Steelman 61022 22.5mm Deep Impact Socket — 1/2-Inch Drive, Thin Wall, 6-Point

Meet the Steelman 61022 22.5mm Deep Impact Socket

Designed for demanding automotive tasks, this socket blends strength with thoughtful design to help you tackle nuts and bolts in cars, trucks, and heavy equipment. The combination of hardened chromoly steel and a deep, thin-wall profile makes it a versatile choice for tight spaces and tough fasteners.

Key benefits

• PRECISION SIZE - Precision sized 1/2-inch drive socket fits 22mm metric fasteners with previous damage
• DURABLE STEEL - Socket is made from hardened chromoly (CrMo) steel for long lasting durability
• THIN-WALLS - Thin wall design more easily accesses fasteners in narrow spaces and tight recesses
• CORROSION RESISTANT - Features a rust and corrosion resistant black oxide protective coating
• 6-POINT DESIGN - 6-Point design grips fastener sides not corners to reduce wear and rounding

Designed for reach and versatility

With a deep profile, the 61022 reaches nuts on extended bolts and fasteners tucked into recesses, reducing the need for extensions. The slightly oversized 22mm size helps accommodate lug nuts that have deformed over time, while the ball detent end keeps the socket securely attached to your ratchet or tool of choice.

Real-world use and considerations

In everyday shop conditions, you’ll notice the balance of robustness and access. The steel’s rigidity supports high torque, while the thin walls help you work in cramped areas without worrying about clearance. The black oxide finish adds a protective layer against moisture and elements, contributing to a longer serviceable life.

Compatibility and usage tips

• Secure attachment is aided by the ball detent recess on the drive end for ratchets and impact tools
• Deep reach design allows access to fasteners in recessed locations without extra extensions
