TORX PLUS SOCKET - EP22 - CTA Manufacturing Corp.

The CTA Manufacturing Corp. 9662 TORX PLUS SOCKET - EP22 is an essential tool engineered for professionals maintaining modern automotive and industrial machinery. This specialized EP22 socket is designed to provide precise engagement on elliptical-shaped External Torx Plus fasteners, which standard Torx or Ribe designs will not fit, preventing damage to critical components and ensuring accurate torque application. Its professional-grade construction delivers reliable performance in demanding shop environments.

Key Features

• Correct EP22 Profile: Designed specifically for OE-style External TORX PLUS fasteners, this EP22 socket ensures optimal torque transfer and significantly reduces the risk of rounding or stripping due to its unique elliptical-based geometry.
• Precision Fitment: Machined to tight tolerances, the socket minimizes cam-out and wear on fasteners, particularly vital in high-torque applications within powertrain and chassis assemblies. Its true 0? drive angle and straight vertical sidewalls virtually eliminate radial forces and maximize engagement.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Constructed from robust, impact-quality steel, this 1/2-inch drive socket is built for long-term reliability and is suitable for both impact and hand-tool use in professional settings.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: A protective black finish helps guard against rust and common shop fluids, ensuring consistent performance and extended tool life.
• Clear Size Marking: The distinct EP22 marking allows for quick and accurate identification, making it easy to distinguish from standard Torx sockets in a busy toolbox.

Applications

The CTA 9662 TORX PLUS EP22 socket is frequently utilized on late-model European and domestic vehicles that specify external Torx Plus fasteners. Common automotive applications include engine components, transmission housings, transfer cases, and various suspension hardware, such as Honda Civic motor mounts (2013 & up), and Ford Super Duty bedliner bolts. It is also well-suited for industrial machinery assembly and maintenance requiring EP22 external Torx Plus hardware, ensuring fastener integrity and proper component security.
