STANLEY STMT72925-8B 3/8" 6PT Standard Socket 17MM - Pan India Ready Stock Supplier

This SKU is supplied as a genuine STANLEY branded socket for professional workshop and MRO procurement requirements across India.

STANLEY STMT72925-8B Application Context & Use Cases

Automotive Workshops

• Removal and tightening of 17MM hex bolts
• Suspension components
• Engine mount bolts
• Wheel-related components (non-heavy commercial)

Industrial Maintenance (MRO)

• Machinery housing fasteners
• Motor mounting bolts
• Structural equipment assemblies

Assembly & Fabrication Units

• Fixture installations
• Medium torque structural joints

This is a standard-depth socket, not intended for deep-recess fasteners.

Selection Guidance – Choosing the Correct Variant

Before procurement, confirm the following:
Drive Compatibility
Ensure the ratchet or torque wrench is 3/8" square drive.
This socket will not fit:

• 1/4" drive
• 1/2" drive

Depth Requirement
If fasteners are recessed or threaded rods extend beyond nut height, a deep socket may be required.
Point Requirement
6PT is preferred for:

• Higher torque applications
• Older fasteners
• Rusted bolts

If frequent angular access is required in tight positions, 12PT may be more flexible but offers lower surface engagement.

Capacity / Real-World Torque Logic

A 3/8" drive socket is generally used for medium torque ranges typically found in automotive and light industrial work.
Practical Example
If tightening a standard M10 bolt (common with 17MM head):

• Typical torque range: 40–60 Nm (depending on grade)
• 3/8" drive system is suitable for this torque band
• 6PT ensures maximum contact across bolt flats

For applications exceeding medium torque levels (e.g., heavy structural tightening), a 1/2" drive system may be more appropriate.

Failure Conditions & Misuse Risks

This socket should not be:

• Used with impact guns unless rated (confirm separately)
• Extended with unauthorized pipe extensions
• Used on damaged or rounded fasteners
• Used beyond ratchet torque rating
• Hammered for forced seating

Misuse may result in:

• Fastener rounding
• Socket wall stress
• Drive square deformation

Always match tool rating to torque requirement.
