Product Information
Full details
The Expert By Facom 1/2 inch drive 22mm socket is designed for professional mechanics and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a durable tool for high-torque manual applications. Its standout feature is the proprietary OGV profile, which protects fasteners by applying force to the sides of the nut rather than the corners, significantly reducing the risk of rounding. While this socket is built for long-term reliability and heavy use, it is intended specifically for manual operation rather than impact-driven tools.

FAQs
Can I use this with an impact wrench?
No, this socket is designed for manual use only. Using it with power tools may damage the socket or the fastener.
What does OGV stand for?
OGV is a proprietary profile by Facom that allows for maximum contact surface between the socket and the nut, protecting the fastener from damage.
Is this socket 6-point or 12-point?
This is a 6-point hexagon socket, which provides more contact area and strength than a 12-point variant.
What material is it made of?
It is constructed from high-quality chrome vanadium steel.
Will this rust easily?
The high-chrome finish provides excellent resistance to oxidation, though proper maintenance and storage are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit onto the bolt head
Check if the fastener is actually 22mm and ensure no debris is lodged inside the socket hex profile.
Socket feels loose on the ratchet
Verify that your ratchet drive is exactly 1/2" and check the ball detent on the ratchet for wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protects fastener edges from rounding
- High-quality chrome finish resists rust
- Robust chrome vanadium construction
- Standard 1/2" drive compatibility
Cons
- Not suitable for use with impact wrenches
- Only fits 22mm metric fasteners

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this tool, simply attach the 1/2" square drive opening to any standard 1/2" ratchet, extension bar, or torque wrench. It is specifically designed for manual torque application; using this socket with pneumatic or electric impact tools may void the warranty and compromise the structural integrity of the steel.
For care, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove lubricants. If the tool comes into contact with moisture or chemicals, use a light coat of machine oil before storing it in a dry, cool environment to maintain the chrome finish. Regularly inspect the interior of the socket for debris or metal shards that could interfere with a flush fit on fasteners.
