Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket Metric Standard-7MM (4932478337)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478337

A 7mm standard socket for 3/8in drive, chrome plated with a stamped size. A 7mm hex is the usual head on many worm-drive hose clips, so with this on a three-eighths ratchet and extension you can reach the clips on radiator, heater and intake hoses from above, without switching to a smaller kit.

Good to know

• Is a ratchet better than a screwdriver on hose clips? Usually. A slotted screwdriver can slip and gouge the hose or your hand; a snug socket turns the clip screw smoothly and grips even when the slot is clogged.
• How tight should the clip be? Just enough to stop the hose turning on its pipe. Overtightening cuts the hose and can strip the clip's band.
• Will every clip be 7mm? No. Some heavier clips take 8mm and miniature clips smaller, so check before you start.

Which one?

For a clip screw buried deep, the Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket Metric Deep-7MM (4932478351); a flexible ratchet helps on awkward clips: the Carlyle 3/8in Drive Flexible Ratchet with Comfort Grip (R38LF120).
