Apex 17MM13 Impact Socket 17mm 6-point Hex Drive Metric

Product Description

The APEX 17MM13 is a 17mm, 6-point hex drive impact socket designed for use with impact wrenches and drive tools in professional trade and industrial applications. Built from alloy steel and processed through a proprietary heat treatment, this socket delivers consistent torque transfer and a tight fit to fasteners. At 1.5 inches overall length, it fits standard-depth fastener applications. The manufacturing process emphasizes tight tolerances and product consistency, reducing fastener rounding under high-torque conditions. Licensed trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and millwrights rely on impact sockets of this type for daily drive-tool work.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where metric fasteners are common. The 17mm size is a frequently encountered dimension on equipment panels, flanges, pipe fittings, and mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work. The standard-length profile keeps it compatible with most impact driver and ratchet setups without requiring extensions in typical access scenarios. Sold as a single socket per package.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and service socket for use with hex drive impact tools accepting standard metric impact socket sets.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be used with impact-rated drive tools, never with chrome hand-ratchet tools not rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is present. Ensure the drive tool is powered down or depressurized before changing sockets. Follow applicable workplace safety codes and manufacturer guidelines for torque tool operation.
