Gearwrench 80399S-06 3/8 in Drive 6 Point Socket 17MM

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80399S-06 is a 17 MM, 6-point socket with a 3/8 inch drive, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. Designed for speed and durability, the off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded tool tray. At 1.81 inches in length, this is a standard-depth socket suited for everyday fastener work across a range of trades and applications.

This socket is well suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work where a reliable 17 MM fastener interface is required. The 3/8 inch drive is a common choice for mid-range torque applications and pairs with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Technicians working in tight engine bays, mechanical rooms, or equipment access panels will find the standard length practical for most exposed fastener positions.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Compatible with 17 MM hex fasteners in automotive, HVAC, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Confirm the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and replace if the drive square or socket walls show deformation. Do not use impact-rated tools with a non-impact socket; verify the socket rating matches the intended tool. Always de-energize or secure any equipment before accessing fasteners in live mechanical or electrical systems.
