Westward 53YU94 1/2" Drive Deep SAE Socket 1-1/16" 6 Pt
A 1/2" drive deep SAE socket with a 6-point hex opening for secure fastener grip
- Typesocket
- Deep socket reaches recessed fasteners in tight spaces
- Six-point hex grip reduces rounding on stubborn bolts
- Alloy steel construction handles high torque loads
- Full polish finish resists corrosion and wipes clean
- Meets ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional standard
Drive Compatibility
This 1/2-inch drive socket fits standard ratchets and breaker bars used in automotive and industrial maintenance. The deep profile reaches recessed fasteners on engine assemblies, suspension components and heavy equipment. Alloy steel construction meets ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional standards for professional use.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous torque the six-point hex opening distributes force across the flat sides of a 1-1/16-inch SAE fastener, reducing the risk of rounding compared with twelve-point designs. The full-polished finish resists corrosion during repeated exposure to shop fluids and weather.
Upgrade Context
The deep length replaces shallow sockets when bolts extend beyond the socket face, such as on long studs or through-bolted joints. It is not suited for confined spaces where overall length must stay below three inches, nor for drive sizes other than 1/2 inch.

Questions about this item
Does the 6-point 1-1/16" socket generate heat or noise during extended use?
As a hand-operated alloy-steel socket it produces no heat or noise; any warmth comes from the fastener or ratchet, not the tool itself.
What drive tool must I already own to use this 1/2" drive socket?
A 1/2-inch square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench is required; the socket’s female square drive fits that standard interface.
Will this deep 6-point socket engage older 12-point or rounded 1-1/16" fasteners reliably?
The 6-point hex profile grips the flat sides of a 1-1/16" SAE fastener, reducing rounding risk on worn heads compared with 12-point designs.
