Meet the DeWalt 3/8 in. x 1/4 in. drive SAE 6 Point Deep Socket — a precision, compact tool designed to tackle recessed fasteners with confidence. Built for durability and steady performance, this socket is ready for daily shop tasks and weekend projects alike.
Why this deep socket stands apart
-
Six-point design grips hex fasteners more securely than traditional eight- or twelve-point sockets, reducing the risk of rounding on stubborn nuts.
-
Chrome Vanadium steel with a polished chrome finish delivers long-lasting strength and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
-
Deep reach (1-15/16" length) helps you access recessed fasteners and longer studs where standard shallow sockets fall short.
-
SAE compatibility sized for common standard nuts, with a 3/8 in. nut size and a 1/4 in. drive that pairs with compact ratchets and drivers.
-
Nut depth 1/2 in. and bolt clearance depth 1-3/8 in. accommodate a range of fasteners while maintaining precise engagement.
-
Carded packaging provides secure retail display and easy storage on your workbench or toolbox.
-
Not impact-rated, designed for standard torque applications where a traditional socket is preferred.
