Milwaukee 1/4 Drive Socket Metric Standard-5MM (4932478312)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478312

This is a 5mm standard-length socket for 1/4in drive tools, in chrome with its size stamped on the body. It is a handy pick for small hex-head screws on interior and engine-bay fittings, and for any 5mm head that sits too close to a panel for a spanner to get a proper hold.

Good to know

• Is this a hex key socket? No. This socket fits over the outside of a 5mm hex head; for a screw with a hex recess in its top you want a hex bit socket instead.
• Why not just use pliers? Grips crush small heads and slip, leaving burrs that stop a socket ever fitting again. A snug socket turns the head without marking it.
• Any tip for refitting? Start the screw by hand, then nip it up with the socket. Small screws often go into plastic or alloy and strip if driven hard.

Which one?

For internal-hex screws, the Milwaukee 1/4in Drive Metric Hex Bit Socket Set – 6 Piece (4932480566) is the right tool; the Milwaukee 10 Piece 1/4 Dr Std Metric Socket Set (4932501800) covers a run of sizes in one go.
