Drive Size: 3/8"
Drive Type: Square Drive
The 17mm 12-point socket is a high-torque essential, specifically engineered to handle the larger fasteners common
in wheel assemblies, chassis work, and heavy-duty engine components. Built with a standard 3/8′ drive, it provides a
versatile and balanced profile that allows you to apply significant leverage without the bulk of a larger drive
system. This makes it a preferred choice for mechanics who need professional-grade strength in a form factor that
still maneuvers easily through complex mechanical layouts.
The 12-point (double-hex) geometry is a standout feature for accessibility. By doubling the available engagement
points, it allows you to fit the socket onto a 17mm bolt with just a 30-degree turn. This is an invaluable benefit
when working in the cramped undercarriages of vehicles or behind suspension struts, where obstacles often restrict
your range of motion. The design ensures you can maintain a steady, productive rhythm even in the most awkward and
confined spaces.
Forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, this socket is built for long-lasting durability. The heat-treated
alloy offers exceptional structural integrity, ensuring the tool remains rigid and reliable under high rotational
stress. To protect against the harsh environment of a professional shop, the tool is finished with a mirror-polished
chrome coating. This finish not only prevents rust and corrosion but also allows for a quick, hassle-free cleanup
after exposure to heavy grease and oil.
Precision-machined internal broaching ensures an exacting fit on all 17mm fasteners. By focusing the grip on the
flat sides of the bolt head rather than the corners, the socket minimizes the risk of rounding off hardware, which
can lead to costly and time-consuming repairs. Whether you are a professional technician or a dedicated DIYer
working on a major overhaul, this 17mm socket delivers the heavy-duty performance and precision you can trust.
