Socket 3/8'dr 17mm 12pt Crv

17mm 12-Point Socket Drive Size: 3 / 8 " Drive Type: Square Drive The 17mm 12-point socket is a high-torque essential, specifically engineered to handle the larger fasteners common in wheel assemblies, chassis work, and heavy-duty engine components. Built with a standard 3/8' drive, it provides a versatile and balanced profile that allows you to apply significant leverage without the bulk of a larger drive system. This makes it a preferred choice for mechanics who need professional-grade strength in a form factor that still maneuvers easily through complex mechanical layouts. The 12-point (double-hex) geometry is a standout feature for accessibility. By doubling the available engagement points, it allows you to fit the socket onto a 17mm bolt with just a 30-degree turn. This is an invaluable benefit when working in the cramped undercarriages of vehicles or behind suspension struts, where obstacles often restrict your range of motion. The design ensures you can maintain a steady, productive rhythm even in the most awkward and confined spaces. Forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, this socket is built for long-lasting durability. The heat-treated alloy offers exceptional structural integrity, ensuring the tool remains rigid and reliable under high rotational stress. To protect against the harsh environment of a professional shop, the tool is finished with a mirror-polished chrome coating. This finish not only prevents rust and corrosion but also allows for a quick, hassle-free cleanup after exposure to heavy grease and oil. Precision-machined internal broaching ensures an exacting fit on all 17mm fasteners. By focusing the grip on the flat sides of the bolt head rather than the corners, the socket minimizes the risk of rounding off hardware, which can lead to costly and time-consuming repairs. Whether you are a professional technician or a dedicated DIYer working on a major overhaul, this 17mm socket delivers the heavy-duty performance and precision you can trust.
