17 mm socket head with 1/2" drive from HOGERT, model HT1S732, is a compact hand tool designed for tightening and loosening bolts and nuts of the corresponding size. Constructed to fit standard 1/2" ratchets and extensions, the socket provides reliable torque transfer for workshop, garage and professional maintenance tasks. Its size and drive type make it suitable for use where controlled force and compatibility with common drive tools are required.

Advantages

The socket head is machined to ensure a precise fit on 17 mm fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage. Its 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars, enabling efficient power transmission. The compact design facilitates access in confined spaces while maintaining strength for repeated use. The tool's construction aims to provide consistent performance under typical mechanical and maintenance conditions.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair where 17 mm fasteners are common
• Workshop and garage jobs such as assembly, disassembly and routine servicing
• Mechanical and industrial maintenance tasks requiring a 1/2" drive socket
• Use with torque wrenches, ratchets and extensions for controlled tightening

Key specifications

• Socket size: 17 mm
• Drive type: 1/2" drive
• Form factor: socket head for hexagonal bolts and nuts
• Typical applications: fastening and loosening bolts and nuts of matching size
• Physical attributes: compact length for access in restricted spaces

How to use

Select a 17 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension bar. Place the socket over the fastener squarely to avoid slipping, then apply turning force using the ratchet or wrench. For tightening to a specified torque, use a torque wrench and follow the manufacturer's torque values. When loosening seized fasteners, use steady controlled force and appropriate penetrating lubricant if necessary. After use, clean and store the socket in a dry tool case to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for 1/2" drive and avoid applying impact loads unless the socket is specified for impact use. Match the socket to the correct 17 mm fastener size to reduce damage to the fastener and the tool. Store in a clean, dry environment and inspect for wear or deformation before each use.
