Socket YATO YT-1275, 1/2" drive, metric socket, 22 mm diameter, 38 mm length

YATO YT-1275 is a single 22 mm metric socket for 1/2" drive tools, with a 38 mm overall length. Designed to fit common ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches, this socket is intended for standard fastening and maintenance tasks in automotive, mechanical and general workshop environments. Its straightforward design provides a reliable interface between hand or power drive tools and hex fasteners sized for a 22 mm socket.

Advantages

The socket offers a precise 22 mm fit to minimize rounding of fastener heads and ensure secure engagement. Its 38 mm length provides adequate reach for slightly recessed bolts while retaining good control and accessibility in confined spaces. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools makes it suitable for medium and heavy-duty tightening or loosening operations using ratchets, torque wrenches or impact adapters designed for this drive size.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and engine fasteners sized for 22 mm
• Workshop maintenance and mechanical assembly tasks
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars
• Repairs requiring moderate reach into slightly recessed bolt heads

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Socket size: 22 mm (metric)
• Overall length: 38 mm
• Type: single hex socket for standard fasteners
• Intended use: manual or wrench-driven tightening/loosening

How to use

Select the 22 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely over the fastener, apply steady pressure and operate the drive tool according to the required torque or turning direction. For torque-critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and confirm torque values per manufacturer specifications. Inspect the socket before use for signs of wear or damage and replace if deformation or excessive wear is present.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with properly sized 1/2" drive accessories and avoid side loading the socket. Store in a dry tool chest to prevent corrosion and check fastener engagement visually before applying high torque.
