DeWalt 12 mm X 3/8 in. drive Metric 6 Point Socket is built for precision and durability when you’re tightening or loosening metric fasteners in tight spots. Made from chrome vanadium alloy steel, this socket withstands heavy use without rounding or chipping, keeping fasteners intact and your project moving.
The 6-point profile bites into hex nuts for a secure grip, reducing the risk of slipping under torque. The polished chrome finish not only looks professional but also resists corrosion and makes cleanup easier after dirty jobs.
