Milwaukee 3/8 Drive Socket Metric Standard-13MM (4932478343)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478343

A standard-length 13mm socket for the 3/8in drive, in chrome. On European cars an M8 bolt usually carries a 13mm head, which makes this one of the two sizes, alongside 10mm, that you reach for most, on brackets, ancillaries, thermostat housings, mounts and a long list of engine-bay fixings.

Good to know

• Why do 13mm sockets wear out or go missing first? Because they are used so much. A spare 13mm saves hunting for the one left on top of the engine.
• How tight should a 13mm bolt into aluminium go? To the maker's figure if given; otherwise firm but not heavy. Small bolts threaded into aluminium parts such as covers, housings and sumps strip easily, so tighten them by feel or to the maker's figure rather than with a long bar.
• Deep or standard? Standard where the head is flush and room is short; deep for nuts sitting on studs, such as manifolds.

Which one?
