Injector Pipe Socket 17mm Open 12-Point 120mm Long 3/8in Drive

A 17mm injector pipe socket with an open 12-point design and 3/8 drive, used for working on screwed-in injection lines on diesel common rail systems. The slim, extended pattern helps reach fittings where a standard socket or spanner can be awkward to position.

Used for vehicle maintenance and diesel fuel system work, this type of socket is suited to jobs where injector pipe unions need access around the line itself. It is relevant for garage servicing, workshop repairs and more involved home mechanical work on compatible BMW, Opel and Mercedes diesel vehicles, especially where space is limited around the injector pipes.

The open socket design allows the tool to fit over the pipe while still engaging the union, which is the main requirement for this kind of task. Its 12-point profile helps with engagement on the fitting, while the 120mm long body gives added reach into tighter engine bay areas. With a 3/8 drive fitting, it works with common ratchets and extension bars already used in most tool kits. For regular servicing or repair work on diesel injection systems, having the correct socket helps avoid struggling with access and keeps the job more straightforward.
