TEKTON 6-point sockets are ideal for working with hex-shaped fasteners. They’re designed to grip the sides and not the corners of the fastener heads, which prevents round-off. Their extended length allows the deep socket to fit over long fasteners and reach into recessed areas. The large, die-stamped markings are permanently impressed into the material and optimized for readability.
- 6-point socket opening provides an ideal, exact fit for hex-shaped fastener heads
- Socket geometry is designed to apply force to flat sides of fasteners and not the corners, preventing round-off
- Deep-length sockets reach into wells and accommodate the excess threads of longer shafts
- Extra-large die-stamped size markings are easy to read and can’t wear off
- Polished, chrome-plated finish easily wipes clean and is highly resistant to corrosion
- Four detent grooves provide a secure connection with the drive tool
- Beveled inner rim of the socket opening helps guide it smoothly onto fasteners

The socket is great! Will buy Tekton again! However, I will never shop at Home Depot again!

Yup it’s a socket. Needed 2” min depth and got it

It’s a socket and works. Not much else to say. Have not owned it long enough to know how the finish will hold up.

Six-point is the way to go unless you want to round off the corners with a twelve-point and then hammer a six-point on later. This socket was a tight fit on the water heater element and remained in the ratchet nicely.

This socket was just what I needed to torque the nut on my trailer hitch ball with a 1″ thread. There is not a practical way to torque to 250 ft-lb without use of a socket. I have always been satisfied with my Tekton tools.
