SATA GL34505 3/4" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 17mm

A 6‑point design grips the fastener at six contact points, providing a secure hold on hex fasteners. It reduces rounding risk and distributes torque more evenly, making it ideal for high‑torque, heavy‑duty tasks.

Off‑corner loading shifts the contact area away from the sharp corners of the fastener. This helps prevent rounding and distributes load more evenly during high‑torque applications, extending both fastener and socket life.

Key specs: 3/4" drive, 17 mm socket size, 6‑point configuration, designed for impact use, made from high‑strength steel, with clear size markings for quick identification.

It's well suited for automotive work, heavy equipment maintenance, machinery assembly, and any high‑torque task where a robust 3/4" drive 17 mm socket is needed with reliable grip.

Pair it with a compatible 3/4" drive impact tool, ensure the drive and size match (3/4" drive and 17 mm), apply steady, controlled torque, and avoid hammering or forcing the tool onto a damaged fastener.

Check the size markings on the socket, try it on a known 17 mm fastener, and inspect for any signs of wear or rounding. If it can’t fully engage a true 17 mm fastener, don’t force it.

Store it in a protective case or rack, keep it clean and dry to prevent corrosion, inspect for cracks or wear after heavy use, and avoid exposing it to unnecessary impacts or drops.

Consider torque demand, tool compatibility, space constraints, and frequency of high‑torque use. A 3/4" drive is generally more robust for heavy torque and larger fasteners, while smaller drives (like 1/2") suit lighter tasks and tighter spaces.

Yes. Always wear eye protection, use the correct size and drive, inspect sockets and fasteners for damage before use, avoid using damaged or cracked sockets, and never strike the socket with a hammer or use it with non‑impact tools.

Given its 3/4" drive, 17 mm size, 6‑point design, and impact‑rated construction with clear size markings, it’s positioned as a durable, field‑ready option for heavy‑duty work. If you need reliable performance for frequent high‑torque tasks, it offers solid value among Fepy’s heavy‑duty sockets.
