Socket Bit Proline 1/2" H17 x 60mm Impact Hex Bit 17mm

Proline 1/2" H17 x 60mm Impact Hex Bit 17mm is a hexagonal socket insert designed for 1/2-inch drive tools and impact applications. With a 17 mm tip and a 60 mm overall length, this impact hex bit provides extended reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners while maintaining durable engagement under high torque. The bit is made for use with impact wrenches, ratchets and compatible socket sets where reliable transfer of power and resistance to wear are needed.

Advantages

The impact hex bit is manufactured to withstand the repeated shock and torque of impact tools, reducing the risk of rounding or slipping on hex fasteners. Its 60 mm length improves accessibility to deep-set bolts and screws, while the 1/2-inch drive interface offers compatibility with a wide range of professional sockets and drive tools. The 17 mm hex profile ensures a secure fit on matching fastener heads and stable torque transmission.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening 17 mm hex bolts and screws in automotive repair
• Working with recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners in machinery and equipment maintenance
• Use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches and heavy-duty ratchets
• Torque-intensive fastening tasks where impact-rated accessories are required

Key specifications

• Tip size: 17 mm hex
• Drive interface: 1/2" (12.7 mm) drive
• Length: 60 mm overall
• Design: impact-rated hex bit for high-torque applications

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive tool and securely insert the impact hex bit into the tool's drive. Place the 17 mm hex tip squarely onto the fastener head to ensure full contact before applying torque. For impact wrench use, set appropriate torque or power settings as required by the fastener and material. After use, inspect the bit for wear or damage and store it in a suitable socket organizer to maintain condition.

Usage recommendations

Use with impact-rated sockets and tools only; avoid use with plain screwdriver handles or low-torque hand tools to prevent damage. Ensure the bit is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to minimize cam-out and wear. Periodically inspect the hex profile for rounding and replace the bit when noticeable wear appears to maintain safe and efficient fastening.
