This is a \u003cstrong\u003esocket\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003emechanical fastening and removal\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eDWMT86312OSP\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you need a common service size for automotive work, equipment repair, or general shop use, this socket covers that job without taking up extra space in your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003eThe 6-point socket design matters because it gives the tool more direct contact on the flats of the fastener compared to multi-point styles. In real use, that helps when you are breaking loose worn or tight bolts and want a more secure fit. For mechanics and serious DIY users, that is the difference between clean engagement and chewing up hardware that already looks rough.\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003eDeWalt builds this socket from premium chrome vanadium steel, which is the right material for a piece that gets used over and over with hand tools. Strength and durability are the point here. A socket like this needs to hold its shape, resist wear, and stay dependable after repeated cycles on bolts, nuts, and threaded hardware in the garage or on the job.\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003eOne of the more practical details is the knurled beauty ring. That is not just there for looks. It gives you extra grip when your hands are greasy, when you are spinning the socket onto an extension by hand, or when you are fishing it out of a crowded tool box drawer. Small detail, useful payoff.\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003eBecause this is a 3\/8 inch drive socket, it fits naturally into one of the most common ratchet and extension sizes used in automotive and general repair work. That makes it a good everyday shop piece instead of a specialty oddball. Pair it with your existing 3\/8 inch drive setup and it drops right into regular service tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003eThis DeWalt metric socket makes the most sense for mechanics, maintenance techs, tradespeople who keep a service bag, and DIY users who want individual replacement sockets instead of buying another full set. If 17 mm is one of the sizes you reach for often, this is the kind of single socket that earns its place fast.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003c\/details\u003e  \u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e    \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSecure Fit on Metric Fasteners\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e    \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e      \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e        \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e          \u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/toolup.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Dewalt-DWMT86312OSP_01.jpg?crop=center\u0026amp;v=1778983759\" alt=\"DeWalt DWMT86312OSP Mechanics 6 Point 3\/8 Drive Socket 17 MM product view showing the 17 mm socket body and knurled ring for mechanical fastening in shop and garage work\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e        \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e          \u003cp\u003eThis 17 mm socket is built for straightforward mechanical work where clean fit matters.
