1/2" drive metric socket YATO YT-05228 provides a compact, precision fit for standard hex fasteners. The socket has a 2.78 cm diameter and a 38 mm length, designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches. Constructed for workshop and field use, it delivers consistent engagement with metric bolts and nuts in automotive repair, machinery maintenance and general mechanical tasks where accurate metric sizing and a short working length are required.
Advantages
The socket offers a reliable connection to 1/2" drive tools and a precise internal profile that reduces slippage on hex fasteners. Its compact 38 mm length improves access in confined spaces while maintaining sufficient reach for recessed nuts. The metric sizing ensures compatibility with ISO-standard hex bolts and nuts, and the robust construction supports repeated use under torque demands typical for automotive and industrial maintenance.
Suitable for
- Automotive repair and wheel/engine fastener work
- Machinery assembly and maintenance
- General mechanical and workshop tasks with metric fasteners
- Situations requiring access in tight or recessed areas
Key specifications
- Drive size: 1/2"
- Internal diameter (nominal): 2.78 cm (metric correspondence)
- Length: 38 mm
- Fit type: metric hex fasteners
- Compatibility: designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches
How to use
Select the socket to match the metric size of the fastener, attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench, then engage the hex fastener squarely to avoid rounding. Apply torque smoothly and, when required, use a torque wrench to reach specified torque values. For removal, ensure the socket is fully seated and use steady, controlled force to back out fasteners.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the socket for wear or rounded edges before use, keep the drive connection clean and free of debris, and use appropriate torque settings for the application to prevent fastener damage. Store in a tool tray or organizer to protect the working profile and ensure accurate fit over time.
