Socket 12-point 3/4" 17 mm GEKO G14119 — 3/4-inch drive, 17 mm

The GEKO 12-point socket G14119 is a 17 mm hex socket with a 3/4" (three-quarter inch) drive designed for use with compatible 3/4" ratchets, breakers and torque tools. Its 12-point internal profile allows multiple engagement positions and improved access in confined spaces, making it suitable for applications requiring frequent repositioning or where clearance around the fastener is limited. The socket is intended for professional and home workshop use on automotive, industrial and general maintenance tasks where a 17 mm fastener is driven with a 3/4" interface.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry enables easier alignment with fasteners and more contact angles compared with 6-point sockets, reducing the need for repositioning. The 3/4" drive provides a robust connection to high-torque hand tools and power-operated breakers, while the 17 mm size fits common metric fasteners. The design supports use in tighter clearances and offers reliable engagement on bolts and nuts without requiring excessive force to locate the socket.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where 17 mm fasteners are present
• Industrial assembly and disassembly tasks with limited access around fasteners
• Workshop and garage use with 3/4" drive ratchets or impact tools
• Maintenance operations that require multiple engagement positions and quick repositioning

Key specifications

• Socket size: 17 mm
• Drive: 3/4" (three-quarter inch)
• Internal profile: 12-point
• Intended use: compatible with 3/4" drive ratchets, breakers and torque tools
• Application areas: automotive, industrial, workshop maintenance

How to use

Select a compatible 3/4" drive ratchet or breaker and attach the socket to the tool until it locks in place. Position the socket over the 17 mm fastener and apply torque steadily, ensuring the tool and socket remain fully engaged during operation. For high-torque or impact applications, confirm the socket is rated for use with the specific impact or torque tool being used and avoid side loading to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket for wear or damage before use, and keep the drive connection clean to maintain secure engagement. When using with power or impact tools, verify compatibility and appropriate safety settings; when working in confined spaces use the 12-point profile to reduce the need for repositioning.
