Impact socket deep 18 mm 1/2" drive DeWalt DT7552

DeWalt Impact socket deep 18 mm 1/2" drive DT7552 is a heavy‑duty deep socket designed for use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches and drivers. The 18 mm size provides a precise fit for metric fasteners while the extended length allows access to recessed nuts and bolts in automotive, industrial maintenance and construction applications. The socket is made for impact use and engineered to withstand the high torque and shock generated by pneumatic and cordless impact tools.

Advantages

The deep design offers extended reach compared with standard sockets, reducing the need for adapters or extensions when working on recessed fasteners. Impact‑rated construction increases durability under repeated high‑torque use, while the 1/2" drive compatibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional impact wrenches and ratchets. The 18 mm profile provides accurate engagement with hex fasteners to minimize rounding and slippage.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel nut removal
• Industrial equipment maintenance and assembly
• Construction fastening where access is recessed or obstructed
• General mechanical and workshop tasks requiring impact‑rated sockets

Key specifications

• Socket size: 18 mm
• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Type: deep impact socket
• Intended use: impact wrench and impact driver compatible
• Material/finish: impact‑rated alloy steel with protective finish
• Application: recessed and hard‑to‑reach fasteners

How to use

Select the 18 mm deep impact socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Position the socket onto the fastener so the hex profile fully engages the nut or bolt head. Operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer's safety and operating instructions, applying controlled bursts of torque as needed. After use, inspect the socket for wear or deformation before storing in a dedicated socket rail or toolbox.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact‑rated drive tools and accessories; do not use impact sockets with hand tools intended for low torque if the socket is damaged. For best results, keep the socket clean and free from debris, and replace it if significant rounding, cracking or deformation is observed.
