Socket wrench swivel JCB 14×17 mm – double socket, swivel joint

Swivel socket wrench JCB 14×17 mm is a compact double-ended socket tool designed for working with 14 mm and 17 mm fasteners. The tool combines two common metric sizes in a single unit and features a swivel joint that permits angled access in confined spaces where a straight wrench would not fit. Constructed for routine automotive, maintenance and assembly tasks, this double socket with a rotating head enables quick switching between sizes without changing tools.

Advantages

The swivel joint increases accessibility for bolts and nuts located at an angle or inside tight assemblies, reducing the need for extensions or adapters. A double-ended socket configuration saves time by providing two sizes in one tool and minimizes tool changes during repetitive work. Its compact profile and ergonomic shape improve maneuverability in engine bays, machinery housings and furniture fittings while maintaining a stable grip on fasteners.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and routine car maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in workshops
• Maintenance tasks in confined or angled spaces
• On-site service work where tool portability is important

Key specifications

• Socket sizes: 14 mm and 17 mm
• Type: double-ended socket with swivel joint
• Drive style: hand-operated wrench (non-powered)
• Application: metric fasteners
• Form factor: compact, angled-access design

How to use

Select the required end (14 mm or 17 mm) and place the socket over the fastener ensuring full seating on the nut or bolt head. Apply steady hand torque while keeping the swivel joint aligned to the required working angle; the rotating head allows you to approach the fastener from an offset or angled position. For stubborn fasteners, use controlled, incremental force rather than sudden impact. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a dry toolbox to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the swivel socket wrench for hand operations only; avoid power tools or impact drivers unless the product is explicitly rated for such use. Inspect the tool for wear before each use and avoid applying lateral force that could damage the swivel joint or round off fastener corners. Keep the swivel joint lubricated periodically to maintain smooth rotation and prolong service life.
