Mercedes Flower Head Socket

This 1/2 inch drive 17mm socket is engineered exclusively for the special flower-head lug nuts found on Mercedes-Benz vehicles from 2007 onward. It fits CL-Class, GL-Class, GLK-Class, GLS-Class, ML-Class, S-Class and Maybach models equipped with 17mm convex bolts. The tool is not compatible with standard hex or locking lug nuts. It serves professional technicians and owners performing wheel maintenance on these specific applications.

Installation and Common Issues

The socket accepts hand ratchets, electric drivers or air impact tools for straightforward wheel removal. Its profile prevents damage to the wheel nut protection jacket during use. Problems arise when the socket is forced onto standard hex nuts or locking lug nuts, which it does not fit. Users must verify their vehicle uses the correct flower-head pattern before ordering to avoid fitment errors.

Capacity and Headroom

Constructed from SCM 440 steel with phosphate manganese treatment, the socket withstands the torque required for Mercedes wheel bolts. It comfortably handles repeated removal and installation cycles on the listed 2007-plus models. The single 17mm size limits its use to vehicles with that specific bolt specification; it cannot service other diameters or nut profiles.

Material and Durability

The SCM 440 alloy with phosphate manganese finish resists wear and corrosion under heavy workshop use. This construction supports high-torque applications without rounding the flower-head profile. The coating extends service life in environments where moisture and road salt are present. The tool has no moving parts or consumable components that require replacement.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the socket is engaging the flower-head lug nuts correctly after setup?

The socket seats fully on the 17 mm convex flower-head nuts without rounding the protective jacket; a clean, solid fit and smooth rotation with a 1/2 inch drive tool shows it is working as intended.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a drive tool separately?

The package contains the single 1/2 inch drive 17 mm flower-head socket; a 1/2 inch ratchet, breaker bar or impact gun is not included and must be supplied by the user.

Which version of this socket should I choose for my 2007 Mercedes S-Class?

This is the only version offered — a 17 mm convex flower-head socket made from SCM 440 with phosphate manganese treatment — and it fits 2007+ CL, GL, GLK, GLS, ML, S-Class and Maybach models with that lug pattern.
