Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers the corrosion resistance and clean look expected in a professional tool kit. The 6-point design contacts the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. At a standard length of 0.984 inches overall, this socket fits tight spaces where deep sockets would bind. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers reach for this socket on metric fastener applications across automotive, HVAC equipment, and mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for general mechanical service work involving 17 mm metric fasteners. Common applications include automotive repairs, HVAC unit servicing, equipment maintenance, and plumbing fixture work where a 3\/8 inch drive tool is the appropriate size. The standard length profile makes it well matched to confined installations where clearance is limited. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.5M standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional trade use. The tether-capable design accommodates tool-tethering systems used in environments where dropped tools are a safety or operational concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction provides strength for high-torque applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 0.984 inches overall suits confined work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTether-capable design supports tool-tethering safety programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ASME B107.5M standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use socket compatible with any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, breaker bar, or extension in standard metric tool sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is installed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians as part of standard hand-tool service work. Before use, confirm the drive square of the ratchet or extension is fully seated and the retention mechanism is engaged. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before applying torque, and remove it from service if wear is visible. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless the socket is rated for impact use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ASME B107.5M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime Replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80385\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEARWRENCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542597959986,"sku":"80385","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f447eabd1a9c1b30bcf2e1fcf647e014.jpg?v=1785903758","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gearwrench-80385-17mm-6-point-hand-socket-3-8-drive","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
