Socket 1/2" Metric 76 mm length YATO YT-1230 24 mm diameter

YATO YT-1230 is a 1/2" drive metric socket with a 24 mm diameter and 76 mm overall length. It is engineered for use with 1/2" ratchets and breaker bars to tighten and loosen hex fasteners in automotive, industrial and workshop settings. The compact length and standard metric sizing make this socket suitable for tasks where access is confined yet reliable torque transfer is required.

Advantages

The socket offers a precise 24 mm fit for hex heads, ensuring secure engagement and reduced rounding of fastener corners. Its 76 mm length provides additional reach compared to standard shallow sockets while remaining compact enough for limited-access areas. Designed to mate with 1/2" drive tools, the socket supports common workshop torque applications and is compatible with extension bars and universal joints for extended versatility.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance (engine, suspension, wheel fasteners)
• Industrial machinery assembly and servicing
• General workshop and garage tasks with 24 mm hex fasteners
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, breaker bars and extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket diameter (size): 24 mm
• Overall length: 76 mm
• Designed for hexagonal fasteners
• Compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, breaker bars and extensions

How to use

Select a 24 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar. Position the socket squarely over the fastener head, apply steady turning force and avoid sudden impacts when using hand tools. For fasteners requiring higher torque, use an appropriate breaker bar or torque wrench and follow the fastener manufacturer's torque settings. When working in confined spaces, consider pairing the socket with a suitable extension or universal joint to improve access.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket for wear or damage before each use and keep mating surfaces clean to maintain secure engagement. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safe torque practices. Store the socket in a tool organizer to prevent corrosion and to maintain readiness for professional and DIY tasks.
