Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 1/2 STD 18mm-1 Piece (4932480312)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480312

Milwaukee's 18mm ShockWave socket for 1/2in impact wrenches and ratchets, standard length, with a 6-point grip. 18mm falls in the band used for suspension arm, subframe and engine-mount bolts on many cars, the kind of tight, weathered fixing an impact socket is made for.

Good to know

• Gun or breaker bar on subframe bolts? Either for removal, but large subframe and arm bolts often have high torques and some are one-use, so check the manual before refitting.
• How do I stop the bolt just spinning? Many arm bolts pass through a bush with a nut on the far side; hold that with a spanner or a second socket while the gun works.
• Why 6-point on suspension bolts? Road salt and rust eat the corners of underbody nuts; six flats bear on the sides, so a weathered head is less likely to round.
