Milwaukee Tool 49-16-1617 Impact Socket 17mm 6-pt

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-16-1617 is a 17mm, 6-point deep impact socket designed for high-torque impact wrench applications in the trades. Built from steel with a black oxide finish, this socket accepts a 9/16-inch hex drive and measures 0.92 inches in overall length. The non-sparking construction makes it suitable for use in environments where ignition risk is a concern. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this socket when breaking loose or driving fasteners with pneumatic or cordless impact tools on the job site.

This socket is a practical fit for residential and commercial service work where a deep 17mm socket is needed to clear bolt protrusion or access recessed fasteners. The 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact loads, which matters when working with corroded or high-torque hardware on mechanical equipment, pipe flanges, equipment panels, and structural connections. Its compact profile and standard deep-socket format fit standard impact tool setups without adapters.

Key Features

• 6-point deep socket design reduces rounding on worn or corroded fasteners under impact
• Non-sparking construction rated for use in environments with ignition or spark risk
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces light glare in the field
• Steel construction withstands repeated high-torque impact wrench cycles
• 9/16-inch hex drive fits standard impact wrench anvils without adapters
• Deep length clears extended bolt threads and recessed fastener locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket compatible with 9/16-inch hex drive impact wrenches and ratchets used in standard trade and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be used with impact-rated tools — never substitute standard chrome hand-tool sockets in pneumatic or cordless impact wrenches. Before use, inspect the socket for cracks, deformation, or wear at the drive square; damaged sockets should be removed from service immediately. Ensure the socket is fully seated and retained on the tool anvil before applying torque. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and tool manufacturer guidelines when operating impact tools in confined or hazardous locations.
