1/2-Inch Drive 17mm 12-Point Offset Socket Wrench, Chrome-Plated Steel

Brief Overview

This chrome-plated offset socket wrench combines a 17mm 12-point box end with a 1/2-inch square drive in a single, integrated tool. The dual-bend offset stem provides precise access to fasteners in confined spaces where standard sockets cannot reach. Designed for professional mechanics and technicians who need reliable engagement on 17mm hexagonal fasteners without the bulk of carrying separate sockets and drives. Pair this with compatible hex socket bits or complement your kit with additional combination wrenches in related sizes for complete coverage.

Key Features

• 1/2-Inch Drive Connection: Direct compatibility with standard 1/2-inch drive ratchets and breaker bars
• 17mm 12-Point Box Head: Secure engagement on hexagonal fasteners with reduced cam-out risk compared to 6-point designs
• Dual-Offset Stem: Two-point bend geometry allows access to fasteners in tight engine bays, undercarriage work, and confined assembly areas
• One-Piece Molded Construction: Socket head is permanently integrated—no loose parts, no separation under load
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion resistance and professional appearance; easy cleaning and maintenance
• Size Markings: Embossed size designations for quick identification in busy shop environments

Why Resellers Choose This Tool

This offset socket wrench fills a critical gap in mechanic's toolkits. While standard sockets require separate drives and adapters, this integrated design saves time and reduces the number of pieces a technician must carry to the job. The 12-point design increases contact points, minimizing rounding on stubborn or worn fasteners—a key advantage when working on older vehicles or heavily corroded hardware. Chrome plating ensures durability through repeated use and exposure to shop fluids.

For distributors, this tool appeals to both professional shops seeking space-efficient toolkits and individual technicians building specialized collections for difficult access work. The single-piece construction means no warranty issues from loose connections, and the practical offset design generates repeat orders from satisfied end-users.
