17mm Short Impact Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, 6-Point, Cr-Mo Steel

Overview

This 17mm short impact socket is engineered for confined work areas where standard sockets cannot fit. With a compact 28mm height and precision 6-point geometry, it delivers reliable fastener engagement in extremely tight clearances—engine bays, suspension work, transmission access points, and similar high-constraint environments. The chrome-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) construction provides impact resistance and extended tool life under pneumatic impact wrench operation. Pair this with complementary short sockets across the size range to maximize your shop's capability in restricted-access applications.

Key Features

• Compact 28mm Height – Designed specifically for tight spaces where regular sockets cannot reach
• 6-Point Profile – Precise hex engagement reduces rounding and extends fastener life
• Chrome-Molybdenum Steel – Impact-rated material resists cracking and deformation under pneumatic tool use
• Retaining Pin/Ring Groove – Safety feature prevents socket ejection during operation
• Matte Black Impact Finish – Protective coating enhances durability and reduces corrosion
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive – Standard coupling with universal impact wrenches and ratchets

Business Advantages for Resellers

This socket addresses a genuine market gap: mechanics need short sockets for jobs that cannot be performed with standard tools. Its specialized geometry commands premium positioning in your catalog. Stock it alongside similar short-socket sets to build complete solutions and increase transaction value. The Cr-Mo material ensures fewer replacements, supporting customer loyalty and repeat orders.
