DeWalt 5/16 in. x 3/8 in. Drive SAE 6-Point Deep Socket combines rugged durability with focused design to tackle recessed fasteners in automotive, equipment, and home workshop settings. Made from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished in polished chrome, this 5/16" SAE deep socket is built to withstand daily use without warping or rounding. Its 3/8" drive size makes it a versatile add-on for standard ratchets, wrenches, and torque tools, delivering reliable engagement where you need it most.
Why this socket stands out:
-
Precise 6-point grip: The six contact points securely bite into hex fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage in tough-to-turn nuts.
-
Deep reach for recessed fasteners: At 2-1/2" long, this deep socket dives past obstacles and reaches fasteners that standard shallow sockets can’t touch.
-
Durable construction: Chrome vanadium alloy steel offers lasting strength and resistance to wear under high-torque conditions.
-
Professional finish: Polished chrome not only looks sharp, but provides corrosion resistance for longevity in challenging shop environments.
-
Exact specifications for compatibility: Drive size 3/8", nut size 5/16", Nut End Outside Diameter 1-1/4", Drive End Outside Diameter 1-1/4", Nut Depth 7/8", Bolt Clearance Depth 1-25/32".
-
Single-piece packaging: Carded packaging keeps the tool ready to grab in a crowded toolkit or on a job site.
-
Non-impact rated: Designed for non-impact use with standard ratchets and wrenches, ensuring appropriate performance where impact-rated tools aren’t required.
Ideal for: automotive maintenance (engine bays, suspension work, and exhaust components), machinery assemblies, and home projects where fasteners sit just out of reach. It’s especially useful when servicing vehicles or equipment with recessed nuts, tight spaces, or long bolts that demand extra length to access.
Practical tips for optimal use: pair this 5/16" deep socket with a clean, properly sized 3/8" drive ratchet for smooth engagement. Keep the polished chrome clean and dry after use to maintain performance and prevent corrosion. Store with other DeWalt sockets in a organized tool chest to minimize wear and ensure you have the right size at hand when a project demands speed and precision.
Choose the DeWalt 5/16 in. SAE 6-Point Deep Socket for dependable grip, extended reach, and durable construction that helps you finish jobs faster with fewer stripped fasteners and dropped nuts.
