Williams Comfort Products JHWTS51669 Socket 17MM

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWTS51669 is a metric salvage socket designed to remove damaged, rounded, or corroded nuts and bolts. With an overall length of 1 21/32 inches and a 17 MM metric drive size, this socket fits standard ratchets, breaker bars, T-handles, and air or electric impact wrenches. The internal grip geometry bites into the fastener as torque increases, so the more turning force applied, the more secure the engagement. No hammering is required to seat the socket over a damaged fastener. Licensed tradespeople and mechanics working on HVAC equipment, plumbing systems, or automotive and marine components will find this tool effective on studs, pipe nipples, and heavily corroded hardware.

This socket is suited for use in residential and commercial maintenance, service, and repair environments where fasteners have been rounded, stripped, or corroded to the point that standard sockets slip. It can be used on metric and fractional fasteners, making it a versatile addition to a service van or shop. Typical applications include removing frozen bolts on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and marine or automotive hardware where corrosion has compromised the fastener head geometry.

Key Features

• Grip tightens on the fastener as torque increases, preventing slippage on rounded or damaged heads
• Compatible with ratchets, breaker bars, T-handles, and air or electric impact wrenches
• No hammering required to install socket over damaged fastener
• Usable on studs, pipe nipples, corroded auto and marine fasteners, and standard nuts and bolts
• Fits both metric and fractional fasteners for broad service utility

Compatibility

Designed for use on 17 MM metric fasteners including standard nuts, bolts, studs, and pipe nipples. Also compatible with fractional fasteners of equivalent size when fit allows.

Installation Notes

This socket is a hand tool and does not require electrical or gas system shutdown for use, though all appropriate lockout/tagout procedures must be followed when servicing any powered equipment. Seat the socket squarely over the damaged fastener before applying torque to avoid further fastener damage. When using with an impact wrench, begin at a lower torque setting and increase as needed. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with corroded or damaged hardware.
