Socket YATO YT-1408, 1/4" drive, 25 mm length, single piece

YATO YT-1408 is a single 1/4" drive socket with a 25 mm overall length designed for use with ratchets and driver tools. Its compact profile allows access to confined spaces where standard sockets cannot reach. Supplied as a single piece, the socket is intended for light mechanical, automotive and assembly work that requires reaching small fasteners with reliable fit and controlled torque transfer.

Advantages

The short 25 mm length reduces leverage interference in tight assemblies while maintaining sufficient engagement on fastener heads. A 1/4" drive interface ensures compatibility with common ratchets, bit adapters and torque drivers used in workshops and by DIY enthusiasts. The single-piece supply makes it easy to replace or carry as a spare without a full set. The socket's compact design aids in precise handling and helps prevent rounding of small fasteners when used with the correct drive tool.

Suitable for

• Light automotive repair and maintenance tasks
• Assembly of furniture, electronics enclosures and small appliances
• General workshop use where space is limited
• DIY projects requiring access to recessed or closely spaced fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Overall length: 25 mm
• Supply: single piece
• Application: sockets for ratchets and driver tools

How to use

Attach the socket to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, bit adapter or torque driver until it locks securely. Place the socket squarely onto the fastener head and apply steady torque, avoiding excessive force that could damage the fastener. For confined spaces, ensure the tool and socket are aligned to minimize slipping. After use, wipe the socket clean and store in a dry toolbox or socket rail to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with the appropriate 1/4" drive tool and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Match socket size carefully to the fastener to reduce rounding; when higher torque is required, use a longer or appropriately sized socket and a torque-limited driver to protect both fastener and tool.
