Gearwrench 84575N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 17mm 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84575N is a 6-point, 17mm impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it is engineered to absorb the high-torque shock loads that standard chrome sockets cannot handle. The off-corner loading design reduces contact stress on fastener flats, helping to prevent rounding on stubborn or corroded hardware. High-visibility laser-etched size markings and secondary hard-stamped markings allow fast identification in the field without needing to stop and squint at the socket. This socket meets ASME B107.33M standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

The 84575N is a metric impact socket suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial fastener work where a 1/2 inch drive impact tool is in use. Common applications include wheel lug service, suspension work, equipment assembly, and structural fastener installation. The 17mm size covers a wide range of metric fasteners found across passenger vehicles, light trucks, and commercial equipment. It is appropriate for use by automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets are intended for use with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic impact tools and should not be substituted with standard chrome hand-tool sockets in impact applications. Ensure the drive anvil and socket retaining pin or ring are fully engaged before applying load. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. This product is non-insulated and not rated for live electrical work.
