SOCKET 3/8" DR 17/32" 12 POINT - Stanley Proto Industrial Tools

The Stanley Proto J5217 3/8" Drive 17/32" 12 Point Socket is engineered for professional technicians and mechanics seeking reliable performance in demanding environments. This professional-grade socket, manufactured in the USA, is designed to enhance productivity and prevent fastener damage, making it an essential addition to any toolkit. Its specialized construction addresses common challenges encountered with stubborn, worn, or soft fasteners.

Key Features

• TorquePlus™ Design: Features a radius-corner design that engages the flats of the fastener, not the corners, to minimize slippage and reduce the risk of rounding, thereby extending fastener life.
• 12-Point Configuration: Offers increased contact points for easier alignment and quicker engagement on fasteners, especially beneficial in confined or hard-to-reach work areas.
• Durable Alloy Steel Construction: Crafted from high-quality alloy steel for superior strength and longevity under rigorous professional use.
• Full Polished Chrome Finish: Provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring durability and easy cleaning in various work conditions.
• Optimal Fit for Specific Fasteners: The 17/32" size fills the critical gap between common 1/2" and 9/16" sizes, ensuring a precise fit to prevent stripping on "in-between" fasteners.
• Meets Industry Standards: Manufactured to meet ASME B107.110-2012 and SAE AS4984A standards, assuring professional-grade quality and performance.

Applications

This versatile socket is ideally suited for a broad range of professional applications, including automotive repair, heavy machinery maintenance, and general industrial tasks. It is particularly effective for turning stubborn, damaged, or rusted fasteners where ordinary sockets might slip. The 12-point design allows for better access in tight engine compartments and other constrained spaces, common in vehicle maintenance, for instance on Subaru brake calipers. It also performs exceptionally well on fasteners made from softer materials, preventing deformation or "chewing up" during tightening or loosening.
