Insulated Socket 17mm 1/2in Drive VDE Chrome Vanadium

A 17mm VDE socket with a 1/2in drive, made from chrome vanadium steel and intended for electrical work where insulated hand tools are required. It gives you a single fixed socket size for controlled fastening and removal of 17mm fixings with compatible 1/2in drive tools.

Used by electricians, maintenance engineers and service technicians, this insulated socket is suited to installation, servicing and repair work where the correct socket size is needed on electrical equipment or associated fixings. It is also useful for routine site maintenance, panel work and general fastening jobs where a VDE socket is preferred as part of an insulated tool kit.

The 17mm size makes it a straightforward choice when you already know the fastener size you are working with, helping keep the job simple without reaching for a full set. Its 1/2in drive fitment suits common ratchets, breaker bars and other matching drive tools, while the chrome vanadium steel construction gives it the solid feel expected for regular tool use. The insulated outer finish helps distinguish it from standard sockets in a mixed toolbox, which can be useful when keeping electrical service tools organised and close to hand for repeated work.
