Built from heat-treated chromoly steel, this 17mm socket features an extra-thin wall construction that slides into narrow wheel wells and recessed lug nut locations without sacrificing torque capacity. Key Features and Benefits Superior Access in Confined Spaces - Extra-thin wall construction reduces socket diameter while maintaining strength, allowing you to reach fasteners in recessed wheel wells and tight clearance applications where bulky standard sockets fail. Prevents Fastener Damage - 6-point design grips the flat sides of lug nuts and bolts rather than the corners, minimizing rounding and slippage during high-torque removal operations. Long-Lasting Performance - Heat-treated chromoly steel construction withstands repeated impact wrench use while the black phosphate finish resists corrosion from brake dust and road chemicals. Perfect Applications Ideal when you need reliable access for: Aftermarket alloy wheels with minimal lug well clearance. European and Japanese vehicles with recessed fastener designs. Tire service operations requiring precision socket placement. Mobile repair work where access angles are challenging. Performance wheel installations and removals.
