It combines a deep counter-weighted profile and a 6-point internal geometry to seat securely on the bolt head, while heat-treated GB 40CR alloy steel construction and an impact-rated finish provide strength for high-torque removal tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this socket make crank bolt removal easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sunluway socket increases effective torque transfer and resists deformation during impact wrench use, so bolts that stick from corrosion or tight torque come loose more predictably. Its deep reach and counter-weighted body stabilize the tool while the 6-point contact concentrates force on bolt flats rather than corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep profile clears pulley damper for direct access to the bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point fit minimizes rounding and slippage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCounter-weighted design stabilizes during high-impact use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized for 1\/2\" drive impact wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and heat treatment give this socket durability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 22mm socket is forged from GB 40CR alloy steel and undergoes heat treatment to raise hardness and fracture resistance.
