Milwaukee 1/4IN Ratchet Span Socket Set 42 Piece (4932498382)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932498382

A 42 piece quarter-inch kit that mixes sockets, a stubby ratchet, ratcheting spanners with a flexible head and SHOCKWAVE screwdriver bits in one case. It is aimed at small fasteners in places with little room, such as dashboard and trim work, lamp fixings and cramped corners of the engine bay.

Good to know

• Why both a ratchet and ratcheting spanners? The 90-tooth stubby ratchet needs only about 4 degrees of swing, but some nuts have no clearance above them at all; the flex-head ratcheting spanners, with 144 teeth and about 2.5 degrees of swing, reach in from the side instead.
• Is a quarter-inch kit enough for general car work? It covers small fixings well, but wheel bolts, suspension and anything seized need 3/8in or 1/2in drive tools and more leverage.
• Can the screwdriver bits go in an impact driver? The SHOCKWAVE bits are impact-duty, though short insert bits need a holder in an impact driver; the chrome sockets are hand tools, so keep those on the ratchet.
