Is there a 17mm socket?

1/2-in Drive 17mm Metric Shallow Impact Socket is engineered and constructed to endure high torque application with impact wrenches. This impact socket is specially designed to engage with the flats of fasteners to prevent rounding so it’s time to turn up the torque and turn tough jobs into easy ones.

What are the 3 standard automotive drive sizes for sockets?

Some of the commonly used SAE sizes are 3/8 in., 5/8 in., and 11/16 in. sockets. Metric sockets: Ideal for working on imported vehicles, metric sockets’ sizes are measured in millimeters.

Are all deep sockets the same length?

Standards of Socket Sets There are many different standards for sockets and whilst they are generally similar, they may set different tolerances, giving an acceptable range of lengths within the same standard. This means one manufacturer’s deep 13mm socket may be slightly longer or shorter than another’s.

How do I find out my drive socket size?

Drive Hole indicates the size of the drive hole (also referred to as the “driver hole” or “square hole”), which determines the torque size of the driver tool you’ll need. For example, you’d use a ½-inch drive socket with a ½-inch drive ratchet. L indicates the overall socket length.

What is a 3/8 drive?

A 3/8″ drive can drive sockets of all sizes. It is big enough to apply quite a lot of force, but not too big to fit into tight spaces. 1/2 inch – 1/2″ sockets are generally used for nuts and bolts from around 10mm and up.

Are deep sockets better?

A deep socket’s greater length also allows them to reach nuts that are out of reach of shallow sockets, especially when they’re used in conjunction with a socket extension bar that extends the reach of the socket.

How deep is a deep socket?

Drive, 6″ Long.

Is a 3/8 socket the same as a 10mm?

8mm = 5/16 inch. 9mm = almost 3/8 inch. 10mm = just over 3/8 inch.

What is the point of deep sockets?

Prevents Fastener Round-Off Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener’s flat sides, rather than its corners.

Should I buy metric or SAE sockets?

Typically, SAE sockets and wrenches are used on American-made cars, as mentioned previously, however, when it comes to working on imported cars (assuming you’re in the USA) you’ll most likely be looking for metric units of measurement.

Do they make extra deep sockets?

Some jobs call for custom/special tools like our Extra Deep Impact Sockets. Threaded rods and bolts in deep spots are reached easily and readily with these extra long sockets. We offer extra deep impact sockets with 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4″ ,1”, 1-1/2”, and #5 spline drives. Prices for 12″ in length and shorter.

Why is there no 16mm wrench?

1911, is there a reason they don’t use any 16MM nuts or bolts? 16mm and 18mm nuts / bolts are most commonly found on American vehicles that converted to metric hardware, and not import vehicles designed with metric hardware. So, you don’t find them in most basic wrench / socket sets.

Do deep sockets need set?

A normal, shallow socket may not even touch the nut before the top of the stud or bolt hits the end of the socket. In this case, a deep socket is necessary to accommodate the long end of the bolt and fit snugly around the nut. Having some deep sockets on hand can be helpful for situations like this.
