Socket set YATO YT-1419 — 1/4" drive, Metric sockets, 12 mm (Ø 1.2 cm), 50 mm length

YATO YT-1419 is a compact 1/4" drive socket set with metric sockets, each 12 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length. The set is designed for precision fastening tasks where access is limited and a hand-held tool is required. It is suitable for light-to-medium assembly, maintenance and repair operations on automotive, electronics and household equipment that use small fasteners.

Advantages

The sockets provide consistent fit on metric fasteners thanks to accurate machining and a standard 1/4" drive interface that is compatible with a wide range of ratchets and extensions. The 50 mm length offers extra reach into recessed or confined areas while the 12 mm diameter fits common small bolts and nuts. The compact size reduces weight and increases maneuverability for detailed work in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Automotive light repairs and trim work where small metric fasteners are used
• Electronics assembly and maintenance requiring precise, compact tools
• Household appliance repair and furniture assembly in tight spaces
• General maintenance tasks where a 1/4" drive and 12 mm socket are needed

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Socket metric size: 12 mm (Ø 1.2 cm)
• Socket length: 50 mm
• Socket type: metric, single-size sockets suitable for small fasteners
• Intended use: hand-operated fastening with ratchets, T-handles or extensions

How to use

Select a socket of the correct metric size and attach it to a compatible 1/4" ratchet or extension. Place the socket squarely over the fastener head and apply steady torque using the ratchet or T-handle. For recessed fasteners, use the 50 mm length to reach deeper positions; for limited clearance, operate with short strokes to avoid slipping. Inspect the socket and fastener before use to ensure proper engagement and avoid rounding fastener heads.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible 1/4" drive ratchets, extensions or driver adapters. Avoid using the sockets with impact tools unless they are specifically rated for impact use. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the drive interface to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Store the sockets in a suitable organizer to protect edges and maintain size identification.
