The SK Hand Tool 2317 3/8 In Drive 12 Pt Standard Metric Socket in 17mm is engineered for the demanding needs of professional technicians and mechanics. Crafted from high-alloy US steel and cold forged for maximum strength, this chrome-plated socket provides reliable performance for a variety of hand-tool applications. Its 12-point SureGrip® drive design ensures robust engagement with fasteners, minimizing slippage and preventing rounding.
Key Features
- Professional-Grade Construction: Cold forged from high-alloy US steel for exceptional strength and durability, built to withstand rigorous daily use.
- Enhanced Fastener Engagement: The 12-point SureGrip® drive design grips the sides of fasteners, not the corners, reducing the risk of rounding, especially on rusted or damaged bolts. This design also allows for easier alignment and engagement in confined spaces.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Features SuperKrome® plating, which provides a high-polish, jewelry-like finish that delivers maximum corrosion resistance and extends tool life.
- Hand Tool Specific Design: Optimized for use with 3/8 inch drive hand ratchets and wrenches, providing precise torque control.
- Non-Impact Use: This chrome socket is specifically designed for hand tool applications and is not impact-rated. Using it with impact or power tools can damage the socket and potentially lead to injury.
