Proto J5022MH Deep Hand Socket 22mm 6-pt 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5022MH is a deep hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. It accepts a 22 mm fastener and features a 6-point contact geometry that reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under load. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this socket is built to handle the torque demands of professional hand-tool work. At 2.75 inches in overall length, the deep configuration provides the reach needed to seat onto fasteners with extended threads or recessed bolt heads. It meets ASME B107.5 standards for hand socket performance.

The J5022MH suits automotive, industrial, and mechanical service work where a 22 mm deep socket on a 3/8 inch drive is required. The deep length is particularly useful when working around protruding studs, long bolts, or recessed hex-head fasteners. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and general trade technicians will find this socket useful in engine bay, suspension, and equipment maintenance applications where standard-length sockets lack the necessary reach.

Key Features

• 22 mm socket size for metric fasteners
• 6-point design reduces fastener rounding under high torque

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style deep hand socket compatible with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions accepting 22 mm metric fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use with 3/8 inch drive hand tools only. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Do not use with impact drivers unless the socket is impact-rated. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
