FACOM Metric Angled Open Back Socket Wrench - 17mm - SK Hand Tool

Part #: 75-17

The SK Hand Tool 75-17 FACOM Metric Angled Open Back Socket Wrench is designed for professional technicians who require precise and unobstructed access in challenging automotive and industrial environments. This 17mm wrench features an intelligent angled open-back design, enabling it to operate effectively over long threaded shafts where conventional sockets cannot reach. Its deep profile significantly enhances accessibility in obstructed or confined working areas.

Key Features

  • Angled Open-Back Design: Facilitates work on fasteners situated on extended threaded rods, studs, or components with long threads, effectively bypassing obstructions.
  • Deep Profile: Provides superior accessibility in confined spaces and around obstructions, ensuring confident and secure engagement with fasteners.
  • FACOM OGV Hex Design: This advanced 6-point opening, equivalent to SK's renowned SureGrip® system, is engineered to maximize torque transmission while minimizing the risk of fastener rounding.
  • Professional-Grade Construction: Built for exceptional durability and reliability, designed to withstand the rigors of daily professional use in demanding workshops and industrial settings.
  • 17mm Metric Size: Ideal for a wide range of common 17mm metric fasteners encountered in automotive, machinery, and various industrial maintenance applications.

Applications

This versatile 17mm angled open-back socket wrench is an essential tool for automotive mechanics tackling jobs like sensor replacement, exhaust manifold work, and spark plug access on certain engines where threads extend beyond the nut. In industrial settings, it excels in maintenance tasks involving threaded rods, adjusting machinery components with extended bolts, or reaching nuts in deep recesses where clearance is a concern. Its design is particularly advantageous when dealing with components that protrude significantly through a nut, requiring clearance a standard socket cannot provide.
