Gearwrench 80634 Hand Socket 1/2 Drive 6 Point 22mm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80634 is a 22mm standard-length, 6-point hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers the durability and corrosion resistance expected in professional shop and field use. The 6-point geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener flats compared to 12-point designs, making it a reliable choice for high-torque applications. At 1.488 inches overall length, it fits into tight spaces without sacrificing strength. The tether-capable design supports tool-tethering programs required in elevated work environments, fall-hazard zones, and industrial facilities.

This socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance work where a metric 1/2 inch drive socket is needed. The 22mm size covers a wide range of common metric fasteners found on engines, suspension components, drivetrain hardware, and structural assemblies. Technicians working under lift, on the floor, or at height will find the tether-capable feature a practical addition for safety compliance. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards, confirming dimensional and performance requirements for professional-grade hand sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this socket should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with proper torque procedures. Ensure the fastener and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent slippage or rounding. When used in elevated or fall-hazard environments, attach an approved tether lanyard through the tether point before use. Inspect the socket for cracks, chips, or corrosion before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
