The DeWalt 14 mm X 3/8 in. drive Metric 12 Point Socket is a precise, reliable choice for metric fasteners in everyday maintenance and repair tasks. Crafted from Chrome Vanadium steel and finished in polished chrome, this socket is built to withstand regular use with a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that wipes clean after a job well done.
Why this socket stands out
-
Size and compatibility: 14 mm metric socket designed for standard 3/8 in. drive ratchets and torque wrenches, making it a versatile addition to any metric toolkit.
-
12-point design: More contact points than a typical 6-point socket, offering easier alignment and better grip on bolt heads in tight or awkward spaces.
-
Solid construction: Chrome Vanadium steel delivers durability and resilience for routine automotive, bike, and appliance work.
-
Finish and care: Polished chrome finish resists corrosion and cleans up quickly, helping maintain performance over time.
-
Compact and precise: 1 inch length with a nut depth of 13/32 inch and a bolt clearance depth of 1/2 inch, designed to reach recessed fasteners without sacrificing strength.
-
Packaged for reliability: Carded packaging protects the tool and makes it easy to display or store in a shop or roll-up pouch.
-
Single-piece simplicity: Sold as a single socket—ready to add to a kit or replace a worn piece without unnecessary extras.
Ideal uses and scenarios
- Automotive repairs where metric fasteners are common, such as engine bay work, suspension components, or body hardware.
- Bike maintenance tasks requiring precise 14 mm engagement in tight spaces.
- Home appliance servicing or DIY projects that involve metric bolts and nuts.
- Situations with limited access where a compact 12-point socket helps you align quickly and reduce slippage.
Practical guidance for best results
- Pair with a compatible 3/8 in. drive ratchet or torque wrench for controlled, repeatable torque application.
- Avoid use with impact drivers, since this socket is not impact-rated; use with hand tools to preserve finish and components.
- Keep dry and wipe clean after use to preserve the polished chrome finish and extend its life.
