Socket wrench 1/2" 17 mm HOGERT HT1A217

The HOGERT Socket wrench 1/2" 17 mm HT1A217 is a single 17 mm socket designed for use with standard 1/2-inch drive ratchets and extensions. It fits hexagonal bolts and nuts of 17 mm across flats and is intended for general workshop, automotive and maintenance work where a reliable, accurately sized socket is needed. The socket's geometry ensures positive engagement with fasteners to reduce slipping and rounding.

Advantages

The socket offers a precise 17 mm fit and a compatible 1/2" drive interface for common ratchets and torque tools. Manufactured with durable alloy steel and a corrosion-resistant finish, it withstands repeated use in workshop and garage environments. Its compact length and standard hex profile allow access to moderately recessed fasteners and make it suitable as a standalone replacement or as part of a toolkit.

Suitable for

• Tightening and loosening 17 mm hex bolts and nuts
• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks
• General workshop and assembly work
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch (compatible with 1/2" ratchets and accessories)
• Socket size: 17 mm (across flats)
• Profile: 6-point (hex) for positive fastener engagement
• Material: heat-treated alloy steel with protective finish
• Length: standard/compact length suitable for moderate access

How to use

Select the 17 mm socket and connect it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Seat the socket fully onto the fastener and apply steady rotational force in the required direction, taking care to maintain alignment to prevent slipping. When using torque-sensitive tasks, set and verify the torque on the driving tool before applying final tightening. After use, clean off dirt and grease and store the socket in a protective case or organizer to prevent corrosion and loss.

Usage recommendations

The socket is suitable for manual and moderate mechanical use; avoid using impact wrenches unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for wear or damage before use and replace if deformation or cracking is visible. When working on critical fasteners, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque specifications.
