Proto J7422MT Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 22mm 12-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7422MT is a 12-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from alloy steel, it is engineered to handle the high-torque demands of professional fastener removal and installation. The socket measures 22mm in size with an overall length of 1.5 inches, making it a compact, robust option for tight access and standard applications alike. Licensed trade professionals and industrial mechanics rely on this type of socket for work on heavy equipment, automotive assemblies, and structural fasteners where breakaway torque is critical.

This socket is suited for use in automotive repair, fleet maintenance, heavy equipment service, and general industrial assembly. The 22mm size fits a range of common fasteners found in drivetrain components, suspension assemblies, and frame hardware. Its 12-point design allows for more engagement positions on hex fasteners, which is useful when working in confined spaces where tool swing is limited.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive for compatibility with standard impact wrenches and ratchets
• 22mm socket size for metric fastener applications
• 12-point design provides multiple engagement positions in tight spaces
• Alloy steel construction resists cracking and deformation under high-torque impact use
• Compact 1.5 inch overall length suits confined installation environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit impact socket for 1/2 inch drive impact tools used in automotive, fleet, and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson familiar with impact tooling. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets on manual-only ratchets in applications that exceed the tool rating. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
