Socket 1/2" YATO YT-1209, length 38 mm, single piece

YATO YT-1209 is a single 1/2" drive socket with a 38 mm overall length, designed for general fastening and loosening of nuts and bolts. The socket fits standard 1/2" square drives and is supplied as a single piece, suitable for use with ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars in automotive, workshop and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The socket's medium length provides a balance between access to recessed fasteners and compactness for working in tighter spaces. Precision-machined internal profiles ensure accurate fit on hex fasteners to reduce slippage and rounding. Constructed from heat-treated steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, the tool withstands regular workshop use and offers consistent torque transfer when paired with compatible tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop and garage toolkits
• Maintenance and facility service work

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Overall length: 38 mm
• Piece count: single socket per pack

How to use

Select the appropriate socket size for the fastener, attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension, then engage the fastener head before applying turning force. For tightening, use controlled motion and observe the torque specifications for the fastener or assembly. For loosening, apply steady force and, if necessary, use an extension or breaker bar with caution to avoid damage to the socket or fastener.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and the mating fastener before use to ensure proper fit. Avoid using the socket with impact tools unless it is specifically rated for impact use. Store in a dry place and clean after use to maintain the protective finish and prevent corrosion.
