Socket 1/2" Metric YATO YT-1205 — 22 mm diameter, 38 mm length

YATO YT-1205 is a 1/2" drive metric socket with a 22 mm diameter and 38 mm length. It is engineered as a hand tool accessory compatible with standard 1/2" square drives, intended for use with ratchets and torque wrenches. The socket's 22 mm opening engages metric fasteners and its 38 mm body offers a balance between reach and strength for general automotive, mechanical and maintenance applications.

Advantages

The socket is made to provide reliable torque transfer and stable engagement with hexagonal fasteners. Its 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with common ratchets and torque tools, while the 38 mm length gives extra clearance for recessed nuts without compromising durability. The metric 22 mm size covers widely used fasteners in vehicle maintenance and machinery repair.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and suspension fasteners sized 22 mm
• Engine and transmission maintenance requiring a 1/2" drive
• Industrial and workshop mechanical assemblies with metric nuts and bolts
• General repair and maintenance where moderate reach and torque accuracy are needed

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive interface for ratchets and torque wrenches)
• Socket diameter (nominal): 22 mm
• Overall length: 38 mm
• Intended use: engagement with metric hexagonal fasteners
• Compatibility: hand tool accessory for ratchets, torque wrenches, and extensions with 1/2" square drives

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely over the fastener head, apply steady torque and avoid sudden jerks to reduce rounding of the fastener. When using a torque wrench, observe the required torque setting and tighten or loosen in accordance with manufacturer specifications. After use, clean debris from the socket bore and store it in a tool tray or socket organizer to maintain service life.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically marked as impact-rated. For critical fastenings, confirm torque settings with a calibrated torque wrench and inspect fasteners and tools for wear before use.
