Built with a standard 3\/8' drive, it provides a\r\n\tversatile and balanced profile that allows you to apply significant leverage without the bulk of a larger drive\r\n\tsystem. This makes it a preferred choice for mechanics who need professional-grade strength in a form factor that\r\n\tstill maneuvers easily through complex mechanical layouts.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe 12-point (double-hex) geometry is a standout feature for accessibility. By doubling the available engagement\r\n\tpoints, it allows you to fit the socket onto a 17mm bolt with just a 30-degree turn. This is an invaluable benefit\r\n\twhen working in the cramped undercarriages of vehicles or behind suspension struts, where obstacles often restrict\r\n\tyour range of motion. The design ensures you can maintain a steady, productive rhythm even in the most awkward and\r\n\tconfined spaces.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tForged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, this socket is built for long-lasting durability. The heat-treated\r\n\talloy offers exceptional structural integrity, ensuring the tool remains rigid and reliable under high rotational\r\n\tstress. To protect against the harsh environment of a professional shop, the tool is finished with a mirror-polished\r\n\tchrome coating. This finish not only prevents rust and corrosion but also allows for a quick, hassle-free cleanup\r\n\tafter exposure to heavy grease and oil.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tPrecision-machined internal broaching ensures an exacting fit on all 17mm fasteners. By focusing the grip on the\r\n\tflat sides of the bolt head rather than the corners, the socket minimizes the risk of rounding off hardware, which\r\n\tcan lead to costly and time-consuming repairs. Whether you are a professional technician or a dedicated DIYer\r\n\tworking on a major overhaul, this 17mm socket delivers the heavy-duty performance and precision you can trust.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eLoosening \u0026amp; fastening of various fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eContractor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eFabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eWoodworking\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eDIY\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vermont","offers":[{"title":"Gauteng \/ Collect \/ Each","offer_id":50280939716845,"sku":"TC85017-Gauteng-Collect-Each","price":30.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gauteng \/ Deliver \/ Each","offer_id":50280939749613,"sku":"TC85017-Gauteng-Deliver-Each","price":27.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2292\/9133\/files\/TC85017-main.jpg?v=1783989773","url":"https:\/\/brickparadise.co.za\/products\/tc85017","provider":"Brick Paradise \u0026 Hardware Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
