FAQs
What material is the DeWalt 17mm socket made from?
The socket is constructed from high-quality Chrome Vanadium Steel for enhanced strength and durability.
What does '6-point design' mean for this socket?
A 6-point design means the socket has six internal contact points that grip the sides of a fastener, providing a more secure hold than a 12-point socket and reducing the risk of rounding.
What is Direct Torque Technology?
Direct Torque Technology applies force to the sides of the fastener, not the corners, to help prevent rounding off the fastener head during use.
Is this socket suitable for impact wrenches?
While constructed from durable Chrome Vanadium Steel, this socket is primarily intended for hand tool use. For impact applications, it is recommended to use sockets specifically rated for impact use.
What is the drive size of this socket?
This socket features a 1/2 inch drive size, compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.
How does the knurled control ring help?
The knurled control ring around the socket provides an enhanced grip for manual turning or initial tightening/loosening of fasteners by hand, especially in tight spaces.
What is the benefit of the polished Chrome Vanadium finish?
The polished finish offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion, and protects the socket against chipping, extending its lifespan and maintaining its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the fastener.
Ensure you are using the correct socket size (17mm) and that the fastener is not damaged or metric/SAE mismatched.
Difficulty engaging the fastener.
Ensure the socket's chamfered end is properly aligned with the fastener. Check for any obstructions or debris in the socket or on the fastener.
Socket slips during use.
Verify that the 6-point design is fully seated on the fastener. Ensure the drive tool is properly engaged with the socket. Do not overtighten if slippage occurs; inspect the fastener and socket for wear.
Rust or corrosion appears on the socket.
Clean the socket thoroughly with a rust remover appropriate for steel. Dry completely and apply a light coat of oil for protection. Store in a dry place.
