Socket 1/2" 22 mm GEKO T00143-22 — 12-point drive, chrome-vanadium

GEKO T00143-22 is a 1/2" drive, 22 mm 12-point socket made from chrome-vanadium steel. It is designed to engage hexagonal fasteners with a 12-point profile and to work with standard 1/2" ratchets and handles. The socket provides a compact fit for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts in automotive, mechanical and general workshop applications.

Advantages

The chrome-vanadium construction offers a balance of strength and wear resistance while maintaining dimensional stability under torque. The 12-point configuration allows easier alignment with fasteners in confined spaces and reduces the need for precise angling when engaging nuts and bolts. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools ensures straightforward interchangeability with common ratchets, extensions and handles used in repair and maintenance work.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs: wheel, engine and suspension fasteners
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in workshops
• General maintenance tasks on machinery and equipment
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket size: 22 mm
• Point profile: 12-point
• Material: chrome-vanadium steel
• Finish: polished/chrome-plated surface for corrosion resistance

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Position the socket over the fastener so the 12-point profile fully engages the nut or bolt head. Apply controlled turning force to tighten or loosen the fastener, taking care to maintain alignment to avoid rounding. When using torque-sensitive applications, verify the torque wrench calibration and apply the specified torque setting.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket for cracks or excessive wear before use and avoid applying impact from an air hammer unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and select the correct drive and socket size to prevent fastener damage.
