Socket 1/2" 6-point 22 mm NEO tools 08-422

1/2" 6-point 22 mm socket by NEO tools is a chrome-plated hand tool designed for fastening and loosening hex-head fasteners. Engineered for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches, this socket offers a precise 6-point fit that minimizes rounding and slippage on bolts and nuts. The durable finish provides corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, making it suitable for repeated use in workshop and field conditions.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry ensures full contact with nut flats to reduce wear on fasteners and improve torque transfer. Chrome plating increases surface hardness and helps protect against rust and chemicals commonly encountered in automotive and industrial environments. Compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools allows quick interchangeability with existing tool sets, while the 22 mm size covers a wide range of medium-duty fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel/engine maintenance
• Machinery assembly and maintenance
• General workshop and household mechanical tasks
• Use with torque wrenches for controlled tightening

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Socket size: 22 mm
• Surface finish: chrome-plated
• Intended use: manual fastening and loosening with ratchets and torque wrenches

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely onto the hex-head fastener to ensure full contact on the flats before applying force. For assembly tasks that require a specific torque, use a calibrated torque wrench and apply torque according to the fastener manufacturer's specification. After use, wipe the socket clean and store it in a dry toolbox or socket rail to maintain the chrome finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools rated for 1/2" drive. Avoid applying impact loads unless the socket and tool are specified for impact use. Inspect the socket for wear or damage before use, and replace if deformation or excessive wear is present to prevent fastener damage or slippage.
