Socket bit Wera 8790 C Impaktor Deep 22 mm 1/2 drive

Wera 8790 C Impaktor Deep 22 mm 1/2 drive is a deep socket bit engineered for use with 1/2-inch drive impact tools. The socket's extended length enables access to recessed nuts and bolts in tight assemblies while the Impaktor profile is optimized to withstand the shock and high torque produced by impact drivers. Constructed for repeated impact use, this 22 mm deep socket is suitable for professional automotive, industrial and maintenance applications where reliable, impact-rated fastening is needed.

Advantages

The deep geometry allows engagement with fasteners located below surrounding surfaces without requiring additional extensions. The Impaktor design reduces stress peaks at the driver–socket interface to improve service life when used with impact tools. Manufactured from impact-grade alloy with heat treatment and precision finishing, the socket provides a secure fit on 22 mm fasteners and consistent torque transfer. Its 1/2-inch drive compatibility makes it suitable for standard impact wrenches and ratchets with matching drives.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening 22 mm nuts and bolts recessed in engine bays and machinery housings
• Automotive maintenance and repair where impact-rated tools are used
• Industrial assembly and service tasks requiring deep access
• General maintenance where durable, shock-resistant sockets are required

Key specifications

• Socket size: 22 mm
• Drive type: 1/2-inch drive
• Design: deep socket geometry for recessed fasteners
• Profile: Impaktor profile optimized for impact tools
• Material characteristics: impact-grade alloy with heat treatment and precision finishing
• Intended use: compatible with impact wrenches and impact drivers

How to use

Select the 22 mm Impaktor deep socket when the fastener size matches and when deep access is required. Attach the socket to a 1/2-inch drive impact wrench or ratchet, ensuring the drive engagement is secure. Position the socket squarely on the nut or bolt head before applying torque. When using an impact tool, operate at recommended tool settings and allow the Impaktor socket to absorb repeated impact loads rather than applying excessive manual force. Inspect the socket for visible wear or deformation before each use and replace if damage is observed.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible 1/2-inch drive impact tools and avoid using with non-impact hand tools for extended prying; store in a dry, clean environment and inspect regularly for wear. Follow tool and fastener manufacturers' torque guidelines to prevent overloading the socket and connected tools.
