Meet the DeWalt 5 mm X 1/4 in. drive Metric 6 Point Deep Socket—a precision tool built to handle tight corners and recessed fasteners with confidence. Designed for 5 mm hex bolts, this 1/4 in drive deep socket delivers a secure, slip-free grip that minimizes rounding in demanding tasks.
Why this deep socket stands out:
-
Material you can trust: Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel stands up to daily use, while the polished chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean easily.
-
Six-point engagement: The 6-point design maximizes contact with fasteners, reducing rounding and delivering reliable torque transfer in confined spaces.
-
Deep reach for recessed fasteners: The deep socket geometry enables access to bolts that sit deeper within frames, brackets, or housings—great for bicycles, small engines, and electronics enclosures.
-
Precisely sized for 5 mm hardware: Socket Size is 5 mm, paired with a 1/4 in drive for nimble handling with standard ratchets and adapters.
-
Compact dimensions for tight work: Overall length of 1-15/16 in. and a drive end outside diameter of 15/32 in. help you fit into restricted spots without sacrificing leverage.

Getting the most out of this socket is simple. It’s ideal for light-to-medium torque applications where access is limited, such as bicycle maintenance (derailleur and brake components), small-engine work, and electronics or computer enclosure assemblies that use metric fasteners. The 1/4 in drive is compatible with a wide range of standard ratchets and adapters, making it a versatile addition to a DIYer’s toolkit or a professional’s compact tool kit.
Practical tips for best results: use with a properly rated ratchet and avoid exceeding the socket’s intended torque range. Keep the chrome finish clean and dry to prevent corrosion, and store in the original carded packaging to protect the 6-point geometry from damage.
