Description
Professional 17mm Deep Impact Socket
1/2" Drive | Chrome Molybdenum Steel | Heavy-Duty Performance
Engineered for professionals who demand precision and durability, this 17mm deep impact socket delivers exceptional performance in the most demanding automotive and industrial applications. Manufactured from premium chrome molybdenum steel and heat-treated for maximum strength, this socket is purpose-built to withstand the extreme torque generated by pneumatic and cordless impact wrenches.
The extended depth design provides superior reach for recessed fasteners, making it the essential tool for alloy wheel work, suspension components, and deep-set automotive bolts. Whether you're running a professional workshop or maintaining a fleet, this socket combines workshop-grade durability with the precision fit demanded by trade professionals.
Engineering & Performance
🔩 Premium Chrome Molybdenum Construction
Forged from high-grade chrome molybdenum alloy steel (Cr-Mo), this socket offers exceptional tensile strength and impact resistance. The material composition ensures minimal wear even under continuous high-torque applications, significantly outlasting standard chrome vanadium alternatives.
⚙️ Deep Profile Design
The extended depth profile provides clearance for threaded studs and recessed fasteners, essential for alloy wheel nuts, suspension work, and engine bay applications. Reaches fasteners that standard-length sockets simply cannot access.
🔧 1/2" Drive Compatibility
Designed for 1/2" square drive impact wrenches, both pneumatic and battery-powered. The precision-machined drive ensures a secure, wobble-free connection that maximizes torque transfer and minimizes wear on your tools.
💎 6-Point Hex Design
The six-point (hex) internal profile grips fasteners on the flats rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and providing superior torque distribution. Ideal for high-torque applications and seized fasteners.
🛡️ Corrosion-Resistant Finish
Protected by a durable black phosphate or manganese phosphate coating that resists corrosion, chemicals, and workshop contaminants. The finish also provides easy identification and a professional appearance.
✅ Precision Manufactured
CNC-machined to exacting tolerances for a precise fit on 17mm fasteners. Laser-etched size markings ensure permanent identification, even after years of heavy use.

Why Choose This Socket?
🏆 Professional Grade Quality
This isn't a DIY-grade socket. It's engineered to the same exacting standards demanded by professional mechanics, fleet workshops, and industrial maintenance teams. The chrome molybdenum construction ensures it will outlast cheaper alternatives by years.
⚡ Impact-Rated Performance
Specifically designed to absorb the shock loads generated by impact wrenches. Standard hand sockets can shatter under impact use—this socket is heat-treated and engineered to handle repeated high-torque impacts without failure.
🎯 Precision Fit
CNC-machined to tight tolerances, ensuring a precise fit on 17mm fasteners. This reduces the risk of rounding bolt heads and provides maximum torque transfer, essential when working with high-value components or seized fasteners.

Professional Usage Tips
Torque Settings: Always refer to manufacturer specifications for correct torque values. Over-torquing can damage fasteners and components, even with professional-grade sockets.
Socket Care: Clean sockets after use, especially when exposed to road salt, brake dust, or industrial contaminants. Store in a dry environment to maximize service life.
Impact Wrench Compatibility: Suitable for use with pneumatic impact wrenches (air-powered) and cordless electric impact wrenches. Not recommended for use with hand ratchets or breaker bars for impact applications.
Safety: Always wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses when using impact tools. Ensure fasteners and sockets are clean and free from debris before use.
