Featuring large, permanent size markings and a 6-point design, it ensures a precise fit and prevents fastener damage. Its secure detent grooves and beveled edges guarantee a smooth, locked-in connection with your drive tool, making it a reliable choice for professional and DIY use alike. ## Description Tekton shallow sockets have large, stamped markings that are permanently impressed into the material by a roll-stamp die and are as large as possible while still being readable along the socket's curved surface. The exterior of the socket is chrome-plated to resist corrosion and wipe clean to a mirror finish. The interior is protected against corrosion with chrome plating that is supplemented with a clear coat or painted finish where needed for full coverage. The 6-point socket opening provides an exact fit and maximum contact for hex fasteners. Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener's flat sides, rather than its corners. Four detent grooves provide a secure connection with the retaining ball of a drive tool, and beveled inner rims help guide the socket onto other tools.

Worked with impact wrench just fine. Tekton makes great tools, especially for one off tool and socket needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome tool *by F***N on April 28, 2026* Fantastic and held up to the job and priced right ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality socket *by A***O on January 24, 2026* I needed some extra sockets to keep in my truck so that I would be able to change any tire on my truck or various trailers. These are good quality sockets that will out last me. They lock in place on the Tekton ratchet that I bought to use them with. I bought two deep and one shallow (to use with my chainsaw). They are good functioning tools and look good also. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/204168800-tekton-1-2-inch-drive-x-27-mm-shallow-6](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/204168800-tekton-1-2-inch-drive-x-27-mm-shallow-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
