-
Size and drive: SAE 7/8 in. with a 1/2 in. drive for compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and adapters.
-
Six-point design: The 6-point geometry provides a robust grip on hex fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage in high-torque scenarios.
-
Deep socket construction: Length of 3-1/8 in. enables access to recessed or long-headed bolts that standard sockets can’t reach.
-
Precise dimensions: Drive end outside diameter of 1-3/16 in. and nut depth of 1-7/32 in. plus a bolt clearance depth of 2-7/32 in., giving you reliable engagement and depth capacity.
-
Material and finish: Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel with a polished chrome finish for longevity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
-
Packaging and compatibility: Carded packaging for easy display and inventory; not impact-rated, making it ideal for standard socket wrench use rather than impact tools.
Why this socket stands out: a purpose-built deep socket that preserves hex integrity under load while reaching fasteners that sit deep inside engines, suspensions, and machinery. The 6-point profile minimizes slippage on stubborn bolts, and the polished chrome surface cleans easily, helping you keep your tools in peak condition after messy jobs.
Ideal use cases
- Automotive repairs where bolts sit flush or recessed behind components such as brake calipers, exhaust manifolds, or subframes.
- Bike and small-engine maintenance where long bolts or studs require extra reach.
- General workshop tasks that demand dependable engagement and a durable 1/2 in. drive socket solution.
Practical tips for best results: pair this 7/8 in. deep socket with a quality 1/2 in. drive ratchet or extension for maximum leverage. Since this socket is not impact-rated, reserve it for hand-tool use to preserve its precise fit and long life.
Designed for professionals and serious DIYers who demand reliable, long-lasting performance from their tools, the DeWalt 7/8 in. SAE 6-Point Deep Socket combines precise dimensions, durable construction, and thoughtful design to get the job done right—even when fasteners are stubborn or unusually recessed.
