Socket 1/2" Metric YATO YT-1237 — 2.8 cm diameter, 76 mm length

YATO YT-1237 is a 1/2" drive metric socket engineered for fastening and loosening metric fasteners. With a 2.8 cm outer diameter and a 76 mm length, this socket is compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and impact drivers that accept 1/2" drives. The design focuses on a reliable fit on hex fasteners and access to recessed or deep-seated nuts and bolts found in automotive and industrial applications.

Advantages

The socket provides a balance of reach and clearance thanks to its 76 mm length and 2.8 cm diameter, allowing access to recessed fasteners while maintaining good torque transfer. Manufactured to meet professional use expectations, it offers consistent engagement with hex heads to reduce rounding and slipping. Its 1/2" drive compatibility ensures interchangeability with common hand and power tools used in workshops and maintenance settings.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance — wheel hubs, suspension, engine components
• Industrial assembly and disassembly tasks requiring metric sockets
• General maintenance and repair where extended reach is needed
• Use with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and compatible impact tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Outer diameter: 2.8 cm
• Length: 76 mm
• Type: metric socket designed for hex fasteners
• Intended use: fastening and loosening of metric nuts and bolts

How to use

Select the socket size that matches the fastener and push it firmly onto the 1/2" drive of your ratchet, torque wrench or impact driver. Ensure full seating of the square drive detent or retaining pin before applying torque. When using power tools, apply controlled torque and avoid sudden impacts where possible to prevent fastener or tool damage. After use, clean debris from the socket and store it in a dedicated socket rail or organizer to maintain condition and ensure easy retrieval.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use the socket with tools rated for the intended torque. Inspect the fastener and socket contact surfaces before applying high torque; replace any rounded or damaged sockets. When working on critical assemblies, use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve specified torque values and ensure safety and proper fastening.
