Proto J7322MHT Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 22mm

Product Description

The PROTO J7322MHT is a 22mm, 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from alloy steel in a thin-wall profile, it delivers the torque transfer needed for demanding fastener work while fitting into tighter spaces than standard-wall sockets. The overall length of 3.5 inches suits most underhood, equipment, and structural fastening applications. It is sized for hex drive engagement, making it a straightforward fit on standard square-drive impact tools. This socket is a common choice for automotive technicians, heavy equipment mechanics, and industrial maintenance crews who need a reliable metric impact socket in everyday rotation.

This socket suits residential and commercial mechanical work wherever a 22mm fastener and a 1/2 inch drive impact tool are in use. Typical applications include suspension and drivetrain work, heavy equipment maintenance, and general industrial assembly or disassembly. The thin-wall construction is particularly useful in confined fastener locations where a full-wall socket would not clear surrounding components.

Key Features

• 22mm socket size with 6-point drive geometry for secure fastener engagement and reduced rounding
• 1/2 inch square drive fits standard impact wrenches and ratchets
• Thin-wall profile allows access in tight or recessed fastener locations
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact use
• 3.5 inch overall length suits a wide range of fastener depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars accepting standard square-drive accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by qualified mechanics or technicians familiar with impact tooling. Before use, confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the fastener to prevent slippage under load. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, as impact sockets are subject to cyclic stress. Do not use impact sockets with hand-drive ratchets beyond their rated torque range.
