Socket set YATO YT-05220 — 1/2" drive, imperial sockets, 2.18 cm diameter, 38 mm length

YATO YT-05220 is a compact socket set with a 1/2" drive designed for use on imperial (inch) fasteners. Individual sockets in the set have an outer diameter of 2.18 cm and a length of 38 mm, making them suitable for general mechanical and maintenance work on vehicles, machinery and equipment. The set is intended for use with compatible 1/2" ratchets, extension bars and torque tools and is presented as a practical option where a short, robust socket is required for limited-access applications.

Advantages

The socket set combines a standardized 1/2" drive with imperial sizing to match inch fasteners commonly found on older vehicles and imported machinery. Short 38 mm length sockets provide good access in confined spaces while the 2.18 cm outer diameter balances strength and clearance. The design allows use with common accessories such as ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches, enabling accurate tightening and easy loosening of fasteners. Build consistency across the sockets supports reliable fit and repeatable performance in workshop and field environments.

Suitable for

• Mechanical repair and maintenance on cars, motorcycles and light trucks
• Servicing industrial machinery and equipment with inch fasteners
• Workshop use with 1/2" ratchets, extensions and torque tools
• Field maintenance where compact sockets are needed for tight spaces

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket type: imperial (inch) sockets
• Socket outer diameter: 2.18 cm
• Socket length: 38 mm
• Compatibility: for use with 1/2" ratchets, extension bars and torque tools

How to use

Select the socket that matches the head size of the inch fastener, attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" ratchet or extension, and engage the fastener squarely to avoid rounding. For tightening to a specified torque, use an appropriate 1/2" torque wrench and apply the required torque value following the equipment manufacturer's specifications. For removal, operate the ratchet in the reverse direction and keep even pressure on the fastener to prevent slipping.

Usage recommendations

Use the sockets with compatible 1/2" accessories and avoid excessive impact or misuse beyond the intended torque limits. Keep sockets clean and lightly lubricated on the drive square to ensure smooth attachment and reduce wear. Store the set in a dry, protected place to prevent corrosion and maintain accurate fit.
