DeWalt 13 mm Metric Deep Socket with a 1/4" drive is built for precision, durability, and hard-to-reach fasteners. Crafted from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished in a polished chrome, this 13 mm, 6-point deep socket prioritizes grip, longevity, and smooth operation in tight spots.
-
6-point deep socket design delivers superior engagement on hex corners, reducing rounding and slipping on stubborn fasteners.
-
1/4" drive provides a compact, nimble option for small fasteners, making it ideal for automotive, bike, appliance, and electronics work where space is limited.
-
Metric size: 13 mm ensures accurate fit for metric bolts and nuts without slipping or stripping.
-
Deep reach extends past typical sockets to clearance long studs and protruding nuts, helping you reach recessed hardware with ease.
-
Polished chrome finish offers corrosion resistance and easy wipe-down for daily workshop use.
-
Durable material in Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel stands up to routine shop sessions, while maintaining precise tolerances.
-
Not impact-rated—designated for hand tools and light-to-moderate use with ratchets and drivers.

Use cases and practical scenarios
- Automotive maintenance in cramped engine bays where a shallow, deep reach socket is essential to access recessed nuts and bolts.
- Bike repairs involving long wheel bolts or brake hardware that require a deep socket to clear protruding ends.
- Appliance service and electronics work where compact tooling is necessary to fit between components.
- Home DIY projects that demand reliable grip on metric fasteners without rounding or slipping.
Why this DeWalt socket stands out
- Specific 13 mm metric sizing paired with a 1/4" drive offers a compact, precise tool for small-fastener projects.
- The deep, 6-point geometry maximizes contact with hex fasteners, delivering more torque transfer and reducing rounding in challenging assemblies.
- From the polished finish to the robust chrome vanadium core, this socket is designed for repeated use in busy workshops and service bays.
- Its exact depth and diameter measurements ensure compatibility with typical household and professional hardware, avoiding fit issues in tight spaces.
Maintenance tip: wipe after use to remove oils and grime, store in a dry toolbox, and avoid exposing to harsh impacts that the non–impact-rated design isn’t engineered to handle.
