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

Introducing the Milwaukee 17 mm 3/8 in. drive Metric 6 Point Standard Socket — a trusted, precise tool designed to grip hex fasteners with confidence and reduce rounding under torque. Built for hand-powered use in automotive, bike, and equipment maintenance, this socket is ready to tackle everyday mechanical challenges.

Why this socket stands out

  • Size and drive pairing: 17 mm metric size, 3/8" drive. Compatible with common mid-range ratchets and breaker bars, offering versatile use in tight spaces.
  • 6-point design: Six contact points deliver superior grip on hex-headed fasteners, distributing torque more evenly and helping prevent rounded corners during stubborn removal or installation.
  • Durable construction: Chrome Vanadium Steel provides strength and long life, resisting wear under repeated use.
  • Finish and corrosion resistance: Chrome finish enhances corrosion resistance and cleanup after oily jobs.
  • Length and fit: 3.54 inch length gives adequate reach while maintaining control in confined engine bays or toolbox drawers.
  • Packaging: Carded packaging keeps it organized and easy to display in-store or add to a compact toolkit. Sold as a single socket.
  • Use-case guidance: Not designed for impact drivers. Best used with standard hand ratchets or torque wrenches for precise tightening and removal.

Ideal applications

Perfect for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work with metric fasteners. Use this socket for:

  • Automotive maintenance and repair involving metric fasteners (engines, suspension, brackets)
  • Bicycle components and accessories assembly or repair
  • Lawn and outdoor equipment maintenance where 17 mm bolts are common
  • General machinery and workshop tasks requiring a reliable 17 mm socket on a 3/8" drive

Tips for best results

  • Inspect fasteners before use; if a bolt shows wear, consider replacing both fastener and socket to prevent stripping.
  • Store with other 3/8" drive sockets to keep your toolkit organized and ready for action.
  • When removing a stubborn bolt, apply steady, even pressure rather than quick tugs to maximize grip and reduce slippage.

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.
