Key Features

6-Point Grip

The 6-point opening is built to grab flats of the fastener instead of riding the corners. That matters when you are working on worn or tight hardware and want less chance of rounding it off.

1/4 Inch Drive Fit

This DEWALT socket is sized for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions, making it a good match for lighter fastening work where compact access matters more than brute force.

Chrome Vanadium Build

Chrome vanadium steel gives the socket the strength needed for regular shop and garage use, while the polished finish helps resist chipping and flaking over time.

Overview

The DEWALT DWMT86108OSP 6 Point 1/4 in. Drive Socket 11mm is a single metric hand socket built for fastening and removal work on 11 mm hardware. This is a socket designed for turning 11 mm fasteners with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension. Model Number: DWMT86108OSP. If you need a compact socket for automotive service, equipment maintenance, or general mechanic work, this one is aimed at the jobs where solid fastener contact matters.

The big reason to choose this socket over a generic option is the 6-point design with DEWALT DirectTorque technology. In practical terms, that means better contact on the flats of the fastener and less tendency to slip on corners. On bolts that are already a little tired, that difference matters. It gives you a better shot at breaking hardware loose without chewing it up.

The 1/4 inch drive size keeps this socket in the compact, detail-work category. That makes it a better fit for lighter duty assembly, trim hardware, small engine work, interior automotive work, and other jobs where space is tight and a larger ratchet would just get in the way. If you work out of a mechanic’s drawer or a service cart, this is the kind of size that gets used often.

Material matters on hand sockets, and DEWALT uses chrome vanadium steel here for strength and durability. The polished chrome finish is there for more than looks. It helps protect against chipping and flaking, and it is easier to wipe clean when the socket has been in grease, dust, or general shop grime. Hard-stamped markings also help the size stay readable after repeated use instead of fading out quickly.

DEWALT also adds a knurled control ring, which is one of those small details you notice when your hands are oily or when you are swapping sockets quickly. It gives you a little more grip when pulling the socket from a tray or guiding it onto an extension. The chamfered open end also helps the socket start onto the fastener more easily, which saves a little time and a little frustration when visibility is not great.

For compatibility, this socket is made for standard 1/4 inch square drive tools. That includes common ratchets, extensions, and similar hand-drive accessories in the same size. Because it is an individual 11 mm socket, it makes the most sense for anyone replacing a lost size from a set, filling a gap in a mechanic’s drawer, or building a custom socket lineup around the sizes they actually use.

Who should buy it? Anyone who wants a straightforward metric socket from a known brand and cares more about clean fit and long-term readability than gimmicks. It makes sense for mechanics, technicians, maintenance crews, and serious DIY users who want a dedicated 11 mm 1/4 inch drive socket that does the basic job right.
