Milwaukee 1/4 Drive Socket Metric Standard-15MM (4932478323)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478323

A single 15mm socket in standard length for a 1/4in drive ratchet. Fifteen millimetres is about as big as quarter-inch drive sensibly goes, so this one earns its place on a 15mm head tucked into a cramped corner where a 3/8in ratchet head simply will not fit, rather than on anything done up hard.

Good to know

• Can I use it to free a stubborn 15mm bolt? Not wisely. A quarter-inch ratchet and socket are built for light work; for a bolt that needs real effort, swap to a 3/8in or 1/2in drive socket of the same size and a longer handle.
• Will it reach a nut on a long stud? Probably not, because a standard-length socket bottoms out on protruding thread before it grips the nut. That job wants the deep version of this size.
• What if there is no room to swing a ratchet? The four flats on the outside of the socket take an open-ended spanner, so you can turn it a few degrees at a time where a handle cannot move.

Which one?

For the same size on heavier work, the Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket Metric Standard-15MM (4932478345) suits a bigger ratchet; to drive this one, the Carlyle 1/4in Drive 90-Tooth Ratchet 135mm Long (CR1490) takes its 1/4in square.
