Socket YATO YT-1206 — 1/2" drive, metric socket, 22 mm diameter, 38 mm length

YATO YT-1206 is a 22 mm metric socket with a 1/2" drive and a 38 mm length. Designed for general-purpose tightening and loosening of metric fasteners, this medium-length socket is compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions. The design provides a balance between reach and access, allowing users to work on bolts and nuts in automotive, industrial and maintenance environments where a medium-reach socket is required.

Advantages

The socket's 22 mm size and 1/2" drive make it suitable for a wide range of standard fasteners. Its 38 mm length offers improved access compared with short sockets while remaining compact enough for confined spaces. Constructed to fit common 1/2" drive tools, the socket ensures consistent engagement with fastener heads and stable torque transfer when used with compatible wrenches and extensions.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance (wheel nuts, engine and chassis fasteners)
• Industrial assembly and disassembly of metric fasteners
• General maintenance tasks requiring medium-length sockets
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and socket extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket size: 22 mm (metric)
• Length: 38 mm
• Type: single-piece, medium-length metric socket

How to use

Select this 22 mm socket and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Align the socket squarely with the fastener head before applying force. For accurate torque application, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque specifications for the fastener. When working in tight or recessed areas, use the socket with an appropriate extension or universal joint to improve access and reach.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and the drive tool for wear or damage before use. Use the correct drive and socket size to prevent rounding fastener heads. For torque-critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and avoid using the socket with impact tools unless it is explicitly rated for impact use.
