Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly
• General workshop tasks involving 17 mm fasteners
• Heavy-duty industrial applications

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not designed for use with impact wrenches, as high-impact forces may exceed its structural limits. Additionally, it is not suitable for tasks requiring a flexible joint, as this is a rigid, fixed-position tool.

Key specifications

How to use

To use the Proxxon 23362, attach the 1/2" square drive end to a compatible ratchet, torque wrench, or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the bolt or nut head before applying force. Apply steady, even pressure to turn the fastener. Always ensure the tool is aligned correctly with the axis of the bolt to prevent rounding the fastener edges.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing drive tool is compatible with a 1/2" square connection.
• Ensure the 17 mm size matches the specific fasteners you intend to work with.
• Confirm that the 79 mm length provides sufficient clearance for your specific workspace.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the socket after use to remove grease and debris. Store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the metal surface and ensure long-term reliability.
