Socket bit 1/2" 22 mm, 6-point — Hartsson 17A322Z

Hartsson 1/2" 22 mm 6-point socket bit is a precision tool accessory intended for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. The 22 mm size and six-point (hex) profile provide positive engagement with hexagonal bolts and nuts, reducing the risk of rounding fastener corners and enabling controlled torque application in automotive repair, mechanical maintenance and assembly operations.

Advantages

The 6-point design concentrates contact on the flats of a fastener for improved grip and reduced cam-out compared with 12-point sockets. Built for compatibility with standard 1/2" drive systems, the socket bit enables consistent torque transfer from ratchets and torque wrenches. Its compact length and precise internal geometry make it suitable for both confined and general-purpose working environments, delivering reliable fit and repeated use in workshop settings.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel work that requires 22 mm sockets
• Mechanical maintenance and equipment servicing
• Assembly and disassembly of hex fasteners in industrial and domestic projects
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches for accurate torque control

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket size: 22 mm
• Point profile: 6-point (hex)
• Compatibility: designed for use with 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches
• Typical applications: automotive, maintenance, assembly

How to use

Select the Hartsson 22 mm 6-point socket bit and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Position the socket over the hex fastener, ensuring full seating on the flats before applying force. For tightening operations with a torque wrench, set the required torque value on the wrench and apply steady pressure until the wrench indicates the set torque. For loosening, apply controlled force and avoid sudden impacts that could damage the fastener or socket.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before each use, and replace the socket if rounding or cracking appears. Use the socket with tools rated for the intended torque; avoid exceeding the recommended torque for the fastener to prevent tool or fastener failure. Keep the socket clean and lightly lubricated if storing for long periods to prevent corrosion.
