Milwaukee 17 mm X 3/8 in. drive Metric 6 Point Standard Deep Socket

Take on metric fasteners with confidence using the Milwaukee 17 mm 3/8 in. drive metric 6-point standard deep socket. Crafted from durable chrome vanadium steel and finished in bright chrome, this socket is built to resist wear while reaching bolts tucked behind hoses, brackets, or other components.

Why this 17 mm deep socket stands out

• Precise 17 mm, six-point design—the 6-point geometry engages the flats of hex fasteners more securely, reducing cam-out and preventing rounded corners during stubborn loosening or heavy torquing.
• Deep reach (3.543 inches)—designed to access recessed fasteners and long studs where a shallow socket won’t reach, making it ideal for automotive, machinery, and appliance work.
• 3/8 inch drive compatibility—works with standard ratchets and torque wrenches for everyday maintenance and precise tightening, without the need for adapters.
• Chrome vanadium steel, chrome finish—durable construction that resists wear and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance over time.
• Standard, non-impact rated—built for regular hand tools and professional shop use; not intended for impact drivers or hammer-style impacts.
• Carded packaging—retail-ready packaging that makes it easy to organize, display, and select the right metric socket in busy workspaces.

Designed for real-world use

This metric deep socket is tailored for professionals and DIYers who frequently work with 17 mm fasteners across automotive, bicycle maintenance, home improvement, and industrial equipment. Use it to reach hex bolts tucked behind engine components, behind brake assemblies, or deep within machinery where space is tight. The combination of a precise 17 mm fit and a long reach helps you perform secure torque on fasteners that standard shallow sockets can’t access.
