SATA GL34212 3/8" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 17mm

Specifications include a 3/8" drive, 17mm size, 6-point configuration, and a chrome molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel construction with a black oxide finish. It’s built for impact use and long-term durability.

The 6-point design provides better contact on hex fasteners, reducing rounding and distributing torque more evenly, which helps prevent damage to both the socket and the fastener during high-torque operations.

Yes. This socket is specifically engineered for impact applications and pairs well with 3/8" drive impact wrenches and drivers for high-torque tasks.

The black oxide finish offers improved corrosion resistance and a rugged appearance, helping to maintain functionality and appearance under challenging work conditions over time.

It excels in automotive repairs, industrial maintenance, and any high-torque fastener work where a secure six-point grip and durable Cr-Mo construction are valuable.

The socket features large markings for easy size identification, so you can quickly confirm it’s 17mm without stopping to inspect the tool.

A 6-point socket generally provides a stronger grip and better torque transfer on hex fasteners, reducing slip and rounding. A 12-point socket offers access in tighter spaces but may distribute torque less evenly on high-torque fasteners.

Always use the correct 3/8" drive impact tool, ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener, avoid using excessive torque, and inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use. Use appropriate extensions and adapters rated for high-torque applications.

Keep it clean and dry after use, store it in a dry toolbox or tray, and inspect for wear or damage regularly. Wipe away any dirt or grease and avoid exposing it to corrosive chemicals that could degrade the finish.
