Built for professional use, it delivers the torque transfer and wall thickness needed to handle high-stress fastener removal and installation without rounding corners or cracking under repeated impact loads. The 6-point geometry grips hex fasteners across flat surfaces rather than corners, reducing fastener damage during high-torque applications. Overall length is 1-3\/32 inches, making it a compact option for tight-clearance work. Mechanics, fleet technicians, and industrial maintenance crews are the primary users of this socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J7217M suits automotive, heavy equipment, and general industrial applications where a 17mm hex fastener is common. Typical use cases include suspension components, drivetrain hardware, and structural bolted assemblies. The 3\/8 inch drive size positions this socket in the mid-range torque category, suitable for fasteners that exceed the practical range of 1\/4 inch drive tooling but do not require the bulk of 1\/2 inch drive setups. It fits standard 3\/8 inch drive impact guns, flex-head ratchets, and breaker bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive accepts standard 3\/8 inch drive impact tools and ratchets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17mm socket size for metric hex fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point drive style reduces fastener rounding under high torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1-3\/32 inch overall length suits confined work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImpact-rated construction handles repeated shock loading from impact wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars requiring a 17mm 6-point metric socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is installed and removed by hand onto any 3\/8 inch drive tool. Ensure the drive detent pin or retaining ring fully seats before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand ratchets under excessive cheater-bar force, as the tool interface may be damaged. Always confirm fastener size before applying torque to avoid fastener or socket damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27110000\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: J7217M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542160539954,"sku":"J7217M","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e7d273695fa810f698cc98f4fa3b9ca7.jpg?v=1785894073","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j7217m-impact-socket-3-8-in-drive-17mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
