Sliding T-Handle Wrench with Universal Socket, 22 mm Hex Drive
Brief Overview
This is a precision-engineered sliding T-handle wrench designed for professional mechanics and technicians who need versatility in tight working spaces. The removable cross-bar handle and right-angle universal joint allow access to fasteners in constrained positions where conventional wrenches fail. The 22 mm hex socket pairs this tool with medium-to-large automotive and industrial applications—perfect for engine assembly, transmission work, and suspension service. If your customer base needs smaller or larger options, consider stocking complementary sizes like 7 mm hex-drive T-handle wrenches or 24 mm universal socket variants to round out your socket range.
Key Features
- Removable Sliding T-Handle: Cross-bar design with secure black plastic clips; can be repositioned or removed entirely for inline socket wrench use
- Universal (Swivel) Joint: Right-angle articulation enables access to fasteners in tight corners and recessed positions
- 6-Point Hex Socket (22 mm): Precision-machined drive geometry reduces rounding and extends socket life
- Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant, professional appearance; easy to clean and maintain
- Compact Yet Functional Length: 485 mm overall with 230 mm effective handle reach—balanced leverage without excessive bulk
Business Advantages for Resellers
- High-Demand Size: The 22 mm socket addresses a critical gap in professional tool kits—larger fasteners in automotive and industrial repair
- Dual-Use Tool: Single purchase serves two functions (T-handle wrench and inline socket wrench), increasing perceived value to end-users
- Durable Construction: Chrome-plated steel construction and solid engineering ensure long service life and minimal returns
- Essential Workshop Stock: Universal joint design makes this a "must-have" for shops handling complex engine and transmission work
- Margin-Friendly: Solid construction with no plastic-heavy components keeps production costs reasonable while supporting healthy reseller margins

Why This Tool Matters
Professional mechanics recognize that the universal joint is not optional—it's essential. Standard wrenches cannot reach fasteners behind obstructions, under engine components, or in tight engine bays. This wrench transforms those impossible jobs into manageable tasks. The 22 mm size aligns perfectly with large-displacement engine work, transmission assembly, and heavy industrial maintenance where smaller sockets are insufficient.
The removable T-handle also adds versatility: technicians can use it as a traditional T-handle for maximum leverage, or remove the cross-bar and use it as a straight extension socket wrench for confined spaces where a perpendicular handle would obstruct access.
Call to Action
Stock this 22 mm variant as a core inventory item. The universal joint and removable handle design justify premium positioning in your catalog—this is a specialist tool for shops that demand reliability and access in challenging work environments. Pair it with a range of complementary hex-drive and specialty socket tools to build a complete T-handle wrench line that your professional customers will depend on.
