Draper Expert 1/2" Drive Hi Torq Hexagon Impact Socket Metric 1/2" 17mm

The Draper Expert 17mm 1/2" Drive Hi Torq Impact Socket is an essential size for European automotive work and general mechanical maintenance. The 17mm dimension is particularly common on wheel nuts and bolts across many vehicle manufacturers, as well as appearing on suspension components and various under-vehicle fixtures. Engineered with a 6-point hexagon design, this socket maximises contact area with fastener flats, ensuring secure grip and minimising the risk of rounding even under high impact loading.
