Socket 1/2" drive YATO YT-05246, 38 mm length, single piece

YATO YT-05246 is a single-piece 1/2" drive socket with a 38 mm overall length, designed to work with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. The socket provides a secure, standard-fit connection for tightening and loosening hex nuts and bolts. Its compact length makes it suitable for use in confined or recessed fastener locations while maintaining compatibility with common workshop and garage drive tools.

Advantages

The single-piece construction ensures reliable torque transfer and reduces the risk of splitting under load. A 1/2" drive interface offers broad compatibility with hand and power drive tools used in automotive and industrial maintenance. The 38 mm length balances access and control, allowing work in tighter spaces without sacrificing leverage. Durable material and accurate dimensional tolerances provide consistent fit and reduced fastener rounding.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop and garage tool sets
• Maintenance of agricultural and light industrial equipment

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Socket length: 38 mm
• Socket type: single-piece
• Intended fastener shape: hex (nuts and bolts)
• Material: chrome-plated alloy steel (typical for professional sockets)

How to use

Select a socket of the correct size and slide it onto the 1/2" drive ratchet or torque tool until it locks in place. Position the socket over the fastener head and apply steady torque with the ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench as appropriate. For removal, set the drive tool to the reverse direction and operate the handle smoothly. When using a torque wrench, follow the specified torque values for the fastener to avoid over-tightening.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and drive tool for wear or damage before use. Use the socket only on compatible drive tools and appropriate fastener sizes. To prolong tool life, clean and lightly lubricate the drive connection after use and store in a dry tool case to prevent corrosion.
