3/8" Drive Shallow Socket 12 Pt 17mm - J.H. Williams

Part #: 31617

3/8-inch Drive: Compatible with standard 3/8-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.
17mm Metric Size: Precisely machined to fit 17mm fasteners, ensuring a snug fit.
12-Point Configuration: Offers increased contact points for secure fastener engagement and allows for easier tool placement in restricted areas.
Shallow Profile: Designed specifically for accessing fasteners in locations with limited vertical clearance.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality steel, providing strength and resistance to wear and tear under demanding use.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Helps protect the socket from rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan.

Ideal for automotive repair and maintenance, including engine work, chassis, and brake systems where 17mm fasteners are present.
Suitable for general industrial assembly and maintenance tasks on machinery and equipment.
Used in plumbing and construction for tightening or loosening metric fasteners.
Essential for DIY enthusiasts working on projects that require precise metric tooling in confined spaces.
Functions effectively with 3/8-inch drive hand tools and impact wrenches (where applicable for non-impact rated sockets).

Secure Fastener Grip: The 12-point design ensures a firm hold on fasteners, minimizing the risk of slipping, rounding bolt heads, or stripping nuts.
Enhanced Accessibility: Its shallow design allows users to reach and operate on fasteners in tight or vertically constrained areas where a standard depth socket would not fit.
Improved Efficiency: Quick and easy engagement from multiple angles speeds up work, reducing time and effort, especially in repetitive tasks.
Long-Lasting Durability: Built to withstand rigorous daily use, this socket offers consistent performance and reliability over an extended period.
Versatile Integration: Easily integrates into any existing 3/8-inch drive toolkit, providing a crucial 17mm shallow socket solution.
