Conquer deep‑set fasteners with the DeWalt 13 mm x 3/8 in. drive Metric 6 Point Deep Socket. Crafted from Chrome Vanadium alloy steel and finished in a polished chrome coating, this socket is built to endure demanding shop sessions while delivering precise, reliable torque where it matters most.
Why this DeWalt deep socket stands out
The 6‑point geometry grips hex corners securely, reducing cam-out and rounding on stubborn fasteners. The deep design provides extended reach for recessed bolts and long studs, making automotive maintenance, motorcycle repair, and heavy equipment service quicker and cleaner. While it’s not designed for impact tools, its robust CV steel construction handles regular hand‑driven torque with confidence.
