Socket YATO YT-1421 1/4" drive, 50 mm length, single piece

YATO YT-1421 is a single 1/4" drive socket with a 50 mm length, designed for use with 1/4" drive ratchets and torque tools. The compact length offers access to fasteners in confined spaces while maintaining effective torque transfer for bolts and nuts used in light to medium fastening tasks across automotive, electronics, and general maintenance work.

Advantages

This 1/4" drive socket combines a slim profile with a solid drive connection to deliver secure engagement and reliable torque transmission. Its 50 mm length balances reach and control, enabling work in tighter areas without excessive leverage loss. Manufactured to common industry tolerances, the socket fits standard 1/4" drive tool interfaces and is suitable for repeated use in workshop and field settings.

Suitable for

• Automotive light repairs and component access
• Electronics assembly and maintenance where compact tools are needed
• General household and professional maintenance tasks
• Tight or confined spaces requiring moderate reach

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" (male square drive interface)
• Length: 50 mm
• Unit type: single socket piece
• Intended applications: light to medium fastening tasks
• Compatibility: standard 1/4" drive ratchets and torque tools

How to use

Attach the socket to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or torque wrench by aligning the square drive and pushing until it clicks or seats firmly. Place the socket over the fastener head, ensuring full contact to avoid rounding. Apply torque smoothly and avoid sudden impacts unless the socket and drive are rated for impact use. After use, wipe the socket clean and store it in a designated rack or case to maintain condition and fit.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket within the torque limits of the connected tool and select a matched fastener size to prevent damage. Avoid using small hand sockets with high-impact air tools unless they are specifically rated for impact service. Regular inspection for wear and deformation will extend service life and maintain safe operation.
