Apex 17MM35 Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 17mm 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 17MM35 is a 17mm, 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, it delivers greater strength and longer service life compared to standard-grade sockets. The extra-deep, extra-long profile measures 3.25 inches overall length, making it well-suited for fasteners that sit recessed or require clearance past obstructions. Tighter manufacturing tolerances result in a more consistent fit to fasteners, improving torque transfer and reducing rounding. This socket is intended for professional tradespeople who depend on tooling that holds up under sustained impact use.

The APEX 17MM35 fits typical applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work where 17mm metric fasteners are encountered. Extra-deep length is particularly useful on equipment panels, motor mounts, pipe flanges, and structural fasteners that sit deep in a recess or require socket travel over threaded rod. This is a metric socket conforming to ANSI and DIN standards, appropriate for both residential and commercial service work.

Key Features

• Extra-deep, extra-long profile at 3.25 inches overall length for recessed fastener access
• 6-point hex drive geometry for positive engagement and reduced fastener rounding
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for greater strength and extended bit life
• Tighter tolerances for superior product consistency and better torque transfer
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards
• Metric sizing — 17mm socket size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and hand ratchets requiring a 17mm metric, 6-point extra-deep socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with power or hand tools rated for 1/2 inch drive. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, particularly after high-torque impact work. This socket is not insulated and is not rated for live electrical work.
