Socket wrench adapter/extension YATO YT-1168, 63 mm length, 1 pc

YATO YT-1168 is a compact socket wrench adapter/extension with a 63 mm overall length supplied as a single piece. It connects sockets to ratchets or drive tools to extend reach slightly while maintaining a low profile, enabling work in confined or hard-to-reach fastener locations. The adapter is intended for use in automotive repair, workshop maintenance, and general mechanical tasks where a short extension reduces clearance issues compared with longer extensions.

Advantages

The adapter provides a reliable mechanical connection between a drive tool and sockets while keeping overall length minimal to improve access in tight spaces. Its short 63 mm size reduces leverage loss compared with very long extensions and helps maintain control of torque transfer. The single-piece supply simplifies inventory and replacement, and the robust construction common to YATO hand tools ensures repeatable fit and function with compatible sockets and ratchets.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair where fasteners are recessed or surrounded by components
• Workshop and garage maintenance on machinery and engines
• General mechanical and assembly tasks in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Length: 63 mm
• Type: socket adapter / extension
• Supply: single piece
• Compatibility: designed to connect standard sockets to ratchets or drive tools

How to use

Attach the adapter to the square drive of the ratchet or drive tool until it engages securely, then fit the appropriate socket onto the adapter. Use the assembled combination to tighten or loosen fasteners, keeping hand position and torque control appropriate for the size of fastener and tool. After use, remove the socket and adapter, inspect for wear or deformation, and store in a tool drawer or case to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter only with sockets and drive tools of matching square drive size; avoid excessive impact loads unless the adapter is rated for impact use. Regularly inspect the connection faces for wear, keep contact surfaces clean, and apply light machine oil to prevent corrosion if storing in humid environments.
