Meet DeWalt's precision solution for metric fasteners: the 17 mm x 1/2 in. drive Metric 6 Point Deep Socket. Crafted from chrome vanadium steel and finished in polished chrome, it stands up to daily use in the shop, garage, or workstation.
The 6-point design distributes contact area across the corners of hex fasteners, delivering superior grip under heavy torque and helping prevent rounding on stubborn 17 mm bolts.
Designed as a deep socket, it extends beyond standard sockets to reach hex nuts that sit deeper in engine bays, behind exhaust components, or along long studs. The result: fewer tool swaps, faster repairs, and less frustration when access is limited.
Key details at a glance:
- Size: 17 mm; Drive: 1/2 inch
- Material: Chrome Vanadium Steel; Finish: Polished Chrome
- Type: Deep socket; Points: 6
- Packaging: Carded; Includes: 1 socket

Who this is for: meticulous DIYers, professional technicians, and automotive hobbyists who routinely work with metric fasteners in tight spaces. If you’ve ever spent extra time trying to reach a bolt behind tubing or frame members, this 17 mm deep socket helps you cut through the clutter and finish the job with confidence.
Practical tips: pair with a 1/2" drive ratchet and a low-profile extension for maximum access; keep the socket clean and dry after use to preserve the polished chrome finish; store with similar metric sockets to streamline your toolkit.
