Full details
This Laser Tools Extra Deep Impact Socket is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to reach and fasten recessed bolts or nuts. Its primary benefit is the extended 120mm depth, allowing access where standard sockets cannot. A potential caveat is its specific 22mm size, requiring an appropriate fastener to be present. Key features include its durable chrome vanadium steel construction, corrosion-resistant black phosphate finish, versatile single hex design, and 1/2" drive compatibility with impact wrenches.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of this extra deep socket?
The primary advantage is its 120mm depth, allowing access to fasteners that are deeply recessed or positioned in confined areas where standard sockets cannot reach.
What material is the socket made from?
The socket is manufactured from durable chrome vanadium steel.
What does the black phosphate finish do?
The black phosphate finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a non-glare surface.
Can this socket be used with a regular ratchet?
Yes, it has a 1/2" drive and can be used with any compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, not just impact wrenches.
Will this socket fit any bolt?
No, this socket is specifically designed for 22mm fasteners and has a single hex (6-point) engagement.
How should I clean and maintain the socket?
Clean with a dry or damp cloth and store in a dry environment. Avoid harsh chemicals and consider a light oiling to prevent rust, especially after exposure to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the fastener.
Verify the fastener size is precisely 22mm. Ensure the socket is the correct type (single hex) for the fastener head.
Socket feels loose on the fastener.
Inspect both the socket and the fastener for wear or damage. Clean both components thoroughly. For slightly worn fasteners, ensure firm, even pressure is applied.
Socket showing signs of rust.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush. Apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the surface and store in a dry place.
Difficulty engaging with impact wrench.
Ensure the socket's 1/2" drive opening is clear of debris. Confirm the socket is fully seated onto the impact wrench's anvil.
