Socket 17 mm 3/4" 6-point Forsage F-56517

Forsage socket 17 mm for 3/4" drive tools is a single 6-point replacement socket designed for tightening and loosening hex fasteners. Model F-56517 fits standard 17 mm nuts and bolts and is intended for use with compatible 3/4" ratchets, breaker bars and impact wrenches. The 6-point geometry provides a secure grip on fastener flats to reduce rounding and ensure efficient torque transfer during mechanical and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The 6-point configuration concentrates contact on the flats of hex fasteners, improving engagement and minimizing slippage. Built to match the 3/4" drive standard, the socket offers straightforward compatibility with a range of heavy-duty hand tools and service equipment. Its single-size design simplifies tool selection when a dedicated 17 mm solution is required for automotive, industrial or workshop applications.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and wheel or suspension fasteners that require 17 mm sockets
• Industrial maintenance tasks using 3/4" drive ratchets, breaker bars or impact tools
• Workshop and garage tool kits where a durable 6-point 17 mm socket is needed

Key specifications

• Socket size: 17 mm hex
• Drive size compatibility: 3/4" drive tools
• Point configuration: 6-point (hexagon) for improved grip
• Intended use: tightening and loosening hex fasteners

How to use

Select a compatible 3/4" drive ratchet, breaker bar or impact wrench and attach the socket securely to the drive square. Position the 6-point socket onto the hex fastener so the flats are fully engaged, then apply torque evenly to tighten or loosen the fastener. For threaded assemblies, use steady, controlled force and ensure correct direction before applying high torque to avoid damage to fastener heads or the socket.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and avoid excessive force beyond the tool or fastener rating. Inspect the socket and fastener surfaces for wear or damage before use. When using impact tools, ensure the socket is suitable for impact duty and maintain secure retention to the drive tool to prevent accidental disengagement.
