Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The DeWalt 5/16 in. x 3/8 in. drive SAE 12-point socket is a purpose-built precision tool designed to conquer tight spaces and stubborn fasteners with confidence. Crafted from Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel and finished in polished chrome, this socket offers durability, reliable torque transfer, and lasting shine for your everyday repairs.

  • Size and drive: 5/16 in. SAE, 12-point design for quick engagement in hex fasteners, 3/8 in. drive for use with standard ratchets and hand tools.
  • Material and finish: Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel with a polished chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
  • Dimensions: Length 1 in.; Nut end outside diameter 13/32 in.; Drive end outside diameter 11/16 in.; Nut depth 1/8 in.; Bolt clearance depth 3/16 in.
  • Packaging and compatibility: Carded packaging for retail display; not impact-rated (intended for hand-tool use with standard sockets and ratchets).
  • Count: Sold as a single socket in each package.

This 12-point socket is specifically designed to maximize engagement in constrained spaces where a traditional six-point socket might struggle. The 12-point geometry allows you to line up with the fastener from multiple angles, reducing the number of turns required and minimizing rounded corners on stubborn bolts. The 3/8 in. drive ensures compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and handles common automotive, mechanical, and home repair tasks with ease.

Why choose this DeWalt socket over other options? The combination of premium Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel and a polished chrome finish delivers durable performance and a clean look that holds up under routine use. The precise nut depth and bolt clearance measurements help you predict fitment in shallow or recessed fasteners, while the nut end and drive end diameters are designed to balance strength with accessibility in tighter workspaces.

Practical use cases include automotive maintenance (brake line components, exhaust hardware, and engine bay fasteners), bicycle repairs, lawn equipment service, and DIY projects where space is at a premium. It’s ideal for craftsmen who value reliable, repeatable engagement without swapping tools mid-repair.

Pro tips for best results: pair this socket with a standard 3/8 in. drive ratchet or a compact breaker bar for stubborn fasteners. Avoid using impact drivers with this non–impact-rated socket to preserve the chrome finish and geometry over time. Keep it in your hand tool kit or roll up for on-site jobs where a compact, trustworthy 5/16 in. SAE socket makes the difference between a quick fix and a frustrating delay.
