Milwaukee 9/16 in. SAE 6-Point Deep Socket designed for 3/8 in. drive—built for serious, everyday mechanical work. This is the trustworthy hand-tool solution you reach for when you need a secure, hex-friendly grip on recessed fasteners without stripping or slipping.
-
Size and drive: 9/16 in. socket on a 3/8 in. drive for compatibility with standard ratchets and extensions.
-
Six-point design: Delivers superior torque transfer to hex nuts, reducing rounding and cam-out on stubborn fasteners.

Single-item packaging: Carded packaging keeps this socket ready to grab in any toolbox or workstation.
-
Limitations: This socket is non-impact rated, so it’s optimized for hand tools and standard mechanical work rather than impact drivers.
This SAE socket lives at the intersection of precision and practicality. The 9/16 in. size is a common fit for automotive suspension components, exhaust fasteners, and many industrial fittings, while the 3/8 in. drive works alongside a typical mid-sized ratchet or wobble bar for tight spaces. The deep profile allows you to work without removing adjacent hardware or covers, saving time on repairs and maintenance tasks.
Ideal for automotive technicians, DIY enthusiasts, and maintenance professionals who demand reliable, repeatable performance. It pairs effortlessly with other Milwaukee hand tools to form a durable, manual toolkit capable of handling everyday repairs—from lawn equipment upkeep to in-shop machinery servicing.
Pro tips: Use with a high-quality 3/8 in. drive ratchet or extension for best leverage. For especially stubborn fasteners, apply steady, steady pressure rather than sudden torque to minimize the risk of head rounding. Store with other deep sockets of similar sizes to maintain easy access and quick selection during busy workdays.
