Milwaukee Hex skt. univ. joint ShW 3/8-1 Piece (4932480301)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480301

A 3/8in drive ShockWave impact universal joint, pin-less, with a ball detent to hold the socket. It's the joint for engine-bay work with a cordless impact wrench or ratchet, letting a socket reach bolts tucked behind manifolds, brackets and pipework at an angle.

Good to know

• What's the catch with universal joints? They lose grip as the angle grows and can flop about; where only a slight angle is needed, a wobble extension is steadier.
• Is it fine on a hand ratchet? Yes; impact-rated parts work on hand tools too, and the joint is useful on a ratchet for awkward engine-bay bolts.
• Can I tighten bolts through it? Run the bolt down with it, then do the final tightening straight on with a torque wrench where you can, as a joint at an angle upsets the reading.

Which one?
