Tekton SIB23217 Impact Bit Socket 1/2 in Drive 17 Mm Hex

Product Description

The TEKTON SIB23217 is a 1/2 inch drive hex impact bit socket designed for driving 17 mm hex fasteners under high-torque conditions. Built from steel with a manganese phosphate finish, this socket resists corrosion and reduces surface glare during use. The bit length measures 1.5 inches with an overall length of 2.95 inches, making it compact enough for tight spaces while still delivering the reach needed for most hex-drive applications. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers use this socket with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns for fastener removal and installation in mechanical, automotive, and industrial settings.

This impact bit socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where 17 mm hex fasteners are common. Typical applications include mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and structural fastening tasks. The 1/2 inch drive size pairs with standard impact wrenches used by mechanics, millwrights, and general tradespeople. The manganese phosphate finish provides a low-reflectance surface that also offers mild corrosion resistance for shop and field environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with impact tooling. Ensure the drive tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. This socket is not insulated and must not be used on energized electrical components.
