Socket YATO YT-1224 1/2" drive, metric socket, Ø 22 mm, length 76 mm

YATO YT-1224 is a 1/2" drive metric socket with a 22 mm diameter and a 76 mm length, engineered for use with 1/2" drive ratchets, extension bars and torque tools. The medium-length construction balances access and strength, allowing secure engagement with metric hex fasteners in automotive, workshop and maintenance applications where recessed or partially obstructed nuts and bolts are present.

Advantages

This 22 mm metric socket offers reliable torque transfer and a consistent fit on hex heads to reduce rounding. The 1/2" drive interface provides compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and torque wrenches, while the 76 mm length gives extra reach for slightly recessed fasteners without compromising rigidity. Manufactured for workshop use, the socket delivers repeatable performance for frequent tightening and loosening tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing — wheel nuts, engine and chassis fasteners
• General workshop maintenance — machinery and equipment assembly
• Maintenance tasks in industrial and facility settings where medium-reach sockets are required
• Use with torque wrenches for specified tightening values on metric fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Sock et type: metric hex socket
• Nominal socket diameter: 22 mm
• Overall length: 76 mm
• Application: designed for engagement with hexagonal metric fasteners

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket for the corresponding metric hex fastener 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 torque. For tight or rusted fasteners, apply steady force and avoid sudden impacts that can damage the fastener head. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and apply force slowly until the wrench indicates the set value.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and drive connection before use; replace if worn or damaged. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow torque specifications for critical fastenings. Store in a dry, organized tool chest or socket rail to prevent corrosion and ensure quick selection for future tasks.
