Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 3/8 STD 12mm-1 Piece (4932480269)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480269

This 12mm socket, Milwaukee part 4932480269, is a standard-length six-point impact socket for 3/8in square drive, made from SHOCKWAVE chrome-molybdenum. Many Japanese cars use 12mm heads on M8 bolts, so it gets plenty of work on Japanese engines and bodywork as well as on other makes' brackets.

Good to know

• 12mm or 13mm? Try the smaller first. A 13mm on a 12mm head feels close but will slip and round it, especially on a gun.
• Will it fit an air ratchet? Yes; any 3/8in square drive takes it, and as an impact socket it copes with air tools and cordless impact wrenches as well as hand ratchets.
• What are the side hole and groove for? They take a retaining pin and rubber ring that lock the socket to an impact wrench's anvil; on a hand ratchet you can leave them off.

Which one?

The Carlyle 3/8in Drive 90-Tooth Ratchet 240mm Long (CR3890) drives it by hand; for a 12mm nut with a long thread through it, the Milwaukee 3/8'' Drive Metric Deep 12-Point Socket – 12mm (4932498816) gives the reach.
