  • TypeBent Nose Pliers
  • 22 mm metric size fits standard fasteners

Drive Size and Socket Size

This Wheeler-Rex 944 socket fits a 1/2 inch drive and engages 22 mm metric fasteners. The 6-point alloy steel body is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. It is an extra-deep hand socket with 5 inch bolt clearance. Impact use is not rated for this tool.

Suitable Applications and Limits

This socket suits mechanics and technicians turning 22 mm nuts or bolts with a 1/2 inch ratchet or breaker bar where deep reach is required. It is not for impact drivers, for fasteners of any other size, or for drive sizes other than 1/2 inch.

Extra-Deep Design with 5 Inch Clearance

The 5 inch bolt clearance lets the socket reach past long studs or recessed fasteners that standard sockets cannot engage. This single dimension decides whether the tool fits the specific job.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 in drive on the 944 socket fit my existing ratchet?

Yes, the socket uses a standard 1/2 in square drive that matches any 1/2 in ratchet or breaker bar.

How do I seat the 22 mm 6-point socket on a stubborn bolt without rounding it?

Align the six-point opening squarely on the fastener, push the socket fully onto the bolt head until it bottoms out on the 5 in bolt clearance depth, then apply steady torque.

The zinc-plated alloy steel looks durable; what upkeep does the 944 socket need over time?

Wipe off grease and moisture after each use, store it dry to preserve the zinc plating, and replace the socket if the 6-point profile shows cracking or rounding.
