Socket 1/2" Metric KS Tools 911.1319 — 22 mm diameter, 55 mm length, made in Germany

Metric socket KS Tools 911.1319 with a 1/2" drive, 22 mm diameter and 55 mm length. Made in Germany, this short hexagon socket is built for connection to 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and impact adapters. It is intended for tightening and loosening metric fasteners in garages, workshops and professional maintenance environments where a compact, precisely sized socket is required.

Advantages

The socket is manufactured to metric dimensions with a 22 mm opening and a 55 mm overall length, providing a balance between access depth and control. Precision machining ensures secure engagement with bolt heads and minimizes rounding. German production and hardened construction contribute to durability and resistance to wear under repeated use with hand and torque tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance — wheel, brake and engine fasteners where 22 mm sockets are required
• Workshop assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment using metric fasteners
• Professional service technicians using 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools
• General maintenance tasks in garages and industrial facilities

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches
• Socket profile: 6-point hexagon for positive grip on bolt heads
• Nominal size: 22 mm opening for metric fasteners
• Overall length: 55 mm for working in confined spaces while maintaining leverage
• Material and finish: hardened steel with corrosion-resistant surface treatment (manufactured in Germany)

How to use

Select this 22 mm socket for matching metric bolts or nuts. Fit the socket onto a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench until it clicks or seats securely. Position the socket squarely on the fastener and apply controlled turning force. For torque-critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the specified torque values for the fastener. After use, clean the socket and store it on a rail or in a toolbox to prevent damage and corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use only sockets that match the fastener size and the tool drive. Avoid excessive impact or side-loading on 6-point sockets to reduce risk of damage. For sealed or rusted fasteners, apply penetrating lubricant and use appropriate breaker bars or penetrating techniques before applying high torque. Regularly inspect the socket for wear and replace if rounding or cracking appears.
