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

DeWalt 7/8 in. SAE 6-Point Socket crafted for 1/2 in. drive systems, engineered to help you tackle stubborn fasteners with confidence. Built from Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel, this socket combines rugged durability with precise, reliable performance for everyday shop and garage use.

  • 6-point geometry provides superior grip on hex fasteners, reducing the chance of rounding and slipping in high-torque applications.
  • SAE 7/8 in. size is ideal for larger automotive, machinery, and equipment fasteners, delivering steady torque without stripping.
  • 1/2 in. drive compatibility ensures seamless pairing with most ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches in standard workshop setups.
  • Polished chrome finish offers corrosion resistance and easy cleanup, keeping the socket looking and functioning like new longer.
  • Dimensions for fit and clearance:
    • Overall length: 1-1/2 in
    • Nut end outside diameter: 1-3/16 in
    • Nut depth: 23/32 in
    • Bolt clearance depth: 25/32 in
  • Carded packaging for retail display, ensuring you can spot and pick the right size quickly in-store or on the job.
  • Hand-tool oriented design withNon-impact rating—best used with hand ratchets and torque wrenches rather than impact drivers, preserving tool life and fastener integrity.

This DeWalt socket is a purpose-built solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who demand precise engagement and lasting performance when working with large SAE fasteners. Use it for automotive maintenance, equipment repair, or any project requiring a reliable 7/8 in. hex socket that integrates seamlessly with your 1/2 in. drive toolkit.

Why choose this socket over generic alternatives? It pairs a proven DeWalt build with a focused 7/8 in. SAE size, optimized for torque reliability and longevity in real-world tasks. The 6-point contact minimizes rounding, while the polished chrome finish and solid Chrome Vanadium construction stand up to daily shop wear. For best results, pair with a quality 1/2 in. ratchet or torque wrench and apply steady, even pressure to protect both fasteners and tools.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
