Sealey 1/2" Drive Deep Hexagon WallDrive Socket Metric

The Sealey 17mm 1/2" Drive Deep Hexagon WallDrive Socket is an essential size for automotive professionals and enthusiasts. The 17mm measurement is the standard for wheel nuts on many European vehicles, particularly German and French manufacturers, making this socket indispensable for tyre changes, brake work, and suspension maintenance. Manufactured from cold-forged Chrome Vanadium steel, this socket combines lightweight handling with exceptional strength. The hardening and tempering process ensures it can withstand the high torque demands of wheel nut removal and installation without deformation. The WallDrive® configuration is particularly valuable for wheel work, gripping fasteners on their flat sides to provide superior torque transfer whilst protecting against rounding, even when dealing with corroded or over-torqued wheel nuts. The mirror-polished chrome finish delivers outstanding corrosion resistance and allows for easy cleaning after roadside or workshop use. The knurled ring design ensures confident handling even in wet or oily conditions, whilst the deep hexagon profile allows access to recessed wheel nuts and extended studs common on certain vehicle models.
