-
12-point design for fast, confident engagement — The 12 contact points ease alignment with a 22 mm fastener, reducing frustration when starting a difficult bolt in tight spaces.
-
1/2 in. drive for versatility — Compatible with standard 1/2 in. drive ratchets and extension bars, delivering reliable torque transfer for a wide range of tasks.
-
Deep reach for recessed fasteners — At 3-1/8 in. in length, this socket clears obstacles and allows access to bolts that sit deeper or behind components.
-
Precise metric sizing — 22 mm socket size covers common European and metric fasteners found on vehicles, machinery, and equipment.
-
Durable, corrosion-resistant finish — Polished chrome protects the tool in oily, damp, or abrasive environments and cleans easily after use.
-
Measured for fit and performance — Nut End Outside Diameter: 1-3/16 in.; Nut Depth: 1-13/32 in.; Bolt Clearance Depth: 2-7/32 in.; crafted from Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel for long-term resilience.
-
Designed for non-impact use — This socket is not impact-rated, making it ideal for hand ratchets and standard torque applications where precision and control are essential.
-
Carded packaging — Convenient for hanging in a tool catalog or retail display, keeping this essential metric socket easy to find.
Ideal for automotive maintenance, European vehicle service, and industrial equipment where 22 mm fasteners sit in recessed or obstructed locations, this DeWalt deep socket helps you complete jobs faster. Use it to tackle lug bolts, engine and transmission components, brake hardware, or any metric fastener that benefits from a deeper socket engagement.
Why choose this DeWalt 22 mm deep socket over other metric sockets? The combination of a true 22 mm size, 12-point geometry for quick alignment, and a longer reach delivers reliable engagement in cramped spaces where a shallow socket would struggle. The chrome vanadium core is heat-treated to resist wear, so the tool maintains its shape and grip after repeated use, while the polished chrome finish helps resist corrosion from oil, grease, and humidity.
Practical tips for best results:
- Pair with a high-quality 1/2 in. drive ratchet and a short extension for tight engine bays or behind brake components.
- Ensure the socket seats evenly on the fastener to prevent rounding, especially in recessed positions.
- Keep the socket clean and dry after use; wipe away oil and grime to preserve the polished finish.
Whether you’re a professional mechanic, a shop tech, or a DIY enthusiast converting a metric toolkit, the DeWalt 22 mm x 1/2 in. drive Metric 12 Point Deep Socket delivers precise engagement, durable construction, and long-reach capability—making tough metric fasteners accessible when space is limited and time matters.
