Impact Socket Bit 3/4" 17 mm 6-Point — JCB

Impact Socket Bit 3/4" 17 mm 6-Point — JCB is a heavy-duty socket designed for use with 3/4-inch drive impact wrenches and torque tools. The 17 mm size and 6-point profile provide full-face contact with hex fasteners, reducing rounding and improving torque transfer. Constructed for impact applications, this socket bit is intended for repeated fastening and loosening tasks in automotive repair, construction, and industrial maintenance.

Advantages

The 6-point configuration ensures maximum contact with fastener flats to minimize slip and rounding under high torque. Compatibility with a 3/4-inch drive makes it suitable for larger impact wrenches used in heavy-duty applications. Manufactured to withstand impact loads, the socket bit offers durability and reliable performance during repetitive use. Its 17 mm size covers a common metric range of nuts and bolts found in mechanical and industrial equipment.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and suspension work requiring high torque
• Construction site bolting and structural assembly
• Industrial maintenance and repair of machinery
• Heavy equipment servicing where impact tools are used

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4 inch
• Socket size: 17 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: impact applications
• Typical applications: automotive, construction, industrial maintenance

How to use

Select the 17 mm 6-point impact socket and attach it securely to a compatible 3/4-inch drive impact wrench or torque tool. Position the socket squarely on the fastener to ensure full contact with the flats. When loosening, apply short bursts at controlled speed to avoid sudden kickback; when fastening, use appropriate torque settings or a torque-limiting device if precise torque is required. After use, inspect the socket for wear or deformation before storing in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated tools and accessories. Do not use a worn or damaged socket on critical fasteners. For precision fastening, verify torque with a calibrated torque wrench. Store in a protective case away from corrosive environments to maintain service life.
