FAQs

What type of fasteners is this socket designed for?

This is a 6-point (hex) socket designed for 22mm hexagonal nuts and bolts.

What is the main advantage of a deep socket?

Deep sockets are designed to reach fasteners that are recessed or located in areas where a standard socket cannot fit, such as long threaded studs.

What material is the socket made from?

The socket is manufactured from Chrome Vanadium steel, known for its strength and durability.

Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?

Yes, the 1/2" drive size and Chrome Vanadium construction make it suitable for use with compatible impact wrenches, though caution should be exercised to avoid over-tightening.

What other sizes are available in this range?

Laser Tools offers a range of deep sockets from 10mm to 32mm in this series.

How do I clean and maintain the socket?

Wipe clean with a dry cloth after use. For tougher grime, use a mild degreaser and dry thoroughly. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

Is this socket suitable for rusted or damaged bolts?

Yes, the 6-point design provides a strong grip, making it effective for use on damaged or seized nuts and bolts, especially when combined with penetrating oil.

Troubleshooting

Socket doesn't fit the fastener securely.

Verify the fastener is indeed 22mm. Ensure the socket is a 6-point type and not a 12-point, and that the fastener head is not excessively worn or rounded. If the fastener is damaged, consider using a specialized bolt extractor.

Difficulty applying torque.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Check that your 1/2" drive tool is functioning correctly and providing adequate leverage. For seized fasteners, consider using a penetrating lubricant and allowing it time to work.

Socket appears to be deforming under load.

Cease applying force immediately. This may indicate the fastener is seized much tighter than anticipated or that the tool is being used improperly. Inspect the socket and fastener for damage. If the socket is damaged, it should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for reaching recessed or obscured fasteners.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and withstands heavy use.
  • Provides a secure grip, reducing the risk of cam-out, especially on stubborn bolts.
  • Versatile compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools.
  • Cost-effective solution for specialized automotive and mechanical tasks.

Cons

  • Limited to 22mm fastener size; multiple sockets needed for a full range.
  • Deep design may not be necessary for all applications, potentially adding bulk.
  • Requires a 1/2" drive tool, not compatible with smaller drive sizes.
  • Polished finish can be prone to showing scratches with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a standalone socket and requires no setup. Simply attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or impact wrench.

Compatibility: The socket is designed for 1/2" square drive tools. Ensure your ratchet, torque wrench, or impact wrench has a 1/2" drive output. It is specifically sized for 22mm (hexagonal) fasteners.

Care: After use, clean the socket with a dry cloth to remove dirt and grease. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying. Store the socket in a dry environment, preferably in a toolbox or socket organizer, to prevent corrosion. Avoid exposing the socket to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
