Impact socket, DeWalt 16 mm, 1/2" drive, deep (DT7550)

DeWalt deep impact socket, 16 mm size with 1/2" drive is designed for use with impact wrenches and impact drivers in workshop and automotive environments. The deep profile allows access to recessed nuts and bolts while the 1/2" drive provides compatibility with standard impact ratchets and breakers. Constructed for heavy-duty impact applications, this socket is intended to deliver reliable torque transfer and improved engagement on fasteners.

Advantages

The deep construction reaches fasteners located on long studs or recessed housings and reduces the need for extensions. Engineered for impact use, the socket resists deformation under repeated high-torque cycles and maintains accurate fit on hexagonal nuts and bolts. The 1/2" drive size offers broad compatibility with common impact tools used in automotive repair and industrial maintenance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel removal
• Mechanical and industrial maintenance
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery with recessed or long-stud fasteners
• Use with pneumatic or electric impact wrenches and impact drivers

Key specifications

• Socket size: 16 mm
• Drive type: 1/2" (square drive)
• Profile: deep (extended length)
• Intended use: impact applications (impact-rated socket)
• Material and finish: impact-grade steel with protective coating suitable for workshop environments

How to use

Select the 16 mm deep impact socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" impact wrench, ratchet adapter, or breaker bar. Position the socket fully over the fastener to ensure correct engagement on the hex profile before applying torque. When using pneumatic or electric impact tools, use appropriate torque settings and apply short bursts of power to avoid over-torquing. After use, inspect the socket for wear or damage and store it in a tool organiser to prevent corrosion and impact damage.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated tools and accessories to prevent damage. Avoid using the socket with non-impact hand tools for heavy torque applications, and replace the socket if any cracking, rounding, or excessive wear is observed. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when operating impact tools.
