Impact socket NEO tools 1/2" 22mm long hex (model 12-322)

Long 1/2" 22 mm hex impact socket from NEO tools, model 12-322 is designed for use with impact wrenches and impact drivers. It offers a hexagonal interface for secure engagement with 22 mm nuts and bolts and an extended length to access recessed fasteners or work in deep, confined spaces. The socket is intended for professional and DIY automotive and workshop tasks where impact-rated tools are required.

Advantages

The extended 1/2" 22 mm hex impact socket provides improved reach compared with standard sockets, reducing the need to disassemble surrounding components to access fasteners. Constructed for impact use, it resists chipping and deformation under high torque from pneumatic or electric impact tools. The hex geometry ensures positive drive engagement, minimizing rounding of fastener corners and improving torque transfer.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance — wheel, suspension, and engine work
• Workshop and industrial machinery maintenance
• Tight or recessed fasteners where extra reach is required
• Pneumatic and electric impact wrench applications

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket size: 22 mm hex
• Design: long/extended profile for recessed fasteners
• Intended use: impact-rated for use with impact wrenches and drivers
• Material and finish: heat-treated alloy steel with impact-grade surface treatment

How to use

Select the 22 mm hex socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or driver. Place the socket squarely over the fastener head to ensure full engagement. Apply controlled bursts of the impact tool to avoid over-torquing; when loosening, start at low power to break the fastener free, then increase as needed. After use, inspect the socket for cracks or deformation and clean off debris before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools rated for impact use and wear appropriate eye and hand protection. Avoid using cheater bars or excessive leverage on impact tools. Store the socket in a dry environment and replace if any deformation, cracking, or significant wear is detected.
