Socket 1/2" YATO YT-12531, Metric socket Ø22 mm, Length 64 mm

YATO YT-12531 is a 1/2" drive metric socket with a 22 mm diameter and a 64 mm length. It is designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and extensions and fits metric hex fasteners. The medium-length construction balances access to recessed nuts with the leverage and control expected from a 1/2" drive socket, making it suitable for routine automotive and machinery service tasks as well as general mechanical repairs.

Advantages

The socket’s 22 mm internal profile provides a secure fit on hexagonal heads and reduces the risk of rounding. Its 64 mm length offers improved reach into semi-recessed fasteners while maintaining torsional strength for typical workshop loads. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools ensures straightforward integration into common professional and hobbyist tool sets.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Industrial and machinery servicing
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets and extension bars

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Socket type: metric hex socket
• Nominal size: 22 mm
• Overall length: 64 mm
• Application: medium-length access to semi-recessed fasteners

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or extension. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque. For removal or installation of recessed nuts, combine the socket with a suitable extension; maintain steady, controlled force to avoid sudden release. Inspect the socket and fastener contact surfaces for wear or damage before use.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket within the rated capacity of your drive tool and avoid applying impact force unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Store the socket in a dry environment and clean off debris after each use to preserve fit and performance.
