Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers corrosion resistance and a clean look that holds up in shop and field use. The standard-length body measures 1.5 inches overall, making it a straightforward fit for most fastener access situations. Manufactured to ASME B107.5 standards, this socket meets the dimensional and performance requirements that licensed mechanics and trade professionals expect from a production-grade hand tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where a 17 mm fastener size is common. The 6-point contact pattern reduces the risk of rounding hex fasteners compared to 12-point designs, making it the preferred choice when working on corroded or high-torque fasteners. It is intended for manual drive use with a standard 1\/2 inch drive handle, ratchet, or torque wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17 mm socket size with 6-point contact for secure fastener engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 1.5 inches overall for general-purpose fastener access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured to ASME B107.5 dimensional and performance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot tether capable — intended for conventional hand-tool use environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style hand socket for use with any standard 1\/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, extension, or torque wrench accepting square drive tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is installed and removed by hand tool professionals across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades wherever 17 mm hex fasteners are encountered. Before use, inspect the socket for cracks or deformation and confirm the drive detent engages fully with the drive tool. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Always ensure fastener and socket sizes match to avoid slippage and fastener damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J5417MH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543000482098,"sku":"J5417MH","price":20.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/33e836fa3db039dcb20cf62b66c7ed27.jpg?v=1785913401","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5417mh-17mm-6-point-1-2-drive-hand-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
