Impact Socket 3/4" 17mm 6-Point JCB JCB-46517

JCB Impact Socket 3/4" 17mm 6-Point (model JCB-46517) is a 17 mm six-point socket designed for use with 3/4" drive impact wrenches and other high-torque tools. Built for repeated use in demanding environments, this impact socket offers a precise fit on hex fasteners to reduce rounding and ensure efficient torque transfer. The six-point configuration and impact-rated construction make it suitable for professional automotive, construction, and industrial maintenance tasks where secure engagement and durability are required.

Advantages

The six-point design provides maximum contact on fastener flats to minimise slipping and rounding. Impact-rated materials and heat-treated construction increase resistance to deformation and extend service life under heavy torque. The 3/4" drive compatibility allows use with a wide range of impact wrenches, while the 17 mm size covers common metric fasteners in many professional applications. The socket’s compact geometry facilitates access to confined spaces compared with larger or bulkier tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel nut removal on heavy vehicles
• Construction and heavy equipment maintenance
• Industrial assembly and breakdown tasks requiring high torque
• Workshop and field service use with pneumatic or electric impact tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4" (19.05 mm)
• Socket size: 17 mm
• Points: 6-point configuration for hex fasteners
• Intended use: impact-rated socket for use with impact wrenches and torque tools
• Construction: heat-treated alloy steel for impact resistance

How to use

Select the 17 mm 6-point socket and securely attach it to a compatible 3/4" drive impact wrench or adapter. Position the socket squarely onto the fastener head to ensure full contact across the flats before applying power. Use appropriate torque settings for the application and follow the impact tool manufacturer’s operating instructions. Inspect the socket regularly for signs of wear or cracking and replace if damage is detected to maintain safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated accessories and follow safety practices such as wearing eye protection, using the correct socket size, and avoiding excessive side load. For seized or rusted fasteners, apply penetrating lubricant and increase torque gradually to reduce the risk of fastener or socket damage.
