Williams Comfort Products BD-618 Deep Socket 9/16 in 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS BD-618 is a 6-point deep socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension. It fits a 9/16 inch fastener and features a 6-point geometry that grips flat sides of the hex rather than corners, reducing fastener rounding under torque. The deep profile allows the socket to seat fully over longer bolts, studs, or recessed fasteners where a standard-depth socket would not reach. This socket is a hand tool used by mechanics, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians across a wide range of service and installation tasks.

The BD-618 is suited for residential and commercial service work where a 9/16 inch fastener must be driven with a 3/8 inch drive tool. The deep socket format is common in equipment panel removal, motor mounting, bracket installation, and piping support work. Technicians who frequently encounter long-thread bolts or stud-mounted hardware will find this profile useful in confined access situations.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to avoid slippage or injury. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and do not use damaged sockets.
