Socket YATO YT-05225 — 1/2" drive, metric sockets, 1.94 cm diameter, 38 mm length

YATO YT-05225 is a metric socket for a 1/2" drive, with an external diameter of 1.94 cm and a length of 38 mm. Designed to work with ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches, this socket is made for tightening and loosening metric fasteners in automotive, workshop and maintenance environments. The socket’s dimensions correspond to standard metric fasteners and the 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with common hand and power drive tools.

Advantages

The socket offers a compact 38 mm length that provides access in moderately confined spaces while maintaining sufficient engagement on the fastener. Its 1/2" drive compatibility makes it suitable for a wide range of ratchets and torque tools commonly used in garages and service shops. The precise metric sizing ensures a proper fit on matching nuts and bolts, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads when used correctly.

Suitable for

• Tightening and loosening metric nuts and bolts
• Automotive repair and routine vehicle maintenance
• Workshop and industrial maintenance tasks
• Use with 1/2" ratchets, impact drivers (where compatible) and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket type: metric
• External diameter: 1.94 cm
• Length: 38 mm

How to use

Select the socket size that matches the metric fastener and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive tool such as a ratchet, extension bar or torque wrench. Place the socket squarely onto the fastener head, apply steady force, and turn the drive tool in the required direction. When using a torque wrench, follow the specified torque settings for the fastener to avoid over-tightening. After use, clean the socket to remove grease and debris and store it with other drive tools to preserve fit and functionality.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the intended application and avoid excessive impact or side loading. When working with high torque requirements, use a properly calibrated torque wrench and suitable extensions to maintain accurate torque transfer and prevent damage to fasteners or the socket.
