Socket YATO YT-05224, 1/2" drive, metric/imperial, Ø 2.18 cm, length 38 mm

YATO YT-05224 is a 1/2" drive socket designed to operate with both metric and imperial fasteners. With an outer diameter of 2.18 cm and a length of 38 mm, this socket attaches to standard 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches to provide controlled torque transfer for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts in automotive, mechanical and workshop environments.

Advantages

The socket combines compatibility with metric and imperial systems in a single tool, reducing the need to switch sockets when working with mixed fasteners. Its 1/2" drive ensures compatibility with common ratchets and torque wrenches, while the compact 38 mm length gives access to moderately recessed fasteners. The 2.18 cm outer diameter provides a sturdy contact surface for reliable engagement and reduced rounding of fastener edges.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop use with standard 1/2" drive tools
• Tasks requiring both metric and imperial socket sizes

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Compatibility: metric and imperial fasteners
• Outer diameter: 2.18 cm
• Length: 38 mm
• Intended use: fastening and loosening nuts and bolts

How to use

Attach the YATO YT-05224 socket to a compatible 1/2" ratchet or torque wrench by aligning the drive square and securing it until it clicks into place. Position the socket over the nut or bolt head, ensure proper seating to avoid slipping, and apply torque in the required direction. For torque-controlled applications, set the torque wrench to the specified value and apply force until the wrench indicates completion.

Usage recommendations

Use with tools rated for 1/2" drive and observe specified torque values for fasteners to avoid over-tightening. Inspect the socket for wear or damage before use and keep it clean and lightly lubricated at the drive interface to ensure smooth attachment and removal.
