Dewalt DW2285 Deep Impact Ready Socket 7/16 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT DW2285 is a deep impact-ready socket designed for screw driving applications in demanding trade environments. Built for use with 3/8 inch drive impact tools, this socket accepts a 7/16 inch fastener and delivers the depth needed to reach recessed fasteners in tight assemblies. Its impact-ready construction handles the high-torque output of pneumatic and cordless impact drivers without cracking or deforming. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors rely on impact-ready sockets like this when installing equipment panels, mechanical fasteners, and structural hardware where speed and reliability matter.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial trade work where a 3/8 inch drive impact tool is the standard. Typical applications include fastening hex-head sheet metal screws on HVAC enclosures, securing electrical panel hardware, and driving lag screws during plumbing rough-in. The deep profile accommodates longer fastener shanks that a standard-depth socket would not fully engage, reducing fastener damage and improving drive efficiency on the job.

Key Features

• Impact-ready design handles high-torque output from pneumatic and cordless impact tools
• Deep socket profile engages recessed and long-shank fasteners fully
• 7/16 inch fastener size for hex-head screws and bolts common in mechanical trade work
• 3/8 inch drive connection compatible with standard impact drivers and ratchets
• Sold individually for targeted socket replacement or kit supplementing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive impact tools and ratchets used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive impact tool or ratchet. Verify the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to prevent slippage and fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, as impact-rated sockets subject to repeated high-torque cycles can fatigue over time. This accessory requires no special tools or codes to put into service.
