The SK Hand Tool 48367 1/2 In Drive 12 Pt Metric Flex Socket provides professional technicians and mechanics with a reliable solution for accessing and driving 17mm metric fasteners in challenging spaces. Engineered for durability and precision, this flex socket is an essential addition to any professional toolkit, ensuring efficient and safe operation.

Key Features

• SureGrip® Hex Design: The patented SureGrip® hex design engages the side of the fastener rather than the corner. This design significantly increases strength and helps prevent the rounding of rusted or damaged fasteners, a common issue with traditional sharp-cornered hex tools.
• High-Polish SuperKrome® Plating: Featuring a high-polish SuperKrome® finish, this socket offers exceptional corrosion resistance, extending the tool's lifespan and maintaining its professional appearance even in demanding shop environments.
• Flexible Joint: The integrated flex joint allows for enhanced maneuverability and access to fasteners located at various angles or in confined areas, improving productivity and reducing strain 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 more engagement angles with the fastener, making it easier to connect in tight spaces and reducing the likelihood of slippage.

Applications

This 17mm metric flex socket is ideal for a variety of professional applications, particularly in automotive repair and industrial maintenance. It is well-suited for working on suspension components, engine bay fasteners, braking systems, and other areas where limited clearance makes a standard socket impractical. Its robust construction makes it suitable for everyday professional use on vehicles and machinery requiring 17mm metric fasteners.
