Westward 1/2-in Drive 22 mm Socket

The Westward 53YU34 is a 1/2-inch drive metric socket with a 22 mm hex opening and six-point geometry. It is made from alloy steel with a chrome finish and conforms to ASME B107.110-2012. The tool is intended for hand-driven fastening on standard metric hardware in automotive and general mechanical work.

Behaviour under sustained torque

Because the socket is not impact rated it is designed for steady hand-applied force rather than repeated high-impact cycles from a power gun. The six-point profile distributes load across the fastener flats to reduce rounding during prolonged tightening or loosening. Chrome plating resists corrosion during extended shop use.

Upgrade path and fitment

This socket replaces a worn or missing 22 mm six-point piece in an existing 1/2-inch drive set. The jump is worthwhile when the current tool shows rounded corners or when a metric fastener requires the exact 22 mm size. Buyers who need impact-rated sockets or a different drive size should look elsewhere.

Highlights

Questions about this item

Does the 22 mm, 6-point socket generate any noise or heat during all-day use?

No, this hand tool has no moving parts and produces neither noise nor heat.

What drive tool must I already own to use this 1/2 in drive socket?

A 1/2 in drive ratchet, breaker bar or impact wrench is required to turn the socket.

Will this 22 mm socket fit the older 1/2 in drive ratchet I have kept since 2012?

Yes, the 1/2 in square drive follows ASME B 107.110 so it mates with any compliant 1/2 in drive tool.
