3/8" Drive 17 mm Universal Impact Socket
This 3/8 inch drive universal impact socket fits 17 mm fasteners and rotates 360 degrees for access in tight spaces. It is built from premium Chrome Molybdenum steel with a proprietary heat treatment to withstand high torque from power tools. A manganese phosphate coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard black oxide finishes. The 6-point WaveDrive design grips flats tightly to prevent rounding and increase leverage.
Mechanics needing angled fastener access
Technicians who regularly work around obstructions will benefit from the 360-degree swivel action on this 17 mm socket. It meets ASME B 107.110 standards for professional use. Buyers who only need straight-on access or require a different drive size or fastener size should look at other options. This specific socket addresses the need for combined universal joint and impact strength in one tool.
ASME B 107.110 compliant 6-point WaveDrive
The single specification that decides fit is the ASME B 107.110 compliant 6-point WaveDrive profile on a 17 mm hex opening. This geometry grips fastener flats rather than corners to prevent rounding under high torque. Verify your fastener is 17 mm and your tool has a 3/8 inch square drive before purchasing. The universal joint adds length, so confirm clearance at the work site.

Questions about this item
What drive standard does the 3/8 in universal impact socket use?
The socket uses a 3/8 inch square drive, matching ASME B107.110 for impact tools.
What physical clearance does the 17 mm universal joint need to fit?
The 360 degree swivel head requires enough space for the joint to articulate fully around the fastener.
How is the manganese phosphate coating applied, and what step prevents corrosion?
The coating is factory applied; avoid stripping it with harsh solvents so the corrosion resistance remains intact.
