3/8" Dr. 22mm Cr.-Mo Impact Socket - Genius Tools

The Genius Tools 343222 3/8" Drive 22mm Cr-Mo Impact Socket is engineered for the rigorous demands of professional automotive repair and industrial maintenance. Crafted from high-strength Chromium-Molybdenum steel, this socket delivers reliable performance under high-torque impact conditions, ensuring a precise fit on 22mm metric fasteners. Its robust design is built for consistent use in challenging professional environments.

Key Features

• 3/8" Drive Compatibility: Optimized for use with compact pneumatic and cordless impact wrenches, enabling access in confined spaces such as tight engine bays and undercar assemblies.
• Precision 22mm Hex: Provides accurate sizing for a secure grip on metric fasteners, minimizing the risk of slippage and fastener rounding on critical suspension and chassis hardware.
• Cr-Mo Construction: Manufactured from Chromium-Molybdenum steel for exceptional strength and toughness, essential for continuous impact duty in demanding professional settings.
• 6-Point Impact Design: Engages the flats of the fastener, promoting superior torque transfer and reducing stress on corners, particularly beneficial when working with stubborn or corroded components.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Enhances durability by protecting the socket from rust and wear commonly encountered in shop, roadside, and industrial environments.

Applications

This 22mm impact socket is a critical tool for technicians working on various suspension components, mounting brackets, and general hardware found on many passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles. It is particularly well-suited for under-hood assemblies, engine accessory mounts, subframe and control arm fasteners, and general chassis work where the maneuverability of a 3/8" drive impact tool is preferred. Beyond automotive applications, it supports routine maintenance on industrial equipment, construction machinery, and plant systems that utilize 22mm metric fasteners in areas where larger drive sizes are impractical.
