Meet the DeWalt 14 mm x 1/2 in. drive Metric 12-Point Deep Socket — a purpose-built tool for accessing metric fasteners buried deep within engines, suspensions, and power equipment. Designed for durable performance and precise engagement, this socket helps you tackle tight spaces with confidence.
Why this deep socket stands out
-
Metric 14 mm size paired with a standard 1/2 in drive makes it compatible with a wide range of ratchets, handles, and torque wrenches.
-
12-point design provides multiple contact points for quicker alignment and a secure grip on hex fasteners in cramped work areas.
-
Deep reach geometry extends past bolt heads seated deep in assemblies, reducing the need for extra extensions and helping you access recessed fasteners.
-
Material and finish crafted from Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel with a polished chrome finish for durability and easier cleanup in harsh shop environments.
-
Not impact rated—intended for use with standard hand tools and light-duty impact applications, ensuring you choose the right tool for the job.
-
Carded packaging and single-piece lot, ideal for adding a precise socket to your kit without clutter.
