How to select the correct WHEELER-REX extra-deep socket?

To select the correct WHEELER-REX extra-deep socket, match the drive size (1/2 in) to your ratchet or tool, and the socket size (7/8 in) to the fastener head. Ensure the socket is 6-point for hex fasteners and extra-deep for recessed applications. The zinc-plated finish resists rust in industrial environments.
