Sealey 1/2" Drive Impact Socket Metric for Alloy Wheels

The 17mm variant is one of the most commonly used sizes for European and Asian vehicle alloy wheels, making it an essential addition to any wheel service toolkit. This 1/2" drive impact socket combines robust Chrome Molybdenum construction with intelligent protective features, ensuring you can work efficiently without risking costly damage to expensive alloy wheels. Precision engineered with both external and internal protective sleeves, this socket creates a cushioned barrier between the hardened steel and your customer's alloy wheels and nuts. The 6-point design maximises contact area, reducing stress concentration and the risk of rounding off fasteners – particularly valuable when dealing with corroded or over-torqued wheel nuts. Hardened, tempered and finished with a corrosion-resistant anodised coating, this socket is built to withstand years of professional impact tool use. The colour-coding system allows instant identification in busy workshop environments, whilst the 17mm sizing suits a wide range of popular vehicle makes and models.
