Built from alloy steel with a chrome finish, this 17\/32 inch socket accepts a 3\/8 inch square drive and delivers reliable torque transfer on hex and 12-point fasteners. The standard-length design measures 1.125 inches overall, making it a practical choice for accessible fastener locations where depth is not a constraint. It meets ASME B107.1 standards and carries a limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket fits standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians on equipment panels, structural fasteners, and mechanical assemblies. The 17\/32 inch size covers a common imperial fastener dimension found on equipment housings, brackets, and utility hardware. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at 30-degree increments, which is useful in moderately confined spaces where swing arc is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17\/32 inch socket size for imperial fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point profile allows engagement every 30 degrees for use in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch square drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with chrome finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 1.125 inches overall for general-access fastener locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B107.1 socket standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLimited lifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with 3\/8 inch square drive ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches following standard ASME drive geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage or rounding of the fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, particularly after high-torque applications.
