Socket 1/2" 6-point 22 mm Proxxon PR23422

Proxxon 1/2" 6-point 22 mm socket PR23422 is a single, durable replacement socket designed for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque tools. The six-point internal profile offers positive engagement with hex fasteners to minimise rounding and slipping. Made to fit standard 1/2" drive tool sets, this compact 22 mm socket is suitable for automotive repair, mechanical maintenance and general workshop tasks where a reliable, close-fit socket is required.

Advantages

The six-point design concentrates contact on the flats of fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding and improving torque transfer. Manufactured with durable materials and precise dimensions, the socket provides a secure fit on 22 mm hex heads and remains compatible with common 1/2" drive accessories. Its compact length allows access in tighter spaces while maintaining sufficient wall thickness for repeated professional and home use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs — wheel nuts, engine and chassis fasteners
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of 22 mm hex components
• General maintenance and workshop use with 1/2" drive tools
• Use with torque wrenches and impact or ratchet handles where a 6-point profile is preferred

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Point profile: 6-point (hex)
• Socket size: 22 mm
• Compatibility: standard 1/2" drive tool sets, ratchets and torque tools
• Form factor: single short/standard length replacement socket

How to use

Select the Proxxon 22 mm 6-point socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully engaged on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slipping. When using a torque tool, set the required torque value according to the fastener manufacturer's specification. After use, clean any debris from the socket and store it in a tool tray or socket rail to preserve fit and finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this 6-point socket on hex-headed fasteners and apply torque within the rated limits of your drive tool. Avoid using a 6-point socket on rounded or severely damaged fasteners; in such cases, consider alternative removal tools. Regularly inspect the socket for wear or deformation before precision or safety-critical work.
