DEWALT 1/2 in. Drive 24 mm 6-Point Deep Impact Socket (DWMT73953OSP)

Key Features

1/2 Inch Drive Built for 1/2 inch square drive tools, so it matches the impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars commonly used for heavier fasteners. Deep Socket Reach The deep socket design gives you extra clearance on longer studs and recessed nuts, which matters when a standard socket comes up short. 6-Point Impact Grip This DeWalt impact socket uses a 6-point opening to engage flat sides of the fastener better, helping reduce rounding under high torque.

Overview

The DeWalt DWMT73953OSP 1/2 in. Drive 24 mm 6-Point Deep Impact Socket is a single deep impact socket made for turning 24 mm fasteners with 1/2 inch drive tools. This is a deep impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal work. Model Number: DWMT73953OSP. If you work on automotive hardware, equipment service, or general mechanical jobs, this is the kind of socket you keep handy for larger metric fasteners that need more reach than a shallow socket can give you.

The big draw here is the combination of a 24 mm size, 6-point opening, and deep socket body. That setup matters because a 6-point socket grips the flats of the fastener more directly than multi-point designs, which is the right move when you’re leaning on an impact wrench or a long-handled ratchet. The deep profile also gives you room over protruding studs and recessed hardware, so you are not fighting for engagement on longer threaded assemblies.

DeWalt built this as an impact socket, which means it is intended for the higher shock loads that come with impact fastening. For real shop and jobsite use, that is the difference between a socket that is just a fit and one that is actually meant for repeated high-torque work. The dark oxide style finish shown on the socket is typical for impact accessories and keeps the tool easy to identify in a drawer, roll cart, or socket rail.

In practical use, this is a straightforward piece that earns its keep by doing one job correctly. A 24 mm deep impact socket is a common size to reach for when you’re working on suspension hardware, machinery fasteners, service work, and larger metric nuts that sit down on threads. It is not trying to be a full set or a multi-fit solution. It is a dedicated single size for users who know exactly what they need and would rather buy the right socket than make the wrong one work.

Compatibility is simple and important here: this socket is made for 1/2 inch square drive tools and accessories. That makes it a natural fit with 1/2 inch impact wrenches, hand ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars that accept standard 1/2 inch drive sockets. If your work is mostly metric fastening and you regularly run into 24 mm hardware, this fills a real gap in a service kit without taking up much room.

Who should buy it? Mechanics, equipment techs, contractors servicing machinery, and serious DIY users who already know they need a 24 mm deep socket in impact-ready form. If you need one dedicated metric impact socket for repeated fastening work, the DeWalt DWMT73953OSP makes sense. If you are trying to build a full socket range from scratch, this is one piece of that system, not a complete kit.

Reach Longer Studs and Recessed Fasteners

A deep socket solves a simple problem: standard sockets run out of room when the fastener sits on a long stud or down in a recess. This one gives you the extra reach needed for service work where clearance matters.

• 24 mm metric socket size for larger nuts and bolts
• Deep socket body for added reach over extended threads

Built for High-Torque Fastening

The 6-point opening is the right choice when you are putting real torque through the socket. It is designed to engage the fastener more securely, which helps when you are dealing with stubborn hardware.

• 6-point socket profile for stronger contact on fastener flats
• Designed as an impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact tools
