In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Designed for the serious DIYer and professional mechanic, the Milwaukee 17 mm x 1/2 in. drive metric 6 point standard socket is built to withstand daily hand-tool use. Forged from chrome vanadium steel with a bright chrome finish, this socket delivers reliable torque transfer and long-lasting wear.

  • Size and drive: 17 mm metric size, 6-point geometry, 1/2 in. drive for compatibility with most common ratchets and torque wrenches.
  • Durable construction: Chrome vanadium steel provides strength and resilience under heavy use; the 6-point design reduces rounding on fasteners and distributes torque more evenly than 12-point sockets.
  • Compact form: 1.25 inch overall length keeps the socket within reach in tight spaces while offering a solid grip on fasteners.
  • Finish and format: Chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean easily; packaged in carded packaging for easy stocking and retail display.
  • Not impact-rated: Intended for standard hand-tool use with hand ratchets and torque wrenches, not for high-impact impact drivers or impacts.
  • One-piece practicality: Sold as a single socket, ideal for adding an essential size to your collection without unnecessary extras.

What problems does this solve?

When you’re working on metric fasteners in automotive, bicycle, lawn equipment, or machinery, the 17 mm size is among the most common. This Milwaukee socket provides a precise fit to prevent slippage, protects fasteners from damage, and speeds up repetitive tasks with robust torque transfer.

Who is it for?

Perfect for professional mechanics, automotive hobbyists, motorcycle and bike enthusiasts, and homeowners who routinely service cars and equipment. If you frequently encounter 17 mm metric fasteners, this socket is a reliable, durable addition to your toolbox.

How it compares to alternatives

For high-torque, impact-driven work, impact-rated sockets are ideal. This standard 6-point socket prioritizes precise contact and smooth torque transfer for typical hand-tool operations. The 6-point design offers superior grip on hexagonal bolts, reducing the risk of rounding compared to some 12-point options.

Care and tips

Keep the chrome finish clean and dry to prevent corrosion. After use, wipe with a clean cloth and store in a dry toolbox. Use with a 1/2 in. drive ratchet or torque wrench, and avoid using with impact tools to preserve the socket’s precision and longevity.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
