The Milwaukee 16 mm Standard Socket combines precise metric sizing with a robust 3/8 in. drive, engineered to handle everyday fastening tasks with confidence. Crafted from chrome vanadium steel and finished in bright chrome, this socket is built to withstand regular shop use while resisting corrosion and wear over time.
Why the 6-point design matters
The six-point geometry delivers maximum contact on the flats of 16 mm fasteners, providing a secure, slip-free grip even when the bolt shows minor wear. This makes it a dependable choice for standard, non-impact applications where consistent torque and a snug fit are essential.
