Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket Metric Deep-8MM (4932478352)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478352

An 8mm deep socket for three-eighths drive in chrome. Eight millimetres is the hex on many heavier hose clips and on small bolts and nuts around the engine bay; the deep body reaches screws sunk between hoses and nuts on studs, and lets you work from a 3/8in ratchet and extension.

Good to know

• Will it fit my hose clip? Worm-drive hose clips on cars commonly have a 7mm or 8mm hex on the screw, with smaller heads on miniature clips. Try it on the clip before you start.
• Why not just a screwdriver on the clip? A slotted screwdriver often slips out and can scar the hose or your hand. A snug socket turns the screw steadily.
• How do I avoid damaging an 8mm fixing? Push the socket fully on, keep the ratchet in line and stop when it is snug; small fixings strip easily in aluminium.
