Socket YATO YT-1228, 1/2" drive, metric socket, 22 mm diameter, 76 mm length

YATO YT-1228 is a 1/2" drive metric socket with a 22 mm diameter and a 76 mm length, designed for fastening and loosening standard metric nuts and bolts. The socket is compatible with 1/2" square-drive ratchets and torque wrenches and provides extended reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners. Its straightforward geometry and metric sizing make it suitable for workshop and automotive maintenance tasks requiring a longer socket than standard short types.

Advantages

The 76 mm length gives improved access to recessed nuts while maintaining control when used with a 1/2" drive tool. Precision-machined metric profile ensures a close fit on 22 mm fasteners to reduce rounding and slipping. Constructed to industry standards for drive compatibility, it is suitable for use with common ratchets and torque wrenches in professional and home workshops. The simple, durable design allows reliable repeated use in workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where extended reach is needed
• Workshop and garage general fastening and loosening tasks
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches for higher torque applications
• Accessing recessed or hard-to-reach metric fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" square drive compatibility
• Socket size: 22 mm outer diameter for metric fasteners
• Overall length: 76 mm for extended reach
• Intended use: metric nuts and bolts
• Application area: workshop and automotive maintenance

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench and attach the socket by aligning the square drive and pushing until it clicks or seats securely. Place the socket over the 22 mm fastener, ensuring full engagement with the flats of the nut or bolt. Apply torque steadily and avoid sudden impacts; when using a torque wrench, follow the specified torque values for the fastener. Remove the socket by depressing the drive release (if present) or pulling the socket from the drive after use.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and inspect the socket for wear or rounding before critical jobs. Keep the socket clean and lightly lubricated at the drive interface to ease attachment and removal. For best results, use the correct 22 mm size to prevent damage to fasteners and prolong tool life.
