Socket 1/2" 12-point 22 mm Honiton H1722

Honiton H1722 is a 1/2" drive, 12-point socket with a 22 mm opening, intended for fastening and loosening hexagonal fasteners. The socket is compatible with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions. Its 12-point design permits multiple engagement angles, which helps when working with fine-positioned fasteners or in confined spaces typical of automotive and mechanical maintenance.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry enables easier alignment with fastener corners and reduces the need for full rotation to re-engage, improving access in tight areas. The 1/2" drive provides robust torque transfer suitable for medium to heavy fastening tasks. The 22 mm size covers a common metric fastener range used in vehicle repair and machinery maintenance, ensuring broad applicability across workshop tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel-related work
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Maintenance and service tasks in workshops
• Use with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket geometry: 12-point
• Nominal size: 22 mm
• Intended fastener type: hexagonal bolts and nuts
• Typical use environments: automotive, mechanical workshops, maintenance

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive tool such as a ratchet or torque wrench. Place the socket squarely over the hexagonal fastener, ensuring full engagement on the corners. Apply torque through the drive tool, turning clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. When using a torque wrench, observe the required torque settings for the fastener to avoid overtightening.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with hand tools rated for the intended torque; avoid impact tools unless the socket is specified for impact use. Inspect the socket and fastener before applying high torque, and replace the socket if you notice rounding, cracks, or excessive wear. Clean and lightly lubricate the drive connection to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
