Crescent CDDS31N Deep Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 3/4 in 6-pt

Product Description

The CRESCENT CDDS31N is a 6-point deep hand socket designed for fastener access in confined or recessed applications. Built from alloy steel with a nickel chrome plated finish, it accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits a 3/4 inch SAE fastener. The overall length measures 2.5 inches, providing the added reach needed to seat fully on deep-set bolts, nuts, and studs. The 6-point contact geometry reduces the risk of rounding fasteners under torque. Meets ASME B107.1-2002 standards. This socket is tether-capable, making it suitable for use in environments where dropped-tool protocols are in place, such as elevated work platforms or confined mechanical spaces.

This socket is well-suited for residential and commercial service work across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades. Technicians use deep sockets like this when standard-depth sockets cannot fully engage a fastener due to bolt protrusion or recessed mounting hardware. It is appropriate for hand-tool use with ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches accepting a 3/8 inch drive. The polished nickel chrome finish resists corrosion in shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 6-point hex drive design reduces fastener rounding under load
• Deep length at 2.5 inches overall for access to recessed or protruding fasteners
• Alloy steel construction for durability under rated torque loads
• Nickel chrome plated finish resists corrosion and aids cleaning
• Tether-capable design supports dropped-tool prevention programs
• Meets ASME B107.1-2002 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits 3/4 inch SAE hex fasteners in deep or recessed applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified technician using properly rated drive tools. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Disconnect power, relieve system pressure, or shut off fluid supply as required by the application before beginning work. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damaged.
