Wera 8790 HMB Deep 3/8" Drive Hexagon Socket Metric

The Wera 8790 HMB Deep 3/8" Drive Hexagon Socket in 17mm is a commonly used size across automotive and industrial applications, and the 64mm deep profile ensures full fastener engagement even where bolt heads are recessed or threaded shanks are long.

Meeting ISO 2725 part 3 requirements, this socket handles both hand-operated ratchets and machine drives (non-impact) with equal capability. The hexagonal profile accurately engages the bolt head to deliver maximum torque without damage, while the knurled lower end provides positive manual grip — useful when fitting or removing the socket in tight spaces.

The Wera 'Take it easy' colour-coding makes the 17mm easy to identify at a glance.

Features and Benefits:
• 64mm deep length for low-lying and recessed fastener access
• Hexagonal profile for high torque transmission and fastener protection
• 'Take it easy' colour coding for quick size identification
