Socket 1/2" 17 mm GEKO T00142-17 - 17 mm hexagonal socket, drive 1/2"

GEKO T00142-17 is a 17 mm hexagonal socket with a 1/2" drive designed for fastening and loosening hex fasteners. The single-piece socket fits standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions, offering a precise fit on 17 mm nuts and bolts for automotive, workshop and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The socket provides a snug 17 mm engagement that reduces rounding of fastener heads and allows reliable torque transfer. Its 1/2" drive compatibility makes it suitable for a wide range of hand tools including ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches. Constructed as a single-piece tool, it delivers stable performance under repeated use and simplifies attachment to extensions and adapters.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and tyre work
• Engine and transmission maintenance
• General workshop assembly and disassembly
• Industrial maintenance and equipment servicing

Key specifications

• Socket size: 17 mm hexagonal
• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Construction: single-piece socket
• Designed for standard ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions
• Intended use: fastening and loosening hex nuts and bolts

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench and attach the socket firmly to the square drive. Place the socket onto the 17 mm fastener so the faces fully engage the nut or bolt head, then apply steady turning force in the required direction. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value before applying force. Remove the socket by pulling it straight off the drive or using the release mechanism on quick-release ratchets or extensions if present.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket for visible damage before use and avoid excessive impact loads if the socket is not rated for impact tools. Use the correct drive and socket size to prevent fastener or tool damage, and apply torque within the limits of your wrench and the fastener specifications.
