M22 1/2-Inch Drive Impact Socket for Machined Bolts

Brief Overview

This is a specialized impact socket engineered specifically for machined bolt applications. The 6-lobed internal profile provides precise engagement without rounding or slipping, making it essential for high-torque work on metric fasteners. Available in complementary sizes like the M24 impact socket and 1/2-inch drive 19mm variant for comprehensive fastener coverage across your shop inventory.

Key Features

• M22 Specification: Precisely machined for metric M22 fasteners
• 6-Lobed Internal Profile: Contoured cavity prevents cam-out and ensures positive engagement
• 1/2-Inch Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, impact drivers, and breaker bars
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Thick-walled black-oxide or phosphate finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• Impact-Rated: Designed to withstand repeated high-torque pneumatic and electric impact applications
• Industrial-Grade Design: White stamped part identification for easy inventory management

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Demand Item: Machined bolt sockets are staple inventory for any professional shop—consistent turnover
• Specialized Niche: Not a commodity; attracts serious mechanics and industrial maintenance teams willing to pay for precision
• Bulk Order Opportunity: Mechanics typically buy multiple sizes; pair with 16mm and 18mm 1/2-inch drive sockets and smaller metric variants to increase basket value
• Premium Positioning: Position as a professional-grade tool—higher margin than standard sockets
• Repeat Purchase: Impact sockets wear; resellers benefit from ongoing replacement orders

Why This Socket Matters

The 6-lobed internal geometry is the differentiator. Standard hex sockets round fastener heads under repeated impact stress. This contoured design seats precisely on machined bolt heads, distributing force evenly and preventing the slipping that leads to stripped fasteners and customer frustration. For shops handling assembly work, industrial maintenance, or precision automotive applications, this socket eliminates callbacks.

Call to Value

Stock this socket as part of your metric impact socket lineup. It's a professional-grade tool with justified premium pricing. Resellers who position machined-bolt sockets as "precision fastener solutions" rather than "just another socket" see stronger margins and customer loyalty.
