Socket set YATO YT-1289 — 1/2" drive, metric sockets, 42 mm length, 3 cm diameter

YATO YT-1289 is a metric socket set made for use with a 1/2" drive. Each socket in the set measures 42 mm in overall length and has an outer diameter of 3 cm. The kit is intended for standard metric fasteners and is suitable for workshop, automotive and maintenance tasks that require medium-length sockets compatible with a 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar.

Advantages

The sockets offer uniform length of 42 mm which helps reach recessed bolts while keeping good access in confined spaces. The 3 cm outer diameter provides a balance between strength and accessibility. Designed for use with a 1/2" drive, the set is compatible with common ratchets and extensions, enabling straightforward interchangeability with other 1/2" accessories. Metric sizing ensures compatibility with standard metric fasteners used in vehicles and machinery.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and wheel or engine work where metric sockets are required
• General workshop maintenance and assembly tasks
• Servicing of machinery and equipment with metric fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket length: 42 mm
• Outer diameter: 30 mm (3 cm)
• Measurement system: metric

How to use

Select the socket with the appropriate metric size for the fastener. Fit the socket onto a compatible 1/2" ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Place the socket squarely over the fastener head, apply steady force and turn the drive tool to tighten or loosen the fastener. Use extensions or universal joints as needed to access fasteners in confined or recessed locations. Inspect sockets before use for signs of wear or damage and replace any compromised pieces.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, pair the sockets with a matched 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench and apply torque within the rated limits of the drive tool. Avoid using damaged sockets and do not modify sockets to fit non-metric fasteners.
