Meet the DeWalt 8 mm Metric 6-Point Deep Socket with a 1/4 in. drive — a focused tool designed to grip hex fasteners firmly in confined spaces. Crafted from durable Chrome Vanadium Steel and finished in polished chrome, this socket is built to last through routine maintenance and light-duty projects without rounding corners or failing under torque.
-
6-point hex grip delivers superior torque retention and reduces cam-out when tackling stubborn, rounded, or high-torque fasteners.
-
Deep socket design provides extra reach for nuts on longer bolts, studs, or recessed fasteners common in engines, bikes, and machinery.
-
1/4 in. drive compatibility makes it ideal for compact ratchets, portable drivers, and slimline tool reels—perfect for tight workspaces and delicate assemblies.
-
Metric 8 mm sizing covers a broad range of everyday metric applications, from automotive maintenance to bicycle repair and equipment assembly.
-
Durable construction in Chrome Vanadium Steel with a polished chrome finish offers wear resistance and corrosion protection for years of use.
-
Precise dimensions for reliable fit: Nut end outside diameter 15/32 in., Nut depth 13/32 in., Bolt clearance depth 1-5/8 in., ensuring consistent seating and easy nut engagement in crowded spaces.
-
Carded packaging keeps the tool organized and ready for display or storage, reducing search time in your workspace.
-
Not impact-rated designed for hand tools and non-impact drivers; avoid using with impact wrenches to preserve the socket’s integrity.
This socket is an ideal companion for anyone who works on small engines, motorcycles, cars, or bicycles where space is at a premium. Use it to reach fasteners located behind brackets, within engine bays, or along frame rails where a standard shallow socket just won’t reach. Its 6-point configuration helps you apply steady torque without slipping, making repeated sessions more efficient and less frustrating.
Why choose this DeWalt 8 mm deep socket
-
Dedicated 1/4 in. drive for light-duty scenarios where a larger drive would be cumbersome.
-
Deep reach expands your tool repertoire beyond standard sockets, letting you work on longer fasteners without removing adjacent components.
-
Durable, long-lasting finish keeps corrosion at bay in shop environments, grease, and humidity.
Practical tips for best results: pair this socket with a quality 1/4 in. drive ratchet and a slimline extension for maximum maneuverability in tight spaces. After use, wipe away oil and dust, then store with other metric, 1/4 in. drive sockets to preserve the polished finish and ensure quick access on your next project.
