Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 3/8 deep 6mm-1 Piece (4932480280)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480280

Milwaukee's 4932480280 is a single 6mm deep socket in 3/8in drive from the SHOCKWAVE impact range, forged in chrome-molybdenum steel with a six-point hex. The long body lets it slide down over a screw thread that stands proud of its nut, where a shallow 6mm socket would bottom out, and it is built to take an impact wrench's hammering.

Good to know

• Where does a 6mm socket get used on a car? On the small stuff: the screw heads of little hose clips, and small nuts and screws on brackets, trim panels and covers.
• Can I run it on a cordless impact driver? Yes, through a 1/4in hex to 3/8in square adaptor, which is a quick way to spin off a row of small nuts. Keep the chain short, as every adaptor adds wobble.
• What if the nut is seized? A fixing this small will round or snap long before the socket gives up, so soak it in penetrating oil and use steady hand pressure on a short ratchet rather than a long bar.

Which one?

Where no thread sticks up, the shorter Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 3/8 STD 6mm (4932480263) sits lower; to drive it from an impact driver, the Milwaukee Adaptor ShW 3/8in SQ to 1/4in Hex (4932493426) does the job.
