Deep Socket 17mm 1/2in Drive 72mm CrMo for Strut Channel Fixings

A 17mm deep socket made for strut channel fixings where standard sockets do not give enough reach. The deep pattern and 72mm length help it pass over longer studs so you can get onto nuts sitting inside Unistrut type channel more easily. Built in CRMO with a 1/2in drive, it suits regular use with common ratchets and breaker bars.

Used for fitting and maintaining channel support systems, this socket is useful when working on bracket installations, threaded rod assemblies and strut framework where clearance is tight. It helps when nuts are recessed within the channel or when long stud lengths stop a normal socket from seating properly. Suitable for site work, workshop use and general maintenance jobs where strut channel fixings come up regularly.

The 17mm hex size suits common strut channel fixing bolts, while the deep body is there to deal with protruding studs rather than forcing you to swap to a different setup. A 1/2in drive keeps it compatible with standard hand tools already found in most tool kits, and the CRMO construction makes it a practical choice for repeated use without adding unnecessary bulk. For anyone working on channel support fixings on a regular basis, it helps avoid the frustration of poor access around long threaded sections.
