Meet the DeWalt 4 mm x 1/4 in. drive Metric 6-Point Socket—built for precise, reliable performance on metric fasteners. Crafted from Chrome Vanadium steel with a polished chrome finish, this compact socket is designed to withstand daily use in workshops, garages, and mobile toolkits without sacrificing accuracy or grip.
Why this 4 mm, 6-point socket stands out:
-
Secure grip on metric hex fasteners: the 6-point internal design bites evenly into corners, reducing the chance of rounding and slipping under torque, especially on tight or corroded fasteners.
-
Durable, professional-grade material: Chrome Vanadium steel delivers long-term strength and resilience, while the polished chrome finish resists wear and wipes clean with ease.
-
Perfect fit for 1/4 in. drive ratchets: the 1/4" drive size makes it ideal for small, delicate jobs where a larger socket would be cumbersome—great for electronics enclosures, bicycle maintenance, and fine mechanical work.
-
Metric precision, compact form: a 4 mm opening provides precise engagement with metric bolts and studs commonly found in modern equipment, furniture assemblies, and light automotive tasks.
-
Thoughtful dimensions for real-world use: at 31/32 in length, with a Nut End Outside Diameter of 9/32 in and a Drive End Outside Diameter of 15/32 in, this socket reaches into tight spaces while maintaining sturdy engagement. Nut depth is 5/32 in and bolt clearance depth is 21/32 in for versatile fastener access.
Who is this socket for?
- DIY enthusiasts tackling bike maintenance, electronics enclosure assembly, or small-assembly projects that use metric fasteners.
- Professional technicians who need a dependable, precision-oriented tool for delicate fasteners and compact spaces.
- Anyone building or repairing gear with metric hardware who values a durable, accurate socket that resists rounding and wear.
How to use it effectively
- Pair with a 1/4 in. drive ratchet or torque wrench for controlled, precise turning. Ensure the 4 mm opening seats squarely onto the fastener before applying torque.
- Avoid using impact tools—this socket is not impact rated, so reserve it for hand-tool use to extend life and maintain accurate sizing.
- Store with other metric sockets to keep your toolset organized and ready for fast, accurate maintenance jobs.
