  • 21mm
  • 22mm
  • 23mm
  • 24mm
  • 27mm
  • 30mm
  • 32mm
  • 35mm
  • 36mm

  • 41mm
  • 46mm
  • 50mm

The broad selection of larger metric sizes makes this set particularly useful for heavy mechanical, commercial vehicle, engineering and industrial maintenance applications.

Accessories Included

In addition to the 13 metric sockets, the set contains:

  • 150mm extension bar
  • 200mm extension bar
  • Sliding T-bar
  • Ratchet head with handle

Together with the 13 sockets, these components make up the complete 17-piece set.

6-Point / Hexagon Socket Profile

The sockets feature a 6-point hexagon profile designed for positive engagement with conventional hexagonal nuts and bolt heads.

The six-point design closely follows the shape of the fastener and provides secure contact when the correct socket size is selected.

This makes the sockets particularly useful for larger fasteners where positive engagement and effective torque transfer are important.

3/4" Square Drive

The 3/4" square drive format is widely used for larger sockets and heavier mechanical applications.

It provides a substantial step up from smaller 1/2" drive tooling and is particularly useful for larger fasteners encountered in applications such as:

  • Commercial vehicles
  • Trucks and HGVs
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Plant equipment
  • Heavy machinery
  • Industrial equipment
  • Mechanical engineering

The sockets and accessories within the GS-617M share the same 3/4" drive format, providing a versatile heavy-duty hand-tool system.

150mm and 200mm Extension Bars

Two extension bars are included to provide additional reach when accessing recessed or obstructed fasteners.

150mm Extension Bar

Provides additional reach while retaining a relatively compact working configuration.

200mm Extension Bar

Provides increased reach for deeper or more difficult-to-access fasteners.

Having two extension lengths available allows the user to select the most appropriate setup for the particular application.

Sliding T-Bar

The included 3/4" drive sliding T-bar provides an alternative manual driving option for the sockets.

The sliding handle arrangement allows the position of the handle to be adjusted according to the available working space and application.

This can be particularly useful when additional manual control or leverage is required.

Ratchet Head with Handle

The set also includes a 3/4" drive ratchet head with handle, providing convenient ratcheting operation for repetitive fastening and removal work.

The ratchet allows the socket to be turned repeatedly without completely removing and repositioning the drive tool after each movement.

This can help improve working efficiency during servicing, maintenance and assembly operations.

Professional Heavy-Duty Applications

The Genius Tools GS-617M is suitable for a wide range of professional applications including:

  • Commercial vehicle maintenance
  • Truck and HGV servicing
  • Bus and coach maintenance
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Tractor servicing
  • Plant and construction equipment
  • Heavy machinery maintenance
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Industrial equipment
  • Fleet workshops
  • Engineering workshops
  • Machinery servicing
  • General heavy mechanical repairs

Metal Storage Case

Unlike many socket sets supplied in moulded plastic cases, the GS-617M is supplied in a dedicated metal storage case.

The case provides organised storage for the sockets and accessories, helping keep the complete 17-piece set together when stored in a workshop or transported between jobs.

The metal case also complements the professional heavy-duty nature of the 3/4" drive tool set.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Genius Tools GS-617M socket set?
The GS-617M contains 17 professional 3/4" drive tools, comprising 13 metric 6-point sockets plus a 150mm extension bar, 200mm extension bar, sliding T-bar and ratchet head with handle. The complete set is supplied in a dedicated metal storage case.
What socket sizes are included in the GS-617M?
The set contains 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, 27mm, 30mm, 32mm, 35mm, 36mm, 38mm, 41mm, 46mm and 50mm sockets. This selection of larger metric sizes makes the set particularly useful for commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, plant equipment and heavy mechanical work.
What type of work is a 3/4" drive socket set suitable for?
The heavy-duty 3/4" square drive format is particularly suited to larger fasteners encountered during HGV and commercial vehicle servicing, tractor and agricultural machinery maintenance, plant repairs, heavy machinery servicing and industrial engineering work. It provides a larger drive system for applications where smaller 1/2" drive tooling may not be appropriate.
What is the sliding T-bar used for?
The included 3/4" drive sliding T-bar provides an alternative manual method of driving the sockets. Its movable handle position can be adjusted to suit the available working space, making it useful where additional control or leverage is required for suitable larger fasteners.
Why does the set include both 150mm and 200mm extension bars?
The two extensions provide different levels of additional reach. The 150mm extension maintains a relatively compact working setup, while the 200mm extension provides greater reach for deeper or more recessed fasteners where surrounding components prevent the drive tool from being positioned directly beside the socket.
Are the sockets 6-point or 12-point?
The GS-617M sockets feature a 6-point / hexagon profile. This profile closely matches conventional hexagonal nuts and bolt heads, providing positive engagement and effective torque transfer when the correct socket size is used.
