Socket wrench Proline 1/2" drive 6-point 8 mm model 9017661

Proline 1/2" drive 6-point 8 mm socket wrench model 9017661 is a compact, durable socket designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. Manufactured from chrome-vanadium steel and subjected to controlled hardening and tempering, this 6-point socket delivers reliable engagement with metric fasteners and meets higher durability requirements than DIN 3124 and PN-ISO 1711.

Advantages

The socket is made from chrome-vanadium steel with precise heat treatment for consistent hardness and strength. Its 6-point geometry ensures secure contact with fastener faces to reduce rounding, while the PRO-DRIVE profiled edges between the contact planes minimize point loading and protect both fastener heads and flat edges from premature damage.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Workshop and mechanical service tasks
• General assembly and disassembly where an 8 mm metric socket is required

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque tool, fit the 8 mm 6-point socket onto the fastener, and apply torque in the required direction. Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener before applying load. For torque-critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the specified torque values for the fastener.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with appropriate 1/2" drive tools and avoid applying impact forces unless the socket and tool are rated for such use. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before use and replace if deformation or excessive wear is present.
