Wheel Impact Socket Jonnesway 1/2" 85 mm for Alloy Rims 17 mm S18A4117

Jonnesway impact wheel socket S18A4117 is a 1/2" drive, 85 mm length socket engineered for 17 mm wheel nuts used on alloy rims. The socket is intended for use with impact wrenches and pneumatic or electric drivers, providing a secure fit on nuts while limiting contact with rim surfaces to reduce the risk of cosmetic damage. Its length and drive size make it suitable for wheel studs with recessed nuts and for access where standard short sockets cannot reach.

Advantages

The socket is designed to withstand the torque delivered by impact tools and to maintain socket-to-nut engagement under repeated use. Its 85 mm length enables access to recessed wheel nuts without placing the impact tool body against the rim. The internal contact profile is formed to reduce slipping on 17 mm nuts, and the build quality aims to offer resistance to wear from frequent workshop use.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing 17 mm wheel nuts on alloy rims
• Automotive tire changes and seasonal wheel swaps
• Use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches, air guns, and electric impact drivers
• Workshop and mobile tire service applications

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Socket length: 85 mm
• Nut size: 17 mm
• Designed for use with impact tools (pneumatic or electric)
• Intended for alloy wheel applications to minimise rim contact

How to use

Select the socket and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or adapter. Fit the socket fully onto the 17 mm wheel nut, ensuring correct seating before applying torque. When loosening, apply short bursts from the impact tool to break the nut free; when tightening, control final torque with a torque wrench if a specific clamping value is required. Inspect the socket and nut seating during use to avoid rounded fasteners and replace the socket if excessive wear or deformation occurs.

Usage recommendations

Use this 85 mm impact socket with appropriate 1/2" drive impact tools and follow vehicle manufacturer torque specifications during final tightening. Avoid using damaged or excessively worn sockets; inspect for cracks or distortion before each use. When working on alloy rims, position the tool to minimise contact with the rim surface and consider using protective sleeves or pads on the rim where additional protection is necessary.
