Socket YATO YT-1254 1/2" drive, metric socket, 2.78 cm diameter, 64 mm length

YATO YT-1254 is a metric socket designed for 1/2" drive tools, with a 2.78 cm (27.8 mm) outer diameter and a length of 64 mm. It is intended for tightening and loosening metric fasteners in automotive, industrial and maintenance settings. The socket fits standard 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions and is sized to access bolts and nuts where a longer reach is required than with a standard short socket.

Advantages

The socket provides precise engagement with metric fasteners due to its metric profile and consistent internal geometry. Its 64 mm length offers additional reach for recessed or hard-to-access nuts while maintaining compatibility with common 1/2" drive accessories. Designed for repeated use with ratchets and torque tools, the socket balances accessibility and strength for general workshop and field tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance — wheel, engine and suspension fasteners
• Industrial assembly and maintenance tasks requiring 1/2" drive tools
• Workshop use with ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars
• Situations needing extra reach to access recessed metric nuts and bolts

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket type: metric
• Outer diameter: 2.78 cm (27.8 mm)
• Length: 64 mm
• Compatibility: designed for use with ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions matching 1/2" drive

How to use

Select the socket to match the metric fastener size and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Ensure full engagement with the fastener head before applying torque. For tightening, apply steady pressure and observe torque specifications when using a torque wrench. For loosening, apply controlled force to avoid rounding fastener edges. Remove the socket after use and inspect for wear or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use this socket with properly rated drive tools and extensions. Keep contact surfaces clean and use appropriate lubrication or anti-seize where specified by fastener manufacturers. Replace the socket if signs of rounding, cracking or excessive wear appear to maintain safe and accurate torque transfer.
