HEROFFIX L-type socket wrench 17mm x 20cm
Need a straightforward, reliable tool that won’t throw a wobbly when space is tight? This HEROFFIX L-type socket wrench is a proper bit of kit — built from chrome vanadium steel with a 17mm six-point socket and a 20cm handle that gives just the right amount of leverage when a nut’s being awkward.
Key features and why they matter
- Six-point hexagon socket: grips the flats, not the corners, so torque is applied where it should be — much less chance of slipping or rounding off.
- Chrome vanadium steel: hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant, so this tool keeps on going rather than frittering out after a few uses.
- L-type 20cm handle: extra reach and leverage for stubborn fasteners, yet compact enough to stash in a toolkit or tool roll.
- Ergonomic anti-slip grip: comfortable to hold and helps stop your hand sliding when things are greasy or wet.
- Compact profile: gets into narrow gaps that larger ratchets or breaker bars simply can’t reach.

Typical uses and handy tips
- Perfect for car and motorcycle maintenance — wheel nuts, caliper bolts or any 17mm fastener where a bit more leverage helps.
- Handy in the garage, at the roadside or tucked away in the shed — doesn’t take up much room in a tool roll.
- If a bolt’s seized, apply penetrating oil and give it time to work. Use slow, steady pressure — don’t be tempted to thump it and risk snapping the head.
- Wondering if it replaces a full socket set? Not really — it won’t beat a ratchet for speed, but it’s brilliant for one-off stubborn nuts and tight spaces.
No faffing about with doubling up spanners: this L-type socket gives a neat, secure fit and the leverage to make life easier. Suited to cars, vans, motorcycles and dirtbikes — a straightforward, dependable bit of kit for anyone who likes to keep things moving.
