ratchet or torque wrench for precise torque control.
- Keep the socket dry and clean after use; wipe away grease to preserve the polished finish and prevent corrosion over time.
- Use in combination with a socket rail or organizer to protect the 2-7/32 in. depth from knocks and misplacement in busy tool areas. With its balance of reach, engagement, and proven DeWalt durability, this 11/16 in. SAE 12-point deep socket is the dependable workhorse you reach for again and again when standard sockets just won’t cut it.
