Proto J07517M Impact Socket 3/4 in Drive 17mm 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J07517M is a 3/4 inch drive, 17mm hex impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in professional trade and industrial environments. Built with a 6-point drive style, it delivers full contact on fastener flats to reduce rounding under impact load. The overall length measures 1-59/64 inches, making it a compact option for confined-space work. Weighing 0.68 pounds, it is a solid, tool-steel-class impact socket intended for use with 3/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and heavy equipment technicians are the primary installers of this socket.

This socket is suited for fastening and removal tasks across automotive, mechanical, and industrial maintenance applications where a 17mm hex fastener is present. Its 6-point geometry is preferred in impact applications because it concentrates force on the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing fastener damage. The compact 1-59/64 inch overall length is practical in assemblies with limited wrench clearance.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch square drive compatible with standard 3/4 inch impact wrenches and ratchets
• 17mm socket size for metric hex fasteners
• 6-point drive style minimizes fastener rounding under impact torque
• 1-59/64 inch overall length suits confined-space fastening
• Rated for impact use — designed to absorb the shock loads of pneumatic and electric impact drivers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for 3/4 inch drive impact tool sets requiring 17mm metric hex socket coverage.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by qualified mechanics, millwrights, or maintenance technicians. Always power down or de-energize the associated equipment and relieve stored mechanical energy before applying impact tools to fasteners. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and that the retaining pin or O-ring is engaged before operation. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets rated below the torque demands of the application.
