Key Features

3/8 in. Drive FitFits standard 3/8 in. drive ratchets, breaker bars and extensions, so this 5/8 in. SAE socket drops straight into the setup you already run.6-Point GripThe 6-point opening bears on the flats of the 5/8 in. fastener instead of the corners, which means a firmer hold and less chance of rounding tight or worn hardware.Compact Standard LengthThe standard-length body keeps the ratchet head low, which helps where side and overhead clearance is tight.Chrome Vanadium SteelChrome vanadium steel construction gives the strength and durability a working socket needs for repeat use.

Overview

The DeWALT DWMT88980OSP 3/8 in. Drive 5/8 in. 6-Point Socket is a single SAE hand socket for turning 5/8 in. hex nuts and bolts. This is a standard-length socket designed for mechanical fastening and removal with a 3/8 in. drive ratchet, breaker bar or extension. Model Number: DWMT88980OSP.

The standard length keeps the socket short and the ratchet close to the work, which is what you want on exposed fasteners in engine bays, equipment frames and other tight spots.

It is made from chrome vanadium steel, the standard material for durable hand sockets that see regular shop and service use.

Best for mechanics, maintenance techs and serious DIYers who need to replace a missing 5/8 in. SAE socket or fill a gap in a 3/8 in. drive set.
