Hex Impact Socket 1/2" AWTools AW38635BL 22 mm Long Black Line

AWTools Hex Impact Socket 1/2" AW38635BL 22 mm Long Black Line is a professional-grade impact socket designed for use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches and torque tools. The 22 mm long configuration gives extra reach for recessed hex fasteners while the Black Line finish helps resist corrosion and wear in demanding workshop and industrial environments. Intended for heavy-duty fastening and loosening tasks, this socket is manufactured to provide reliable contact with hex fasteners and withstand the torque peaks typical of pneumatic and electric impact tools.

Advantages

The long 22 mm profile offers improved access to fasteners located in deep or recessed positions without sacrificing strength. The socket is optimized for impact applications, with a robust internal geometry that reduces rounding of hex fasteners and improves torque transfer. The Black Line surface treatment increases surface durability and provides basic protection against rust and surface damage commonly encountered in automotive and maintenance settings.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing hex bolts and nuts in automotive repair
• Industrial maintenance and machinery servicing where extended reach is required
• Workshop applications with pneumatic or electric impact wrenches
• General fastening tasks on equipment and assemblies with 22 mm hex fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Head profile: hex (6-point)
• Socket size: 22 mm
• Length: long variant for extended reach
• Finish: Black Line surface treatment for corrosion and wear resistance
• Intended use: impact-rated for pneumatic and electric impact tools

How to use

Select the 22 mm AWTools impact socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive retainer or pin to prevent disengagement during use. Place the socket squarely onto the hex fastener, apply controlled impact torque, and monitor tool reaction to avoid over-tightening. After use, inspect the socket for cracking or deformation and clean any debris or grease before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated 1/2" drive tools and avoid hand-only torque applications if socket shows deformation. For consistent results, pair the socket with the correct size 1/2" drive accessories and periodically check both socket and fastener condition to prevent rounding and ensure safe operation.
