Proto, J5017M, Deep Socket, 3/8 in Drive, 17 mm, 12-Point, Full Polish Chrome

The Proto Deep Socket, designed with a 3/8 inch drive and featuring a 17 mm size, stands out for its TorquePlus configuration, which ensures efficient engagement with fastener flats instead of corners. This innovative design minimizes slippage, reduces the risk of rounding off fasteners, and ultimately extends their life, making it especially useful for stubborn or damaged bolts, as well as those crafted from softer materials. Finished in full polish chrome, the socket is not only durable but also easy to clean and maintain, making it a reliable tool for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts looking for precision and performance in their hand tool collection.

Features

• The TorquePlus design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners.
• Proto 12 Point Sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials.
• The TorquePlus configuration employs a radius-corner design, shifting contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributing contact stresses over a large area of the socket, minimizing slippage.
• The TorquePlus internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners.
