Proto, J5222M-TT, Tethered Socket, 3/8 in Drive; 22 mm; 12 Point; Metric

Crafted for demanding tasks, this socket is an essential tool for anyone tackling heavy-duty projects. Featuring a Tethered design with four detent holes, it ensures secure engagement with the square drive from any orientation, providing reliable performance. The innovative TorquePlus configuration enhances the efficiency of socket engagement by targeting fastener flats instead of corners, extending the life of both the socket and fasteners while minimizing the risk of rounding. With a durable chrome finish for superior corrosion resistance and a Positive Control System that secures the socket during use, this 22mm, 12-point metric socket is particularly effective on stubborn or damaged fasteners, making it a versatile addition for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Features

• Proto Tethered Tool Sockets are manufactured with four detent holes so that the pin detent will engage correctly regardless of the direction the socket is placed on the square drive
• The TorquePlus design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners
• The TorquePlus internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners
• Chrome finish is applied after the holes are bored for better corrosion resistance
• The Positive Control System requires a separate tool to attach or remove the socket, meaning it cannot be removed without specific intent
• The TorquePlus configuration employs a radius-corner design, shifting contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributing contact stresses over a large area of the socket, minimizing slippage
• Proto 12 point sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials
