Description

Hand Socket 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point 22mm

Brief Overview

This 22mm hand socket delivers reliable fastening control for professional technicians and workshop environments. Built with a 6-point geometry for secure engagement and minimal fastener rounding, it's an essential component in any mechanic's toolkit. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance. Whether you're stocking individual sizes or building complete socket sets, this socket pairs naturally with smaller metric sizes like the 18mm variant and larger capacity sockets such as the 36mm option to create comprehensive coverage across common fastening applications.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Profile: Engages fasteners with precision contact, reducing the risk of cam-out and fastener damage
  • 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2" drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Durable metallic coating for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured middle section improves control during hand-tightening operations
  • Compact Design: 38mm overall length keeps the socket maneuverable in confined spaces
  • Precision Machined Construction: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fit and minimal movement on fasteners

Business Advantages for Resellers

This socket addresses a critical gap in mid-range metric fastening. The 22mm size covers a significant market segment in automotive assembly, maintenance, and industrial work—areas where customers regularly need this exact specification. Bulk ordering creates strong margin potential while building customer loyalty through availability. The chrome finish and knurled grip are visible quality markers that justify positioning this as a premium consumable-resistant tool in your catalog. Stock depth in metric sizes (especially 22mm) differentiates your offering from competitors relying on incomplete ranges.
