The Grey Pneumatic 1017UM 3/8 Inch Standard Universal Impact Swivel Socket 17mm is an essential tool for professional technicians and mechanics tackling challenging fastening applications in automotive and industrial settings. This robust 17mm universal swivel impact socket delivers critical multi-angle access to fasteners, significantly enhancing efficiency in confined or obstructed work areas. It is designed to provide the flexibility needed for demanding tasks, functioning effectively where straight access is not possible.

Key Features

• Universal Swivel Design: Features a flexible joint that allows the socket head to pivot and rotate up to 30 degrees, providing multi-angle access to fasteners in tight spaces, similar to a wobble socket for increased flexibility.
• Impact-Grade Durability: Constructed from high-strength chrome-molybdenum alloy steel, this socket is engineered to withstand the high torque and impact forces generated by impact wrenches without compromising its integrity.
• GP High Torque Drive System: Designed to transfer pressure from thinner to thicker sections of the socket wall, this system enhances strength and enables up to 20% more torque application compared to standard hex impact sockets, while also reducing the risk of rounding fasteners.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: A durable finish provides enhanced protection against rust and wear, extending the tool's lifespan in various demanding working conditions.
• High-Visibility Size Marking: Includes extra-large, laser-etched size markings for quick and easy identification, improving workflow even in low-light environments.

Applications

This 17mm universal impact swivel socket is an indispensable tool for automotive repair, vehicle maintenance, and heavy equipment servicing. It is particularly useful for tasks involving fastening or loosening nuts and bolts in tight engine compartments, undercarriages, suspension systems, or industrial machinery where straight-on access is not feasible. Mechanics and technicians can utilize this socket for applications requiring angled access, providing the versatility needed to reduce downtime and improve job efficiency.
