Key Features
Overview
The DeWalt DWMT86519OSP Mechanics 6 Point 1/2 Inch Drive Socket 19 MM is a single metric socket made for fastening and loosening 19 mm hardware. This is a socket designed for mechanical fastening with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or similar hand tool. Model Number: DWMT86519OSP. If you need a straightforward metric socket for regular shop use, this is the size-specific piece you keep within easy reach.
The 6-point design matters because it gives the socket a more secure hold on the flats of the fastener compared to a general-purpose multi-point style. That is especially useful when you’re leaning on stuck bolts or working with hardware that has already seen some wear. For anyone building out a mechanic’s socket setup one size at a time, a dedicated 19 mm 6-point socket is a staple.
DeWalt builds this socket from premium chrome vanadium steel, which is the right material choice for strength and long-term durability in a hand tool application. It is meant to take repeated use in a toolbox, service cart, or garage drawer without feeling disposable. This is not a gimmick piece or an oversized kit filler. It is a single working socket for a common metric fastener size.
One practical detail here is the knurled beauty ring. That texture helps reduce hand slippage when you’re pulling the socket from a tray, swapping sizes at the ratchet, or working with greasy hands. It is a simple feature, but the kind of thing you notice when you’re actually using the tool instead of just reading the spec sheet.
This DeWalt socket uses a 1/2 inch drive interface, so it fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and related drive tools. The socket size is marked in millimeters, and this specific version is 19 mm, which makes it a direct fit for metric applications where you want the correct size instead of making do with a close SAE option.
Who should buy it? Mechanics, automotive DIYers, equipment owners, and tradespeople who want to replace a missing socket or round out a metric socket collection with a common working size. If you already have a 1/2 inch drive setup and need a durable 19 mm socket with a 6-point opening, this is the no-nonsense pick.

Pro Tip
A 19 mm socket is close enough to a few nearby sizes that people sometimes force a near match. Don’t. If the fastener is metric, use the exact 19 mm socket and the 6-point opening will do a much better job protecting the corners under load.
