The Facom 22mm Deep Hexagon Socket (S.22HLA) is a professional-grade tool designed for automotive technicians and industrial mechanics who require reliable torque transfer on recessed bolts. Its primary advantage is the specialized OGV profile, which protects fasteners by applying force to the sides rather than the corners, though users should note its 77mm length may be too restrictive for extremely tight, low-clearance engine bays.

Yes, its robust construction is designed for industrial use, but ensure your impact wrench does not exceed the recommended torque specifications for the socket.
The OGV profile shifts the contact point of the socket from the corners of the bolt to the faces, which prevents rounding and allows for higher torque.
The S.22HLA is 77mm in length, providing extra reach for recessed areas.
Yes, this tool complies with DIN 3124, as well as NF ISO 2725-1 and NF ISO 1711-1 standards.
While 22mm is very close to 7/8 inch (approx. 22.2mm), it is designed for 22mm metric fasteners. Using it on imperial bolts may result in a loose fit or fastener damage.
Verify that the fastener is exactly 22mm and free of excessive rust or caked-on debris that may be obstructing the fit.
Ensure the socket is pushed fully onto the fastener and that the drive tool is square to the bolt head to prevent side-loading.
To ensure the longevity of your S.22HLA socket, always pair it with a compatible 1/2" square drive ratchet or extension bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent cam-out. After use, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth to remove oil and debris. Store the tool in a dry environment or a modular tool tray to prevent moisture-induced surface oxidation. Avoid using the socket with power tools that exceed its rated torque capacity, and inspect the interior of the socket periodically for any metal shavings or cracks.
