Proto J5522M 22mm 12-point 3/4 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J5522M is a 22 mm, 12-point hand socket built for professional-grade fastener work. It features a 3/4 inch drive and a standard-length profile, making it suited for general mechanical and industrial applications where a reliable chrome-plated socket is needed. The 12-point design provides more contact positions around the fastener head, which is useful in tight or awkward working spaces. The chrome-plated finish helps resist corrosion during regular shop use. This socket is typically used by mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians who require durable hand tooling on heavy fasteners.

The J5522M fits standard 3/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Its standard-length body suits most open-access fastener applications encountered in heavy equipment maintenance, industrial machinery service, and general mechanical repair. The 22 mm socket size covers a range of metric hardware common in automotive, agricultural, and industrial equipment. This socket ships as a single unit and is sized for daily use in professional tooling setups.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/4 inch drive hand socket compatible with 3/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches used in professional mechanical and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a 3/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, particularly when working with high-torque applications. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when operating in industrial environments.
