Socket 1/2" 6-point Jonnesway 17 mm long (S04HD4117)

Jonnesway 6-point socket with a 1/2" drive and a 17 mm nominal size, long version. The S04HD4117-style geometry provides a 6-point contact for hex fasteners, offering a more secure engagement that helps reduce rounding on nuts and bolts. The extended length improves access to recessed or obstructed fasteners in automotive, mechanical and maintenance applications while retaining compatibility with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and extensions.

Advantages

The long 6-point design delivers better grip on hex heads compared with 12-point sockets, reducing the risk of slipping and fastener damage. The socket's increased reach enables work in deeper wells and behind obstacles without changing tools. The 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and drive accessories commonly used in professional and home workshops.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs where fasteners are recessed or surrounded by components
• Mechanical assembly and maintenance tasks requiring a firm hex engagement
• General workshop and DIY projects that use 1/2" drive tools
• Tasks where preventing rounding of bolt or nut corners is important

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible interface for ratchets and extensions
• Socket configuration: 6-point (hex) internal profile
• Nominal size: 17 mm working opening
• Form factor: long / extended length for improved access
• Intended use: fastening and loosening hex fasteners in confined spaces

How to use

Select the 17 mm socket when the nut or bolt head matches the nominal size. Attach the socket to a 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or extension as required for reach and torque. Engage the socket squarely on the fastener to ensure full 6-point contact, then apply controlled torque to tighten or loosen. For stuck fasteners, use steady, even force and consider applying penetrating lubricant and using appropriate torque tools to avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

Use this long 6-point socket with correctly rated 1/2" drive tools and avoid excessive impact on sockets not specified for impact use. Inspect sockets for wear before use and replace if deformation or rounding is observed to maintain safe and effective operation.
