Socket 1/2" hex long 17 mm, högert technik HT1A267, CrV

Long 17 mm hex socket with a 1/2" drive from högert technik, model HT1A267, manufactured from chrome‑vanadium (CrV) steel. This long hex socket is designed to work with 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches to access recessed or hard‑to‑reach fasteners. The extended length improves reach and leverage while the CrV material and chrome finish provide strength and resistance to wear and corrosion in workshop and field conditions.

Advantages

The 17 mm long hex socket combines extended reach with a standard 1/2" drive interface for compatibility with a wide range of hand tools. Constructed from chrome‑vanadium steel, the socket offers improved durability and torsional strength compared with standard steel. The longer profile reduces the need for disassembly when accessing deep fasteners and the hex configuration ensures secure engagement with hexagonal bolt heads to minimise rounding.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing — reaching recessed nuts and bolts in engine bays and suspension components
• Machinery maintenance — accessing fasteners in gearboxes, housings and assemblies
• General mechanical work — structural and equipment assembly where extra reach is needed
• Workshop and professional use — compatible with 1/2" torque and ratchet tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (compatible with 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches)
• Socket tip size: 17 mm hex
• Material: chrome‑vanadium (CrV) steel
• Profile: long/extended length for recessed fasteners
• Finish: polished/chrome plated for corrosion resistance

How to use

Select the 17 mm long hex socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely onto the hexagonal fastener head, ensuring full engagement before applying torque. For torque‑critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and apply the recommended torque gradually. When working in confined spaces, use steady, controlled force to avoid slipping or rounding of bolt heads.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the socket for signs of wear, deformation or corrosion. Clean and lightly lubricate the drive interface to prevent seizing. Avoid using the socket with impact tools unless it is specifically rated for impact use; for impact applications, choose sockets explicitly designed for that purpose. Store in a dry toolbox or socket rail to maintain condition and ensure safe, reliable performance.
