Crafted to deliver superior performance, this 17 mm, 6-point socket from Proto features a full polish chrome finish that not only enhances its durability but also makes it easy to clean. Its innovative TorquePlus configuration incorporates a radius-corner design, effectively shifting contact stress away from the corners of fasteners, which minimizes slippage and prevents rounding. This design is particularly beneficial for tackling stubborn or damaged fasteners and is suitable for use on soft materials, allowing for efficient engagement with fastener flats. Whether you’re working on standard tasks or dealing with worn and rusted fasteners, this socket ensures an extended lifespan for your tools while making repairs smoother and more effective.

Features

• 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 design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners.
• Proto 6 Point Sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials.
• 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.
