Socket 1/2" drive, YATO YT-1207, length 38 mm, single piece

YATO YT-1207 is a single 1/2" drive socket, 38 mm long, designed for fastening and loosening hex fasteners. Compatible with ratchets and torque tools that have a 1/2" square drive, this socket is intended for automotive, mechanical and maintenance work. Its compact 38 mm length allows access in confined spaces while providing the torque transfer needed for routine workshop tasks.

Advantages

The socket is made for reliable engagement with hex fasteners and ensures smooth rotation and controlled torque transfer when paired with standard 1/2" drive tools. Its moderate length balances accessibility and strength, reducing the risk of rounding fastener corners. Single-piece construction simplifies storage and selection when a specific size is required for a repair or assembly operation.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and maintenance
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop and garage use where 1/2" drive tools are standard
• Tasks in confined or hard-to-reach spaces

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" square drive compatibility
• Length: 38 mm
• Type: single piece socket for hex fasteners
• Intended use: fastening and loosening hex nuts and bolts

How to use

Select the socket size that matches the hex fastener, attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench, and place the socket fully onto the fastener head. Apply steady torque through the ratchet or wrench, ensuring alignment to avoid slipping. After use, clean any debris and store the socket in a rack or toolbox to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use a torque wrench when tightening critical fasteners to achieve specified torque values. Avoid excessive impact on sockets not rated for impact tools; when using impact drivers, select sockets specifically designed for impact use. Inspect the socket periodically for wear or rounding and replace if deformation is detected.
