Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 3/8 deep 7mm-1 Piece (4932480281)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480281

This is the 7mm member of Milwaukee's SHOCKWAVE deep socket line, part 4932480281: a 3/8in drive, six-point impact socket in chrome-molybdenum. Seven millimetres is the head size of most worm-drive hose clips and of M4 nuts, so this one earns its place on cooling, intake and heater hose jobs as well as small brackets.

Good to know

• Can I tighten hose clips with it on a gun? Only gently. An impact wrench can crush a rubber hose or strip the clip's band in a second, so run the clip down with the gun if you like and finish it by hand.
• What are the hole and groove on the side for? They take a retaining pin and rubber ring that lock the socket to the anvil of an impact wrench, so it can't fly off or stay stuck on the nut.
• Why choose the deep version for hose clips? The clip's screw often sits at an awkward angle close to the hose, and the longer body lets the ratchet clear the pipework around it.

Which one?

Small hose clips often take the next size down, the Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 3/8 deep 6mm (4932480280); bigger clips and M5 nuts take the 8mm deep (4932480282).
