Socket YATO YT-3807, 3/8" drive, metric socket, diameter 1.7 cm, length 28 mm

YATO YT-3807 is a metric socket with a 3/8" drive, designed for tightening and loosening metric fasteners. The socket has an external diameter of 1.7 cm and a length of 28 mm, and is compatible with standard 3/8" ratchets, extensions and adapters. Intended for mechanical, automotive and general maintenance tasks, this single socket is made to fit common metric bolt and nut sizes and to integrate into socket sets and toolkits.

Advantages

The socket’s compact 28 mm length provides access in moderate to shallow recesses while maintaining good torque transfer. A 3/8" drive ensures compatibility with widely used ratchets and extensions, offering a balance between strength and maneuverability. The metric sizing delivers precise engagement with metric fasteners to reduce rounding and slippage. Built to industry-standard dimensions, the socket is suitable for both professional workshops and DIY use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly
• General workshop and household repairs
• Integration into socket sets and portable toolkits

Key specifications

• Drive type: 3/8" (square drive)
• Metric socket format
• External diameter: 1.7 cm
• Length: 28 mm
• Intended for use with compatible ratchets, extensions and adapters

How to use

Select a ratchet or extension with a 3/8" square drive and attach the socket securely. Place the socket squarely onto the fastener head, ensuring full seating on the nut or bolt before applying torque. Use controlled force appropriate to the fastener and application; for high-torque requirements consider a longer or larger-drive socket. After use, clean the socket from grease and debris and store it in a dry toolkit or socket rail to prevent corrosion and maintain fitment.

Usage recommendations

Match the socket size precisely to the fastener to avoid rounding. Do not use the socket on impact tools unless it is specifically rated for impact use. Inspect the square drive and socket walls regularly for wear; replace if deformation or cracking appears. For higher torque or hard-to-reach places, pair with suitable extensions or adapters and consider using torque-limiting tools where necessary.
