Apex cdds76n Deep Socket 1/2 in Drive 17mm 6 Point

Product Description

The APEX cdds76n is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point deep metric socket designed for professional hand-tool use in trade and industrial applications. Built from Crestoloy alloy steel, this socket delivers the torsional strength required for high-torque fastener work. The 17mm opening and deep well profile allow technicians to reach recessed or stud-mounted fasteners that standard-depth sockets cannot access. A nickel chrome plated finish resists corrosion and wear under regular shop conditions. The off-corner loading geometry reduces contact stress at fastener flats, minimizing the risk of rounding hex heads during removal or installation. It meets or exceeds ASME performance requirements for hand socket tools.

The cdds76n is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where 17mm metric fasteners are common. The deep well depth makes it particularly useful when working around protruding threaded rod, long bolt shanks, or wheel studs. It is compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extensions commonly found in professional service toolkits.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 17mm 6-point deep metric profile for recessed fastener access
• Crestoloy alloy steel construction for high-torque strength
• Nickel chrome plated finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• Off-corner load design reduces fastener rounding during use
• Meets or exceeds ASME hand socket requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits 17mm metric hex fasteners in deep or recessed applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should follow standard hand-tool safety practices. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying torque. Do not use deep sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect for cracks or wear before each use and replace any damaged socket immediately.
