DeWalt 7/16 in. x 3/8 in. Drive SAE 6-Point Deep Socket built for confidence under torque. Crafted from Chrome Vanadium alloy steel and finished in polished chrome, this deep socket is a reliable, precise tool designed to tackle recessed fasteners with ease.
Why this deep socket stands out
-
Durable material: Chrome Vanadium alloy steel provides lasting strength and resilience for daily shop use.
-
6-point engagement: The six-point design grips hex fasteners more securely, reducing rounding and slipping under high torque.
-
Deep reach: The extended depth accommodates recessed bolts and longer fasteners, giving you better access in tight spaces.
-
Precision finish: Polished chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup quick after greasy jobs.
-
Size and drive: SAE size 7/16 in with a 3/8 in drive fits common hand tools and ratchets, enhancing compatibility across your toolbox.
-
Exacting dimensions: Nut end/outside diameter 21/32 in, nut depth 21/32 in, and bolt clearance depth 1-11/32 in—designed for predictable fitment on standard fasteners.
-
Carded packaging: Convenient on-shelf presentation for quick inventory checks and easy replacement in professional settings.
-
Not for impact use: This socket is not impact-rated, making it ideal for hand-tool torque work and non-impact environments.
Ideal use cases
- Automotive maintenance tasks such as brake caliper and accessory work where recessed bolts are common.
- Bike and motorcycle repairs that require a precise 7/16 in hex fit into tight engine bays.
- Home appliance and lawn equipment service where deeper sockets improve reach and efficiency.
- Mechanical assemblies in DIY projects that demand consistent torque application without rounding fasteners.
How it helps you work smarter
With a reliable 3/8 in drive and a robust 7/16 in socket head, this DeWalt deep socket delivers steady torque transfer and reduced cam-out on hex fasteners. The polished finish simplifies wipe-downs after messy tasks, and the deep profile means fewer tools are needed when fasteners sit deeper in assemblies. This is the kind of tool you reach for again and again when a shallow socket won’t bite.
Care and longevity tips
- Keep it dry and clean after use to preserve the polished chrome finish.
- Avoid using impact drivers with this socket to maintain profile integrity and fit.
- Store with similar drive size sockets to minimize wear and keep your toolbox organized.
