Impact Socket Long 1/2" 17 mm Adler ADLER 3513.17D

Adler Impact Socket Long 1/2" 17 mm (model 3513.17D) is a 17 mm long socket designed for use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Constructed for impact applications, this socket provides extended reach to engage recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners while withstanding the high torque and shock loads typical of automotive, industrial and maintenance work. The long design improves access to bolts and nuts set deep within assemblies without requiring additional extensions.

Advantages

The socket is made for impact use, offering reinforced walls and heat-treated steel to resist deformation under repeated high-torque impacts. Its 17 mm profile fits standard hex fasteners precisely to reduce rounding and slipping. The extended length gives better reach to recessed fasteners, reducing the need to disassemble surrounding parts. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools makes it suitable for a wide range of impact wrenches and breaker bars commonly used by professionals and technicians.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening 17 mm bolts and nuts in automotive repair
• Industrial maintenance on machinery with recessed fasteners
• Workshops and service garages using 1/2" impact tools
• Construction and assembly tasks requiring extended reach

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" drive compatibility
• Socket size: 17 mm
• Type: Long impact socket for high-torque applications
• Construction: Heat-treated steel with reinforced impact geometry
• Intended use: For impact wrenches and heavy-duty ratchets

How to use

Select the 17 mm long impact socket and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive impact wrench or ratchet. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. When using an impact wrench, apply steady, controlled bursts rather than continuous full power to avoid over-torquing or damaging the fastener. After use, inspect the socket for wear or cracks and store it in a dry, organized tool set.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated 1/2" drive tools and appropriate safety equipment (eye protection, gloves). Do not use impact sockets on non-impact torque-limited tools where a calibrated torque output is required. Replace the socket if you notice significant wear, rounding, or cracking.
