1/2 In Drive 12 Pt Metric Flex Socket - 17mm - SK Hand Tool

The SK Hand Tool 48367 1/2 In Drive 12 Pt Metric Flex Socket offers professional technicians and mechanics a robust solution for accessing and driving 17mm metric fasteners, particularly in confined or angled spaces. Engineered for consistent performance and long-term durability, this flex socket integrates essential features for efficient and reliable operation in demanding work environments.

Key Features

• SureGrip® Hex Design: This patented design engages the side of the fastener rather than the corners, significantly increasing strength and helping to prevent the rounding of rusted or damaged fasteners, a common issue with traditional hex tools.
• High-Polish SuperKrome® Plating: Featuring a high-polish SuperKrome® finish, this socket provides exceptional corrosion resistance, contributing to an extended tool lifespan and maintaining a professional appearance even under demanding shop conditions.
• Flexible Joint: An integrated flex joint allows for enhanced maneuverability, enabling access to fasteners located at various angles or in tight clearance areas, which can improve productivity during intricate work.
• 1/2 Inch Drive: Designed with a 1/2 inch drive, this socket is compatible with standard professional drive tools, including ratchets and breaker bars, providing robust torque transmission for a wide range of applications.
• 12-Point Configuration: The 12-point design offers multiple engagement angles with the fastener, facilitating easier connection in tight spaces and reducing the likelihood of slippage during use.

Applications

This 17mm metric flex socket is suitable for various professional applications in automotive repair and industrial maintenance. It proves particularly effective when working on suspension components, engine bay fasteners, braking systems, and other areas where limited clearance makes a standard socket impractical. Its robust construction supports everyday professional use on vehicles and machinery requiring 17mm metric fasteners.
