Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket, Metric Standard-10MM (4932478340)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478340

A standard-length 10mm socket for 3/8in drive, chrome with a stamped size. Ten millimetres is the head size met most often on modern cars, on battery clamps, covers, brackets and trim fixings, and it is also the socket most often lost under a car, so a spare or replacement rarely goes amiss.

Good to know

• Which battery terminal goes first? Disconnect the negative clamp first and refit it last, so the spanner cannot short the positive terminal to the body.
• How tight should 10mm bolts go? Usually not very. Many hold plastic covers or go into aluminium, and an M6 thread strips easily; nip them up by feel or to the maker's figure.
• Deep or standard? Standard for flush heads and low clearance; deep where the nut sits on a long stud, as on many battery hold-downs.

Which one?

For 10mm nuts on long threads, the Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket Metric Deep-10MM (4932478354); a small handle that suits it is the Carlyle 3/8in Drive 90-Tooth Stubby Ratchet 119mm Long (CR3890S).
