Wera 8790 HMC Deep 1/2" Drive Hexagon Socket Metric

The Wera 8790 HMC Deep 1/2" Drive Hexagon Socket in 17mm is a heavily used size across automotive and engineering trades, appearing on wheel bolts, suspension components, and a wide variety of structural fixings. The deep design extends reach into recessed locations and over protruding threaded rods where a standard-depth socket would fall short.

Conforming to ISO 2725 part 3 and crafted from matt chromed chrome-vanadium steel, this socket is built for the rigours of professional use. The hexagonal profile delivers precise, high-torque performance whilst being gentler on fastener heads than double hexagon alternatives. The ball intercept ring ensures a positive, rattle-free connection during both manual and machine (non-impact) operation.

Colour-coded with Wera's Take it easy system and knurled at the lower end for a secure grip.

Features and Benefits:
• Deep design reaches obstructed and recessed fasteners with ease
• Hexagonal profile transmits high torque whilst protecting fastener edges
• Ball intercept ring for secure drive engagement
• Knurled lower end for grip in manual applications
• Take it easy colour-coding for fast identification
