The DeWalt 16 mm x 1/2 in. drive Metric 6 Point Deep Socket is built to handle the toughest metric fasteners with precision and reliability. Crafted from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished in polished chrome, this socket delivers both durability and a slick, corrosion-resistant surface that stays smooth through heavy use.
Key design features that set it apart:
-
Size and fit: 16 mm hex for common metric bolts and nuts, paired with a 1/2 in. drive for ample torque without sacrificing control.
-
Six-point geometry: Maximizes grip on hex fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding and slippage during high-torque applications.
-
Deep socket profile: Extended socket depth for accessing recessed fasteners and bolts that sit deep in engines, transmissions, or machinery.
-
Precise dimensions: Nut depth 1-7/32 in. and bolt clearance depth of 2-15/32 in. ensure reliable engagement and easier positioning in tight spaces.
-
Full-profile endurance: Polished chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup quick after greasy, dirty jobs.
-
Not impact rated: Designed for hand tools and standard ratchet use, preserving socket integrity under controlled torque.
-
Convenient packaging: Carded packaging for easy display and quick identification in busy tool chests or shop setups.
Ideal applications and use cases:
- Automotive maintenance and repair where metric fasteners sit deeper in engine bays, frames, and suspension components.
- Bike and motorcycle service, especially when servicing components tucked away behind exhausts or fairings.
- Machinery and equipment maintenance that requires reaching long bolts without removing surrounding parts.
- Torque-assisted tasks with a standard 1/2 in. drive ratchet or torque wrench, ensuring controlled, repeatable tightness.
