Precision maintenance made simple with the HUDY 170516 Socket Driver

The HUDY 170516 Socket Driver gives model makers a carefully sized 5/16 inch (7.938 mm) tip for neat, repeatable fastening. It is built to sit comfortably in the hand and provide controlled turns on small jobs.

Ergonomics and Durable Construction

Featuring a hollow duraluminum handle, the HUDY 170516 keeps weight low while remaining sturdy. The diamond knurling improves hold so users can keep a steady grip when adjusting suspension or engine mounts.

Tip Accuracy to Minimise Damage

Designed using CAD, the tip profiles on the HUDY 170516 match fastener recesses closely, helping to prevent rounding. The HUDY Spring Steel tip maintains shape under repeated use for long term reliability.

Practical Identification with Colour Caps

Optional colour-coded caps make it straightforward to label and sort your HUDY 170516 in a crowded toolbox, helping you avoid mix-ups during quick trackside adjustments.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some HUDY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 8-12 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is this driver suitable for RC scale accessories?

Yes, where a 5/16 inch socket is required the HUDY 170516 is appropriate for scale fittings, body mounts and accessory attachments that need accurate torque.

Can I use the driver on aluminium fasteners?

You can, but take care not to over-torque aluminium hardware as it is softer than steel; the precise fit of the HUDY 170516 helps reduce slippage that could damage heads.

What should I do if the tip shows wear?

Inspect tips regularly and replace or service them if rounding appears. Using colour caps and labelled storage helps track tool age and wear across your set.

Are spare colour caps easy to source?

Spare caps are commonly available from HUDY dealers or parts specialists; they are a simple way to keep tools organised and identifiable.
