SATA GL13313 1/2" Drive 6 Point Socket 22mm

Key specs include a 22mm 6-point design, compatible with all 1/2 inch drive ratchets, made from chrome vanadium steel, chrome-plated for corrosion resistance, impact-ready for high torque use, clearly engraved size markings, knurled edge for a secure grip, lightweight and portable, and backed by a lifetime warranty.

The 6-point design provides a more secure engagement with hex fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage under high torque compared to 12-point sockets. It distributes load evenly across the flats, improving tool longevity and reliability in tough working conditions.

Yes. This socket is designed to work with all 1/2 inch drive ratchets and is built to handle demanding torque, including use with impact drivers when used within its rated capabilities.

The size is clearly engraved on the socket for quick identification. For this model, the size is 22mm, so you can grab the correct tool at a glance even in dim or busy workspaces.

It excels in automotive and mechanical tasks such as engine work, fastener removal and installation, brake work, suspension components, and other tasks requiring reliable engagement with hex fasteners in tight spaces.

1) Align the 6-point socket with the fastener. 2) Slide the socket onto the fastener until seated. 3) Attach the corresponding 1/2 inch drive ratchet and apply steady torque. 4) For better grip, use the knurled edge to maintain control when hands are oily or greasy. 5) Remove the ratchet when the fastener is fully tightened or loosened.

The GL13313 is a 22mm size with the same 6-point, off-corner loading design, chrome vanadium construction, and 1/2 inch drive compatibility as its siblings. The main difference is the socket size (21mm, 22mm, or 23mm), which determines which fasteners you can engage.

Yes. Although the socket is designed to be impact-ready, always use the tool within its rated torque range, avoid heavy side loads, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment. The chrome vanadium construction and off-corner loading help reduce rounding and slippage, improving safety when applying torque in demanding tasks.

Yes. The SATA GL13313 offers durable chrome vanadium steel, a corrosion-resistant chrome finish, a precise 6-point engagement, engraved size identification, knurled grip, and a lifetime warranty, all of which contribute to long-term reliability and value for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.

Wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove oil and debris. If needed, use a mild solvent on a cloth (then wipe dry). Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Regularly inspect for wear or rounding and replace if the 6-point contact becomes damaged to maintain performance.

Yes. It’s made from chrome vanadium steel with a chrome-plated, corrosion-resistant finish. The 6-point precision fit reduces rounding, and the knurled edge provides a non-slip grip for better control in oily or greasy conditions. The tool is designed to withstand high torque applications and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
