Description

Key Features

Deep Reach Access

The deep socket body helps you get onto longer studs and recessed fasteners where a standard socket comes up short.

Chrome Vanadium Build

Premium chrome vanadium steel gives this impact socket the strength and durability needed for repeated shop and garage use.

Better Grip by Hand

Knurled beauty rings help reduce hand slippage, which makes it easier to grab, start, and swap the socket when your hands are dirty or oily.

Overview

The DeWalt DWMT74656OSP Mechanics 6-Point 1/2 in. Drive Deep Impact Socket 1-1/16 in. is a single SAE deep impact socket built for driving and removing larger fasteners with a 1/2 in. drive setup. This is a deep impact socket designed for fastening and loosening recessed or extended-stud nuts and bolts. Model Number: DWMT74656OSP.

The key spec here is the combination of a 1/2 in. drive, a 1-1/16 in. socket size, and a 6-point opening. That matters because the 6-point design gives solid contact on the flats of the fastener instead of loading the corners as aggressively as a 12-point socket can. For stubborn hardware, that usually means a more confident fit and less chance of rounding off worn nuts and bolts.

Because this is a deep socket, it is the right choice when a standard-length impact socket will not fully seat over a nut on a long bolt or threaded rod. That makes it a practical piece for automotive work, equipment service, trailer maintenance, and general mechanical fastening where clearance over protruding threads is the difference between getting the job done cleanly and fighting the fastener.

DeWalt lists premium chrome vanadium steel construction for strength and durability. On a socket, that matters less as a talking point and more as day-to-day insurance: it needs to hold up to repeated use, repeated fitment, and the general abuse that happens in a box, on a cart, or under a truck. The knurled beauty rings are another small but useful touch. They give you more grip when starting the socket by hand or pulling it off the anvil after a dirty job.

This DeWalt impact socket is sold as a single-piece socket, so it makes the most sense for the buyer who needs one exact SAE size rather than a full set. If you already have a 1/2 in. impact wrench, ratchet, or breaker bar setup and just need a 1-1/16 in. deep socket for a specific application, that is where this kind of piece earns its keep.

Who should buy it? Anyone doing automotive, fleet, shop, agricultural, or general repair work who needs a dedicated 1-1/16 in. deep socket in a 1/2 in. drive format. It is especially useful for users filling gaps in an existing socket rail instead of buying a complete kit again.

Reach Fasteners a Standard Socket Cannot

When you are working on a nut that sits deep on a stud, the extra socket depth is the whole reason to buy this piece. It lets the socket fully seat where a shallow socket stops early.

• 1-1/16 in. SAE socket size for larger fasteners

DeWalt DWMT74656OSP Does One Job, and It Does It Right

If you need a 1-1/16 in. deep impact socket in a 1/2 in. drive, this is the kind of single-size piece that saves you from buying a whole set just to fill one hole in the drawer.

• Who it’s for: Mechanics, equipment owners, and serious DIY users who already run 1/2 in. drive tools and need a dedicated deep SAE socket for larger fasteners.
• Why it stands out: The deep profile, 6-point fit, and chrome vanadium construction cover the basics that actually matter in day-to-day wrenching.
• Worth knowing: This is a single socket, not a set, so it is best for replacing a missing size or adding one specific capacity to your current impact socket lineup.
