1/4" Hex Socket 12 mm YT-1411 YATO
A hex socket with a 1/4-inch drive and a 12 mm socket size, made from chrome vanadium steel. Designed for use with 1/4-inch ratchets, spinner handles and extension bars.
Features of the 1/4" hex socket
1/4-inch drive
The 1/4" (6.35 mm) standard refers to the size of the square drive, which works with ratchets and spinner handles of the same size. It is the smallest of the standard drive sizes, used for precision work at low torque (typically up to 40 Nm). It performs well in confined spaces and on small fasteners.
12 mm socket size
The 12 mm marking refers to the size of the socket's hex opening, which must match the size of the bolt head or nut. Before buying, check that the fasteners require this particular size – the measurement can be taken with a vernier calliper or by checking the technical documentation of the equipment.
Chrome vanadium steel (CrV)
A steel alloy with added chromium and vanadium is characterised by increased hardness, wear resistance and flexibility. Chromium increases corrosion resistance, while vanadium improves mechanical strength. This material gives the tool durability under repeated use and dynamic loads.
Hex profile
The hexagonal shape of the socket's interior distributes forces across six points of contact with the fastener, which minimises the risk of rounding off the edges of a bolt or nut. This profile is standard in most workshop and assembly applications, providing a secure grip and safe transfer of torque.

Applications of the 12 mm socket with 1/4" drive
- Service work on petrol and diesel engines – fitting covers, valves and intake systems
- Work on vehicle electrical and electronic systems – connectors, control module mounts
- Fitting and removal of vehicle interior trim – consoles, brackets, panels
- Work on plumbing installations – fittings, clamps, pipe brackets
- Fitting domestic appliances and consumer electronics – casing screws, mounting brackets
- Servicing electronic and computer equipment – casings, mounting plates
- Carpentry and furniture work – connectors, hinges, drawer runners
- Maintenance of power and air tools – casing and accessory screws
Tool compatibility
The socket works with all tools that have a 1/4-inch square drive: ratchets, spinner handles, torque screwdrivers, extension bars and universal joints. Before use, check that the torque range of the driving tool matches the requirements of the bolted joint in question – for a 1/4" drive, typically up to 40 Nm.
Use and maintenance
Before first use, check that the socket sits correctly on the drive of the tool – you should feel resistance when fitting it, and the connection should be secure with no play. During work, fit the socket onto the fastener perpendicular to the axis of the bolt to avoid misalignment and damage to the profile.
After each use, clean the socket of dirt, oil and dust with a brush or compressed air. In workshop conditions, it is worth periodically applying a thin layer of a corrosion inhibitor, especially where there is contact with moisture or chemicals. Storing it in an organiser or tool box protects it from mechanical damage and loss.
Markings on the socket
Most YATO sockets have the size (12 mm) permanently engraved or stamped on the outer surface of the body. This makes it easy to identify the tool quickly in a set and eliminates mistakes during work. It is advisable to check the legibility of the markings periodically and to restore them if they become worn.
