SATA GL34410T 1/2'' Drive 6 Point Thin Wall Impact Deep Socket 17mm

Thin-wall means the socket walls are thinner than standard sockets, which allows access to fasteners in tight or recessed areas where regular sockets won’t fit, increasing versatility without sacrificing fit for its size.

Size: 17mm; Drive: 1/2 inch; Configuration: 6-point; Type: Deep socket; Use: Impact-rated; Material: High-strength steel; Special features: Thin-wall design, off-corner loading to reduce fastener rounding.

Yes. This socket is intended for use with impact drivers and is built with impact-resistant steel to withstand the shocks from impact use.

The deep design extends reach to fasteners that are recessed or located deeper within assemblies, making it easier to access bolts or nuts that standard shallow sockets can't reach.

Off-corner loading reduces the risk of rounding fasteners by distributing torque more evenly across corners of the fastener, which helps preserve fastener life during high-torque applications.

It's ideal for automotive work (engine bays, suspension, or tight access areas), machinery maintenance, and any scenario where a 1/2'' drive deep socket is needed to reach deep-set 17mm fasteners in restricted spaces.

For alternatives in Fepy's catalog, you can consider the 19mm thin-wall 1/2'' drive deep socket (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl34412t-1-2-drive-6pt-thin-wall-deep-socket-19mm) for larger fasteners, or a 14mm option (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl34409t-1-2-drive-6pt-thin-wall-deep-socket-14mm) for smaller fasteners. Both maintain the thin-wall, deep-profile benefits for tight spaces and impact use.

SATA offers several sizes in the thin-wall deep-socket lineup to cover common fastener ranges. In addition to 17mm, you might find equivalents at 14mm and 19mm, plus other nearby sizes in the same 1/2'' drive family, depending on the specific product line.

Keep it clean and dry after use, wipe away any oil or debris, and store it in a protective case or tray. Avoid dropping it onto hard surfaces, and use it only with compatible fasteners and impact tools to minimize wear.

Measure the fastener across the flats with a caliper or calipers, or try a set of sizing wrenches from the set to identify the exact 17mm size. Using the correct size helps prevent rounding and ensures proper torque transmission.

If you frequently work in confined spaces and with impact tools, the thin-wall, 6-point design offers improved access, reduced fastener rounding, and durable construction, making it a strong value for pro and DIY automotive, machinery, and industrial applications.
