Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 1/4 deep 5mm-1 Piece (4932480253)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480253

This 5mm deep impact socket is Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE, 1/4in square drive, six-point. It turns small 5mm hex-head screws and nuts on trim, lamp units and wiring brackets, and its deep body lets it sit over a screw tail. At 0.03 kg packed it is light enough to forget it is on a cordless tool.

Good to know

• Is it worth an impact-rated socket at this size? If you use a cordless impact driver or small impact wrench, yes: chrome sockets can crack on impact tools, while this one is made for it.
• How do I stop small screws stripping? Seat the socket fully, keep the tool square to the screw and stop as soon as it pulls up; small threads in plastic or thin metal strip with little effort.

Which one?

For hand-only use, Milwaukee's chrome 1/4 Drive Socket Metric Deep-5MM (4932478324) is slimmer; the Carlyle 1/4 Drive Ratchet Comfort Grip Handle 160mm Long (CR1490FG) suits it.
