Socket bit (impact) Forsage 17 mm hex, 1/2" drive, length 100 mm

Forsage 17 mm impact socket bit for 1/2" drive, 100 mm length, is an impact-rated hex socket designed for use with impact wrenches and power tools. The six-point internal profile fits hex fasteners and transfers torque efficiently while the extended 100 mm length provides additional reach for recessed or hard-to-access bolts. Constructed for repeated impact use, this socket bit is intended for professional and occasional users working in automotive, construction or maintenance environments.

Advantages

The impact socket bit is manufactured to withstand high torque and shock loads typical of impact tools. Its six-point hex geometry reduces rounding of fastener heads compared to some alternative profiles and improves contact area for secure engagement. The 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of impact wrenches and ratchet adapters. The 100 mm length offers extra reach without sacrificing strength, making it suitable for openings and recessed fasteners.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening 17 mm hex bolts and nuts in automotive repairs
• Assembly and disassembly tasks on machinery and equipment
• Construction and maintenance work where impact tools are used
• Accessing recessed fasteners or bolts in tight spaces

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible interface for impact tools
• Bit profile: 6-point hex, 17 mm nominal size
• Length: 100 mm overall for extended reach
• Intended use: impact-rated for use with impact wrenches and power tools

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or adapter and securely attach the socket bit to the tool. Place the hex profile over the fastener head ensuring full seating to minimize slippage. Apply controlled bursts of torque with the impact tool, allowing the tool to deliver force rather than forcing the socket manually. After use, inspect the socket bit for wear or damage and store it in a dry toolbox to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated tools and avoid using impact sockets with hand-only ratchets intended for non-impact bits. Regularly inspect the hex faces for rounding and replace the bit if visible deformation or cracks appear. For stubborn or corroded fasteners, consider applying penetrating lubricant and using controlled, incremental torque to reduce risk of fastener or tool damage.
