9/16 in SAE Socket
The Westward 53YR70 is a 3/8 in drive socket with a 9/16 in hex SAE size. It features a 6-point design made from alloy steel with a chrome finish. The tool meets ASME B107.110-2012 standards and is rated for standard hand use only.
Mechanics needing a single 9/16 in socket
This socket suits technicians who require a specific 9/16 in SAE size for hand-tool applications. It is not impact rated, so it should not be used with powered impact drivers. Buyers needing a full socket set or metric sizing should look at other options.
6-point alloy steel construction
The 6-point geometry provides secure engagement on SAE fasteners without rounding corners. Alloy steel construction with chrome finish offers durability for general workshop tasks. The tool handles standard hand torque comfortably but runs out of headroom for high-torque or impact applications.

Questions about this item
What drive-size ratchet or breaker bar do I need for the 3/8 in drive socket?

Will the 6-point 9/16 in opening grip older SAE fasteners without rounding them?
Yes, the 6-point geometry contacts the flats of SAE hex heads and reduces rounding on worn bolts.

The standard is marked on the socket; visual confirmation of the marking shows compliance.
