Socket Key 1/2" 6-point 12 mm Proline 9017708

Socket Key 1/2" 6-point 12 mm Proline 9017708 is a single 12 mm 6-point socket designed for use with 1/2" drive tools. Made from chrome-vanadium steel, the socket is hardened and tempered to achieve the required hardness and durability. The tool meets and exceeds the strength requirements of DIN 3124 and PN-ISO 1711 and is intended for reliable engagement with hexagonal fasteners in automotive, maintenance and assembly tasks.

Advantages

The 6-point profile provides secure contact with fastener flats to reduce rounding and distribute torque evenly. Edges between the wrenching faces are specially profiled with the PRO-DRIVE system to minimise point loads on bolt heads and protect against excessive wear of flat fastener surfaces. The socket is compact and compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets and extensions for straightforward use in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and maintenance
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment
• General workshop and maintenance tasks requiring a 12 mm 6-point socket

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket profile: 6-point (hex)
• Socket size: 12 mm
• Material: chrome-vanadium steel
• Model / MPN: Proline 9017708

How to use

Select the 12 mm 6-point socket and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or extension. Position the socket fully onto the hexagonal fastener to ensure full engagement of the 6-point profile before applying torque. Use controlled force and avoid excessive impact on fasteners that may be corroded or damaged.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener for damage or corrosion before use. Store the socket dry and clean to prevent corrosion. For high-torque applications consider using a 6-point socket rather than a 12-point design to reduce the risk of rounding fastener corners.
