(9.5mm) Drive 6-Point 9\/16-In. (14mm) Standard SAE Deep Socket\u003c\/strong\u003e is a single deep hand socket for turning 9\/16 inch fasteners with a 3\/8 inch drive ratchet or extension. This is a deep socket designed for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts on longer studs or in recessed locations. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eDWMT88988OSP\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this socket worth buying is the combination of a 6-point opening and DeWalt's DirectTorque design. On the job, that means better contact on the flats of the fastener instead of loading the corners as aggressively as a weaker fit can. If you work on older hardware, rusty fasteners, or anything that already looks a little tired, that extra grip can save you from rounding off the head and turning a simple repair into a bigger problem.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThe deep profile is the real functional advantage here. A standard socket works fine until the stud sticks too far through the nut or the fastener sits down in a pocket. This deep socket gives you the reach to get over that extra thread length without switching to a workaround. For automotive work, equipment repair, general shop use, and around-the-house mechanical jobs, that is the difference between getting the job done cleanly and wasting time hunting for a different setup.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eDeWalt also kept the everyday details right. The polished chrome vanadium finish is there for strength and durability, and the chrome exterior helps resist chipping and flaking over time. The knurled control ring gives you a little more grip when you are spinning the socket by hand onto a fastener, especially if your hands are oily or you are working in a tight spot where a full ratchet swing is awkward.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eHard-stamped size markings are another small feature that matters more than people think. Sockets get tossed into drawers, trays, pouches, and service carts, and laser-light markings do not always stay easy to read after real use. A clearly marked 9\/16 inch deep socket is faster to grab when you are moving through repetitive service work and do not want to stop and squint at every piece.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThis is an individual socket, not a set piece with extra accessories attached to it. That makes it a good fit for mechanics, maintenance techs, contractors, and serious DIY users filling a missing size in a kit or replacing a socket that sees heavy use. If you already run a 3\/8 inch ratchet system and need a dependable 9\/16 inch deep socket for mechanical fastening, this is the straightforward, no-nonsense choice.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDeWalt DWMT88988OSP 3\/8-In.
