Impact Socket 1/2" 22 mm NEO Tools 12-222, 6-point

NEO Tools impact socket 1/2" 22 mm (model 12-222) is a 6-point socket engineered for use with impact wrenches and impact drivers. It is designed to fit 22 mm hex fasteners securely and withstand the torque peaks typical of automotive repair, mechanical maintenance and industrial assembly tasks. The socket's 1/2" drive size makes it compatible with standard impact ratchets and pneumatic or electric impact tools.

Advantages

The 6-point configuration concentrates contact on the flats of the fastener to reduce rounding and slipping, while the impact-rated construction improves resistance to shock and fatigue under repeated use. The robust drive interface ensures reliable attachment to impact tools, and the precise 22 mm internal profile delivers a tight fit for efficient torque transfer. Surface treatment provides corrosion resistance during ordinary workshop exposure.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and brake system maintenance
• Engine and transmission service where 22 mm fasteners are present
• General workshop and industrial assembly or disassembly
• Pneumatic and electric impact wrench applications

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket size: 22 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: impact applications with impact wrenches and drivers
• Material and finish: impact-grade alloy steel with protective surface treatment

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket for the corresponding fastener, attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or extension, and seat it fully on the nut or bolt head. Operate the impact tool following the tool manufacturer's recommended torque and safety settings to avoid over-torquing. Inspect the socket and fastener engagement before each use and replace the socket if signs of cracking, excessive wear, or deformation appear.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, use appropriate impact-rated extensions and adapters, and pair the socket with a torque-controlled tool when final tightening is required. Store the socket in a dry toolbox and clean debris from the hex profile after use to maintain optimal fit and service life.
