Socket 1/2" drive YATO YT-1469, 38 mm length, single piece

YATO YT-1469 is a single 1/2" drive socket with a 38 mm overall length designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. The socket provides a standard interface for fasteners compatible with 1/2" drive systems and is supplied as a single piece. Its mid-length profile balances access in recessed or shallow-penetration applications while still providing sufficient engagement for common automotive, maintenance and assembly fasteners.

Advantages

The socket is made to industry dimensions for reliable fit on corresponding fasteners and 1/2" drive accessories. Its 38 mm length offers a compromise between compactness and reach, helping to access bolts in confined spaces without excessive protrusion. As a single piece tool, it is convenient to add to a mechanic's socket set or keep as a spare in tool bags and service kits.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing where a mid-length 1/2" socket is required
• General maintenance and equipment assembly tasks using 1/2" drive ratchets or torque wrenches
• Workshop and professional service kits as a replacement or complement to socket sets

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Overall length: 38 mm
• Unit: single piece
• Compatibility: standard 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools

How to use

Select the socket matching the fastener size and push it onto the 1/2" drive detent of the ratchet or torque wrench until it locks. Engage the socket on the nut or bolt head ensuring full seating before applying torque. For torque-sensitive applications use a calibrated torque tool and follow the fastener manufacturer's torque specifications. After use, clean any debris or grease from the socket and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible 1/2" drive accessories and the correct fastener size to avoid rounding heads. For high-torque applications verify tool and socket ratings and apply torque gradually. Inspect the socket for wear or damage before use and replace if deformation is observed.
