Socket YATO YT-1227 1/2" drive, metric sockets, 22 mm diameter, 76 mm length

YATO YT-1227 is a 1/2" drive metric socket engineered for tightening and loosening metric fasteners. With a 22 mm diameter and 76 mm overall length, this socket provides extended reach compared to standard-length sockets and is compatible with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches. The socket's length helps access recessed nuts and bolts while maintaining a secure fit on hexagonal fasteners.

Advantages

The 76 mm length increases accessibility in recessed or hard-to-reach locations without requiring extensions. The 22 mm hex profile offers precise engagement with fasteners to reduce rounding and slippage. Designed for use with 1/2" drive tools, the socket delivers reliable torque transfer suitable for workshop and automotive applications. The solid construction ensures repeatable performance during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair where a long 22 mm socket is needed
• Workshop tasks involving metric hex nuts and bolts
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery with recessed fasteners
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket type: Metric, 6-point hex profile
• Nominal size: 22 mm
• Overall length: 76 mm
• Compatibility: For use with 1/2" drive hand tools such as ratchets and torque wrenches

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Place the socket over the hexagonal fastener head, ensuring full seat on the flats before applying torque. Turn the ratchet or apply torque as required; when using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and operate according to the wrench manufacturer's instructions. Remove the socket after use and store it in a designated socket rail or case to preserve the working surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Inspect fastener and socket engagement before applying high torque. Use a torque wrench for applications that require a specific torque value and avoid impact tools unless the socket is rated for impact use. Clean and lightly lubricate the drive connection periodically to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
