The Sealey S1217D 17mm deep socket with 1/2" drive is another extremely popular size in automotive applications, particularly for wheel nuts on many modern European vehicles. This 17mm variant is essential for wheel changing on numerous car and light commercial vehicle models, as well as appearing on suspension hardware, brake components, and various chassis assemblies. Manufactured through cold-forging of Chrome Vanadium steel, this socket provides the exceptional strength necessary for the high torque loads associated with wheel nut applications. The deep profile design accommodates recessed wheel nuts common on modern alloy wheels, whilst the WallDrive® socket configuration protects expensive wheel finishes by distributing force evenly and reducing the risk of rounding or damaging the nut. The dual-finish chrome plating delivers outstanding resistance to road salt, brake dust, and environmental corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh conditions. The knurled ring enhances grip security during roadside wheel changes or when working in awkward positions. Hardened and tempered for added strength, this 17mm socket withstands repeated high-torque applications without compromising performance. An absolute must-have for workshops and vehicle owners alike.
