Socket 1/2" 6-point 17 mm Beta Tools 920A

Beta Tools 920A is a 1/2" drive, 6-point socket sized 17 mm designed for manual tightening and loosening of hexagonal fasteners. Manufactured to fit standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions, this socket is intended for workshop and automotive environments where a reliable connection between tool and fastener is required. The 6-point internal profile provides contact on the flats of nuts and bolts to reduce rounding and ensure efficient torque transfer.

Advantages

The 6-point internal design minimizes slipping and wear on fastener edges while offering solid grip under load. The 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of common hand tools in professional and hobbyist toolkits. Constructed from durable materials suitable for repeated use, the socket is engineered to maintain dimensional accuracy and withstand typical workshop stresses.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair involving 17 mm nuts and bolts
• Workshop assembly and disassembly tasks with 1/2" drive tools
• Use with torque wrenches for controlled tightening to specified torque values

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Internal profile: 6-point (hexagon)
• Socket size: 17 mm across flats
• Intended application: manual hand tool use with ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• Typical use environment: workshop and automotive settings

How to use

Select the 17 mm Beta Tools 920A socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Position the socket squarely over the nut or bolt head, apply steady force through the drive tool, and turn clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value before applying force and follow the torque wrench manufacturer’s instructions to achieve proper tightening without over-torquing.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener for damage or excessive wear before use. For critical torque applications, use the socket with a calibrated torque wrench and avoid using impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Store the socket in a clean, dry toolbox or socket rail to preserve fit and prevent corrosion.
