Socket 1/2" Drive 17mm Makita E-25068 Impact Socket

Makita E-25068 is a 17 mm impact socket with a 1/2" drive engineered for use with impact wrenches and compatible pneumatic or electric impact tools. The socket is shaped to provide a secure engagement with 17 mm hex fasteners and to withstand the higher torque and shock loads typical of heavy-duty fastening and loosening operations in automotive, construction, and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The socket is manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel to improve strength and resistance to wear under repeated impact. Its 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of impact wrenches and adapters, while the precise 17 mm bore gives reliable grip on standard metric fasteners. Surface finishing reduces corrosion risk and facilitates cleaning after use.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and suspension fastening and removal
• Construction machinery assembly and maintenance
• Industrial and plant maintenance tasks requiring high torque
• Workshop use with pneumatic or electric impact wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Intended use: impact-rated for high-torque applications
• Material: heat-treated alloy steel
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Select the 17 mm impact socket and attach it to the 1/2" drive of the impact wrench or adapter until it locks. Position the socket squarely on the fastener head to ensure full contact with the hex flats before applying impact force. Operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, using appropriate torque and working speed for the application. After use, remove the socket by disengaging it from the drive and inspect for cracks or rounding before next use.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated 1/2" drive tools and accessories. Avoid using the socket on damaged or rounded fasteners where it may slip. Periodically inspect the socket for wear or deformation, and replace if any damage is detected to maintain safe and effective operation.
