How to use

Select an appropriate ratchet or handle with a compatible square drive and attach the 17 mm GEKO socket by pressing it onto the drive until it seats securely. Place the socket over the 17 mm nut or bolt head, ensuring full engagement with the fastener flats. Apply steady manual force with the ratchet or handle to tighten or loosen the fastener.

Combine with the correct drive-size ratchet or breaker bar for intended torque; avoid using impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Keep the socket clean and inspect for wear or cracks before use.
