The DeWalt 17 mm x 1/2 in. drive metric 6‑point deep impact socket is built for heavy‑duty fastening where reliability matters most. Designed to withstand high torque and the demands of impact tools, this socket delivers consistent performance when you’re working on metric fasteners in automotive, industrial, or machinery applications.
-
Forged steel construction for enhanced strength and fatigue resistance under repeated impact loads.
-
Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and a sleek, low‑glare surface that stays durable in tough shop environments.
-
17 mm metric size tailored for common metric fasteners found on modern engines, suspensions, and machinery.
-
6‑point design grips the hex fastener securely, reducing rounding and slippage for persistent torque.
-
Deep impact profile reaches recessed nuts and bolts that standard sockets can’t access—great for engine bays, frame rail work, and crowded assemblies.
-
1/2" drive compatibility with typical impact wrenches and heavy‑duty impact drivers, delivering power where you need it most.
-
Overall length 3‑7/32" strikes a practical balance between reach and access in tight spaces.
-
Nut depth 3/4" and bolt clearance depth 1‑25/32" designed to accommodate deep‑set fasteners and longer bolts without interference.
-
Carded packaging offers secure retail display and convenient single‑item purchase.
-
Single piece per package ensures you’ve got exactly what you need for immediate use.
Who benefits most from this socket? mechanics, diesel technicians, and hobbyists tackling metric fasteners in tight, high‑torque situations. It’s ideal for building, repairing, or servicing engines, transmissions, and heavy equipment where space is at a premium and reliable grip matters more than ever.
Tips for optimal use:
- Pair with a compatible 1/2" drive impact tool to maximize torque delivery and minimize setup time.
- Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding of the hex corners.
- Use in combination with other metric sockets to cover a wide range of fastener sizes encountered in automotive and industrial tasks.
