Socket 1/2" YATO YT-04316, 55 mm drive length, single piece

YATO YT-04316 is a single 1/2" drive socket with a 55 mm drive length designed for fastening and loosening standard hex and Torx fasteners. Intended for use with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and other 1/2" drive tools, the socket provides medium-depth access to recessed nuts and bolts in automotive, maintenance and assembly applications. The single-piece construction offers straightforward compatibility with common 1/2" tool sets and drive accessories.

Advantages

The socket combines a 55 mm drive length that balances reach and control with a standard 1/2" drive interface for broad compatibility. Manufactured by YATO, the tool is suitable for repeated professional and workshop use where reliable engagement with fasteners is required. As a single-piece socket, it simplifies selection when a specific length and size are needed for medium-depth work.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where medium-depth access to fasteners is needed
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks using 1/2" drive tools
• General workshop and industrial maintenance involving standard hex and Torx fittings

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Length (drive length): 55 mm
• Intended fastener types: hex and Torx-compatible (T50 indicated)
• Configuration: single-piece socket

How to use

Select the socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" ratchet or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely over the fastener head, apply controlled torque with the selected drive tool, and turn to tighten or loosen the fastener. Use appropriate torque settings when working with torque-sensitive assemblies and ensure the socket is fully engaged with the fastener to avoid rounding.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, combine the socket with a correctly rated 1/2" drive tool and follow manufacturer torque guidelines. Inspect the socket for wear or damage before use, and avoid using sockets on fasteners that exceed the socket’s intended size or load. Store in a clean, dry environment to minimize corrosion and maintain reliable fitment.
