17 mm hex socket bit

The Westward 54TN06 is a 1/2 inch drive socket bit with a 17 mm hex tip. It is made from alloy steel with a full polished chrome finish. The extra long socket depth and 5-1/4 inch overall length suit mechanics and technicians reaching deep fasteners.

Six-point grip and ASME standard

The six-point hex profile grips the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the chance of rounding. Conformance to ASME B18.3.2M-1979 confirms the bit meets recognised dimensional and hardness requirements for professional use.

Direct fit on 1/2 inch drive tools

The bit slides onto any standard 1/2 inch square drive ratchet or breaker bar without an adapter. The 3-1/2 inch insert length keeps the working end clear of obstructions, though the extra length can limit access in very tight engine bays.
