Socket set YATO YT-1221, 1/2" drive, metric sockets, 22 mm diameter, 76 mm length

YATO YT-1221 is a single long metric socket with a 1/2" drive, designed for fastening and loosening metric fasteners. With a 22 mm diameter and a 76 mm length, this socket provides extended reach for recessed nuts and bolts while remaining compatible with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. The socket's length and metric sizing make it suitable for workshop, automotive and machinery maintenance tasks where a longer reach is required without sacrificing fit accuracy.

Advantages

The YATO long metric socket offers precise engagement with 22 mm hex fasteners and is designed for compatibility with 1/2" drive tool sets. Its 76 mm length allows access to deeply recessed nuts and bolts that standard sockets cannot reach. Manufactured to deliver consistent fit and torque transfer, this socket reduces the risk of rounding fastener corners and improves control when used with ratchets or torque wrenches.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair where recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners are present
• Maintenance of industrial machinery and equipment with deep-set nuts
• General workshop tasks requiring a 22 mm metric socket with extended reach
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, breaker bars and torque tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Socket type: metric, hexagon (22 mm)
• Outer diameter across flats: 22 mm
• Socket length: 76 mm
• Intended use: fastening and loosening metric fasteners

How to use

Select the YATO 22 mm long socket and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying turning force. For tightening to a specified torque, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the fastener manufacturer's torque settings. After use, clean the socket of debris and store it in a socket rail or toolbox to prevent corrosion and loss.

Usage recommendations

Use this long 22 mm socket when standard-length sockets cannot reach the fastener. Match the socket with the correct drive tool and appropriate torque settings; avoid using excessive force with impact tools unless the socket is rated for impact use. Regularly inspect the socket for wear and replace if rounded or damaged to maintain safe and accurate operation.
