Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket Metric Deep-18MM (4932478362)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478362

A deep 18mm chrome socket for 3/8in drive tools. An M12 bolt usually has an 18mm or 19mm head on European cars, so 18mm turns up on heavier brackets and mounts, and this long-bodied version reaches over the stud or long bolt that a short socket would bottom out on.

Good to know

• Is it the right drive for M12 work? For moderate torques, yes. M12 bolts on suspension or subframes are often done up hard, so free them with a 1/2in breaker bar and tighten to the maker's figure with a torque wrench.
• How do I tell 18mm from 19mm? Try the socket. A 19mm on an 18mm head turns a little before it grips; that small slip is what rounds corners.
• Can a spanner turn it? Yes. Its outer flats take an open-ended spanner, handy when there is no room to swing a ratchet.
