22mm Oxygen Sensor Removal Socket — Slotted CR-V Steel, 1/2" Drive

Take the frustration out of oxygen sensor replacement with this purpose-built 22mm O2 sensor socket. The deep side slot lets the sensor wire pass straight through — no disconnecting the harness, no crushed cables — so you can work efficiently in tight engine bays and exhaust spaces. Available in chrome or black oxide finish, and in two slot widths to suit different sensor wire gauges.

Made in Mainland China.

Key Features

  • Slotted Wire-Clearance Design: The deep side opening accommodates the oxygen sensor cable and connector, letting the socket seat fully over the sensor hex without disturbing the wiring.
  • 22mm Hex Fit: 0.87 in (2.2 cm) hex opening provides stable, slip-resistant contact for compatible 22mm O2 sensors.
  • Two Slot Width Options: Choose the narrow slot (0.31 in / 8 mm) or wide slot (0.71 in / 18 mm) depending on your sensor wire or connector thickness.
  • 1/2" Square Drive: Pairs with standard ratchet wrenches, breaker bars, extension bars, and sliding T-handles for flexible working angles in confined spaces.
  • CR-V Steel Construction: Chrome vanadium steel delivers the strength and toughness needed for stubborn, heat-seized sensors. Available in chrome-plated or black oxide finish.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for professional workshops, automotive repair shops, and home garage use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size oxygen sensors is this 22mm socket compatible with?

A: This socket is designed specifically for 22mm hex oxygen sensors, which are the most common size found on a wide range of passenger vehicles. Always verify your sensor's hex size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

Q: What is the difference between the narrow and wide slot versions of this O2 sensor socket?

A: The narrow slot (8 mm / 0.31 in) is suited for sensors with thinner wire harnesses or connectors, while the wide slot (18 mm / 0.71 in) accommodates bulkier connectors and wiring. Check the diameter of your sensor's wire connector before selecting your variant.

Q: Can this socket be used with an impact wrench?

A: This 22mm oxygen sensor socket is designed for use with 1/2" drive hand tools such as ratchet wrenches, breaker bars, extension bars, and sliding T-handles. For stubborn sensors, a breaker bar is recommended. Use with impact tools is not specified by the manufacturer, so hand-tool use is advised for best results.

Q: Is the socket suitable for use in tight engine bays?

A: Yes. The 1/2" drive connection is compatible with extension bars and sliding T-handles, allowing you to work at various angles in restricted engine bay and exhaust spaces where direct access may be limited.
