1/2" Drive 12-Point Metric 22 mm Shallow Socket - J.H. Williams

The J.H. Williams JHWSTM-1222 1/2" Drive 12-Point Metric 22 mm Shallow Socket is a professional-grade tool engineered for demanding automotive and industrial service. Manufactured in the USA, this socket combines robust construction with innovative features, providing efficient and secure fastener manipulation while enhancing productivity and preventing damage to hardware. It is designed for precise applications where a shallow profile is required.

Key Features

• SuperTorque™ Lobular Design: Features proprietary SuperTorque™ lobular openings that deliver greater turning power by distributing stress away from fastener corners, significantly reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life.
• Versatile 12-Point Configuration: Engineered for quick and reliable engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, streamlining work processes and improving efficiency in diverse mechanical tasks.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Cold-formed from high-strength alloy steel, precision machined, and fully heat-treated for maximum durability and long-lasting performance in rigorous professional environments. It is backed by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
• High-Polished Chrome Finish: The mirror-like chrome finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and allows for easy cleaning after each use.
• Shallow Profile Design: This shallow depth facilitates access in confined spaces and tight clearances, making it suitable for applications where standard depth sockets may not fit and allowing easy engagement on short threaded bolts.
• Clear Size Markings: Permanently stamped size markings ensure quick and easy identification, improving workflow efficiency.
• Not for Impact Use: This socket is designed for hand tool applications and is not suitable for use with impact wrenches.

Applications

This 22 mm shallow socket is an essential component for professional technicians and mechanics working on a wide array of automotive and industrial equipment. Common applications include the maintenance and repair of various suspension components, engine mounts, brake calipers, and numerous structural fasteners found in passenger vehicles, trucks, and heavy machinery, as well as general industrial assemblies. Its 1/2" drive size is compatible with standard professional ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches, making it ideal for tasks requiring precise torque application.
