Description

3/8-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket, 22mm

Overview

This 22mm long hand socket delivers the precision and reach required for professional automotive and mechanical work. The 6-point geometry provides superior grip on fastener corners, reducing rounding risk compared to 12-point designs. The extended length (63mm) accommodates recessed and hard-to-access fasteners, making it essential for engine work, suspension assembly, and tight-tolerance applications. Chrome-plated satin finish ensures durability and corrosion resistance in demanding shop environments.

For mechanics requiring broader coverage, 6-point sockets in complementary sizes and individual precision sockets are available to build a complete 3/8-inch drive collection.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Hexagon Geometry: Precise corner engagement minimizes fastener wear and cam-out risk
  • Extended Reach Design: 63mm overall length reaches recessed fasteners and confined spaces
  • Knurled Grip Ring: Mid-body texture improves handling control and grip security
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Satin surface resists corrosion and maintains appearance under heavy use
  • Chamfered Lead Edge: Eased socket mouth simplifies fastener entry and reduces installation friction
  • Square 3/8" Drive: Standard detent compatibility with 3/8-inch drive tools and extensions

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Rotation Item: 22mm is a frequently-demanded size in standard bolt applications, ensuring consistent inventory turnover
  • Professional-Grade Build: Chrome plating and precision manufacturing support premium positioning and customer retention
  • Bundle Opportunity: Market as part of a complete socket set with other 3/8-inch long sockets to increase average order value
  • Durable Construction: Chrome finish and thick walls reduce warranty claims and customer replacement costs

Why This Socket Matters

The 22mm size covers a critical range in European fastener standards, particularly for suspension components, transmission work, and heavy bolt applications. The extended length eliminates the need for multiple extension bars, reducing tool complexity and improving torque transmission efficiency. The 6-point design holds fasteners securely without the slop associated with 12-point sockets, a critical advantage when working in tight spaces where leverage is limited.

Stock this size confidently—it represents a professional standard that shops and technicians return to again and again.
