17 mm 12-point insulated socket
This 17 mm insulated socket uses a 3/8 inch drive and a 12-point profile for metric fasteners. It is built for electricians and technicians who work on or near live electrical systems. The chrome-vanadium construction with a chrome finish adds corrosion resistance in professional environments.
Installation fits standard 3/8 inch drive tools
The socket engages directly with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench without adapters. The 12-point opening allows engagement at finer angles in tight panels. Users must verify the system is de-energised before work and inspect the insulation for cracks before each use.
Sustained use retains insulation integrity
The insulated coating is designed to maintain its dielectric properties during repeated fastening cycles on live equipment up to its rated voltage. Chrome-vanadium steel resists rounding of the 12-point profile under continuous torque. The Proposition 65 notice indicates regulated chemicals are present in the materials.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 17mm 12-point socket is functioning correctly after setup?
Confirm the 12-point profile engages the fastener cleanly at multiple angles and that the 3/8" drive seats securely in your ratchet without wobble.
What is included with the 17mm insulated socket and what must I purchase separately?
The box contains the single 17mm 12-point insulated socket; a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or torque wrench is sold separately.
Which version of the 17mm insulated socket should I choose for metric fasteners?
Select the 12-point metric version shown here; it fits 17mm fasteners and the 12-point geometry allows finer engagement angles than 6-point alternatives.
