Milwaukee 3/8” Drive Metric Standard 12-Point Socket – 12mm (4932498804)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932498804

A standard-length 12mm 12-point socket for 3/8in drive, chrome with a stamped size. A 12mm head is the usual M8 size on many Japanese and Korean cars, and this short 12-point socket sits low on the head while picking it up at twice the positions of a hex socket, ideal where both headroom and swing are short.

Good to know

• When does 12-point earn its keep? Behind an engine or under a manifold, where the ratchet only moves a few degrees; twice as many engagement positions means less fumbling.
• When should I swap to a hex-pattern socket? On a tight, rusty or rounded head, where the flats need the firmest grip.
• Will it fit a 12-point bolt head? Yes. A 12-point socket also fits 12-point (bi-hex) nuts and bolts, which a 6-point socket cannot turn.
