Apex 80629 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 17 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80629 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 17 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque removal and installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in a tool bag or chest. At 0.15 pounds and 1.488 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket built for everyday use in tight and open access situations alike.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC equipment service, plumbing fixture work, and general mechanical maintenance where a 17 MM fastener size is encountered. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in greasy or dirty environments.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any compatible 1/2 inch drive tool. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque being applied before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact-rated tools with a non-impact-rated socket. Store in a dry location to preserve the chrome finish.
