Socket 1/2" 22mm long, 6-point for drive tools — NEO Tools (08-047)

NEO Tools 1/2" 22mm long 6-point socket (model 08-047) is a deep-profile socket designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and impact drivers that accept hand-tool sockets. The long length provides extended reach to access recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners while the 6-point internal profile offers secure engagement with hexagonal nuts and bolts, reducing the risk of rounding. This socket is intended for professional and DIY use in automotive, mechanical maintenance and general repair tasks where a durable, precise 22 mm socket is required.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry ensures positive contact with fastener flats, helping to minimize slippage and damage. The extended length improves accessibility for recessed fittings, studs and bolts. Constructed to meet workshop demands, the socket offers consistent fit and reliable torque transfer when used with compatible 1/2" drive tools. Its design supports repeated use in repair and maintenance environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel nut removal where 22 mm fittings are common
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of engines, transmissions and drivetrains
• Maintenance tasks on machinery and equipment with recessed hex fasteners
• General workshop and garage use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible with standard 1/2" drive tools
• Socket diameter: 22 mm for use on corresponding hex fasteners
• Internal profile: 6-point for secure engagement with hexagonal fasteners
• Form factor: long/deep socket to reach recessed nuts and bolts
• Intended use: manual torque applications with ratchets and torque wrenches

How to use

Select the socket and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Place the socket squarely over the 22 mm hex fastener, ensuring full engagement with the 6-point profile before applying torque. For tightening, apply steady, controlled force and, when precision torque is required, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow torque specifications for the fastener. For removal, turn the tool counterclockwise while maintaining socket alignment to avoid slipping.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before use. Use the socket only with hand-drive tools rated for 1/2" drive and avoid using with high-speed impact tools unless the socket is specified as impact-rated. Keep the socket clean and lightly lubricated at the drive interface to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth attachment and removal.
