Socket wrench insert Hazet 900Z-17 — 17 mm, 1/2" drive

Hazet 900Z-17 is a 17 mm socket insert with a 1/2" drive designed for professional tightening and loosening of nuts and bolts. Manufactured to fit standard 17 mm fasteners, this socket insert is compatible with most 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches, providing a close, secure engagement that reduces rounding and slippage. The geometry and drive size make it suitable for demanding automotive, industrial and workshop applications where a reliable, tool-specific socket is required.

Advantages

The socket insert delivers accurate fitment on 17 mm hex fasteners and consistent torque transfer when used with a 1/2" drive ratchet or torque tool. Its robust construction offers resistance to wear under repeated use and maintains dimensional stability during high-torque operations. The standardized drive interface simplifies combination with a wide range of handles, extensions and adapters, improving workflow efficiency in maintenance and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Industrial assembly and servicing
• General workshop fastening and disassembly
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions

Key specifications

• Socket size: 17 mm
• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Compatible with 6-point hex fasteners
• Intended for use with ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions
• Designed for professional and industrial applications

How to use

Select the 17 mm Hazet socket insert and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Ensure the socket fully engages the fastener head before applying torque. For tightening, apply steady force and follow the torque specification for the fastener and assembly; for loosening, position the ratchet or breaker bar to avoid sudden impacts that could damage the tool or fastener. After use, inspect the socket for wear or deformation and store it in a protective tool organizer.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket insert with tools rated for the required torque to avoid tool or fastener damage. Avoid using damaged sockets and replace inserts that show signs of cracking, rounding or severe wear. When precise torque is required, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque specifications for the application.
