All sockets and box ends of wrenches feature DEWALT^® DirectTorque™ Technology allowing great contact with the flat surface areas of fasteners than standard sockets and box ends. DirectTorque™ also provides great torque to make tightening and loosening easier than standard sockets and box ends. Conventional sockets and box ends damage fasteners by concentrating force on the corners, but DEWALT^® DirectTorque™ Technology spreads force over a larger contact area, reducing rounding and extending fastener life.

Additional tools will be added to the DEWALT^® Mechanic Tools line in late 2017/early 2018.
