1/2 in Drive Deep Socket

This Wheeler-Rex 985 is a 1/2 in drive socket sized at 1-7/16 in SAE. It features a 6-point alloy steel construction with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The extra-deep design provides extended bolt clearance for hard-to-reach fasteners. It is a hand-tool accessory intended for general mechanical assembly and repair tasks.

Professional Mechanics and DIY Users

This socket suits technicians who need a single deep-well SAE socket for specific bolt sizes on heavy equipment or automotive work. It is not for buyers seeking a comprehensive socket set covering multiple sizes. It is also unsuitable for anyone requiring impact-rated tools for powered driver applications.

1-7/16 in SAE 6-Point Configuration

The 1-7/16 in 6-point opening is the critical specification that determines fit on the target fastener. The 1/2 in drive square must match the user's existing ratchet or breaker bar. The non-impact rating limits use to hand-driven torque only.

Questions about this item

Does my 1/2 in drive ratchet or breaker bar work with this 985 socket?

Yes — the 985 socket has a 1/2 in square drive, so any standard 1/2 in drive ratchet, breaker bar or extension will engage it directly.

Will the extra-deep 5 in bolt clearance on this 985 socket reach past the longer studs my older shallow sockets could not?

The 5 in bolt clearance lets the socket slide over studs or bolts that protrude up to 5 in, so it reaches many fasteners that stop a shallow socket.

How can I confirm the 985 socket is seated correctly on a 1-7/16 in fastener before applying torque?

The 6-point opening should sit flush on all six flats of the fastener with no rocking; a visual check that the socket wall contacts each flat confirms full engagement.
