1/2-Inch Drive 17mm Hex Bit Socket, 100mm Length

Overview

This 17mm hex bit socket is engineered for professionals who demand precision and durability in fastener work. The extended 100mm length positions it as an essential tool for accessing recessed or deep-set Allen-head fasteners in industrial machinery, automotive assembly, and equipment maintenance. Pair this with other hex socket sizes or complementary hex bit sets to build a complete fastener solution for your workshop.

Key Features

• 17mm Hex Profile: Precision-machined to DIN 911 standards, ensuring exact fit and minimal cam-out
• Extended 100mm Length: Reaches fasteners recessed behind panels, shields, or in confined spaces
• 1/2" Drive Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard impact-rated ratchets, torque wrenches, and socket extensions
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface that withstands repetitive use in demanding environments
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured centerline prevents slippage during manual manipulation
• Engraved Size Marking: Clear 17mm designation for quick identification in high-volume tool storage

Why Resellers Choose This Product

High-Margin Repeat Business:
The 17mm size fills a critical gap in hex socket collections. Customers who own 16mm and 19mm sockets frequently return to purchase the 17mm separately, creating predictable reorder cycles.

Bulk Order Advantage:
Stock this socket across multiple warehouse locations. Its extended length makes it indispensable for industrial maintenance contracts—bulk orders to automotive suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and maintenance firms are common.

Durability Translates to Customer Loyalty:
Unlike cheaper alternatives, this socket resists stripping and maintains precision over thousands of cycles. Customers associate durability with your brand, encouraging them to purchase future tool sets from you.

Application Context

This socket excels in scenarios where standard-length sockets fall short:

• Machinery Assembly: Deep-set Allen-head bolts in pump housings, motor mounts, and gearbox covers
• Automotive Maintenance: Recessed fasteners in engine bays, transmission housings, and suspension components
• Equipment Service: Access to fasteners behind protective shields or in tight engine compartments
• Industrial Maintenance: Repetitive fastening work where speed and precision directly impact labor costs

The 100mm extended length reduces the need for extension bars, streamlining your technician's workflow and reducing potential error points.
