Impact socket 1/4" drive YATO YT-1423, single head, aluminium, 50 mm length

The Impact socket 1/4" drive YATO YT-1423 is a single-head aluminium socket designed for use with 1/4" impact drivers and ratchets. With a 50 mm overall length and compact profile, this socket is intended for light to medium fastening and maintenance tasks where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option is preferred. Supplied as an individual head in a box, the component balances portability and service life for routine workshop and field applications.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers reduced weight compared with steel alternatives while providing adequate strength for light to medium torque applications. Precision machining ensures a secure fit on fasteners and compatibility with standard 1/4" drive accessories. The compact 50 mm length improves access in confined spaces and simplifies storage and transport. The product follows YATO quality standards for durability and resistance under regular workshop use.

Suitable for

• Light to medium tightening and loosening of bolts and nuts
• Maintenance and repair tasks in automotive and machinery contexts
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach spaces where a compact socket is needed
• Mobile service kits and compact tool sets

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Material: aluminium
• Configuration: single head socket
• Overall length: 50 mm
• Packaging: boxed single unit

How to use

Select the socket and attach it to a compatible 1/4" drive wrench, ratchet or impact driver. Ensure the socket fully engages the drive square before applying torque. Position the socket over the fastener and apply steady torque appropriate to the fastener grade and application; avoid exceeding the recommended torque for aluminium sockets to prevent deformation. After use, clean off debris and store the socket in a dry place to limit corrosion and maintain fit accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with 1/4" drive tools rated for the intended torque range; avoid heavy-impact or high-torque industrial operations better suited to steel impact sockets. Inspect the socket and fastener interfaces regularly for wear and replace if rounding or cracking appears. For prolonged service life, keep the socket clean and store in a protected tool case.
