Gearwrench 80822 Deep Hand Socket 24mm 1/2 Drive 12 Point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80822 is a 24mm deep hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it features a 12-point hex drive profile for engagement on standard hex fasteners. The deep length — 3.031 inches overall — provides clearance over extended studs, deep bolt wells, and protruding threaded shafts. A tether-capable design allows the socket to be secured with a safety tether, making it suitable for elevated or overhead work environments where dropped tools are a hazard. Licensed mechanics, fleet technicians, and maintenance trades use this socket for drivetrain, suspension, and general mechanical work.

This socket is intended for metric fastener applications in automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance settings. The 24mm size is common on wheel hub fasteners, axle nuts, suspension components, and engine ancillary hardware. The deep profile accommodates fasteners on extended studs or in recessed locations where a standard-length socket would not seat fully. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion during normal shop use. No insulation is present, so this socket is not rated for electrical or live-circuit work.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand with a compatible 1/2 inch drive tool. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. Do not use impact-rated power tools with this hand socket unless the socket is rated for impact use. Confirm the socket is free of cracks or deformation before each use, and replace if damaged.
