Milwaukee 5/32 in. X 1/4 in. drive SAE 6 Point Standard Deep Socket is a purpose-built tool designed to tackle tough fasteners in tight spaces. Made from durable chrome vanadium steel and finished with a polished chrome surface, this socket delivers reliable performance job after job.
Why the 6-point design matters
The 6-point geometry of this deep socket provides maximum contact with hex fasteners, distributing torque more evenly and helping to prevent rounding on stubborn bolts. It’s especially effective when handling corroded or tight fasteners where a standard 12-point socket might slip.
Deep reach and practical versatility
As a deep socket, it reaches recessed fasteners that shallow sockets can’t access, making it ideal for automotive work, bicycle maintenance, and equipment repairs. The 1/4" drive offers a balanced combination of access and grip for smaller fasteners, while the 5/32" SAE size is a common requirement in many repair and assembly projects.

How it compares to alternatives
Compared to shallower or twelve-point sockets, this Milwaukee deep socket with a six-point design offers stronger engagement on hex fasteners and better resistance to rounding, especially in high-torque or corrosion-prone scenarios. The polished chrome finish also simplifies cleanup after exposure to grime and lubricants, helping you keep your toolkit ready for the next job.
With its thoughtful balance of size, reach, and grip, this socket is a dependable addition to any SAE socket set, ensuring you have the right tool when space is limited and fasteners demand precise, secure engagement.
