Proto J75417MP Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 17mm 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J75417MP is a 17mm, 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from alloy steel, it handles the high-torque demands of power impact tools without cracking or rounding. The universal hex drive style and 3.5 inch overall length make it a practical choice for a wide range of fastening tasks. This socket meets ASME B107.2 specifications, confirming dimensional and strength standards expected by trade professionals. It is suited for automotive, mechanical, HVAC equipment service, and general industrial maintenance where impact-rated tooling is required.

This socket is well suited for residential and commercial service applications where 17mm fasteners are common, including equipment mounting hardware, vehicle work, and mechanical assembly. The 6-point contact geometry reduces the risk of fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs, making it a reliable choice when working with worn or tight fasteners. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians performing equipment installation or removal will find this socket fits standard impact tool setups.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use with impact-rated tools only; do not use standard chrome hand-tool sockets with impact wrenches, as they are not rated for impact loads. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and that the retaining pin or ring is engaged before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating impact tools.
