Fixman 3/8 Inch Drive Hex Socket 22mm
At a Glance: 22mm hex socket with 3/8 inch square drive for tightening and loosening compatible 22mm hex-head nuts and fasteners
The Fixman FIX H0215M Hex Socket is designed for use with compatible 3/8 inch drive ratchets, handles and socket accessories. Its 22mm hex profile is suited to matching external hex-head fasteners, making it a practical choice for automotive, mechanical, maintenance, assembly and general workshop applications. The 3/8 inch drive format provides controlled hand operation while allowing the socket to be used with suitable ratchets, extensions and other compatible accessories.
A hex socket fits over a matching external hex-head nut or bolt and transfers turning force from a ratchet or other socket handle to the fastener. Correctly matching the 22mm socket size to the fastener helps provide secure engagement and reduces the risk of damaging the fastener corners.
