Impact Socket, PRO 66372 (17 mm) — 17 mm impact socket for impact wrench

Impact Socket PRO 66372 (17 mm) is a single 17 mm impact-grade socket designed for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. It is manufactured to meet the demands of high-torque fastening and loosening operations, offering a secure fit on hexagonal nuts and bolts. The socket’s geometry and material selection make it suitable for repetitive use in automotive repair, industrial maintenance, and professional workshop environments.

Advantages

The impact socket is engineered to resist the shock loads produced by impact tools, providing improved fatigue resistance compared with standard hand sockets. Its 17 mm size gives a precise fit that reduces rounding of fasteners and slippage during torque application. Designed for compatibility with common impact wrench drive sizes, the socket balances durability and dimensional accuracy for consistent performance in heavy-duty tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and chassis fastener removal and installation
• Vehicle engine and transmission maintenance requiring impact tools
• Industrial machinery assembly and service where impact-rated accessories are needed
• General workshop and professional repair tasks involving 17 mm hex fasteners

Key specifications

• Socket size: 17 mm
• Type: impact-grade 6-point hex socket
• Intended use: designed for pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• Material characteristics: impact-rated construction for high torque resistance
• Application environments: automotive, industrial maintenance, professional workshops

How to use

Select the 17 mm impact socket and securely attach it to a compatible impact wrench drive. Ensure the drive retention mechanism (pin, ring or detent) is engaged if present. Place the socket fully onto the hexagonal fastener before applying the impact tool. Operate the impact wrench in short bursts as needed, maintaining a stable stance and holding the tool according to the manufacturer’s safety instructions. After use, inspect the socket for deformation or wear and store it in a dry, organized tool set.

Usage recommendations

Use only with tools and accessories rated for impact service. Do not use the socket with hand-only torque if it shows visible damage or rounding. For best results, combine with appropriate impact-rated extensions, adapters, and retention accessories and follow safety guidelines for pneumatic or electric impact tools.
