Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 3/8 deep 8mm-1 Piece (4932480282)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480282

Part 4932480282 is Milwaukee's 8mm deep socket for 3/8in drive, impact rated and made from SHOCKWAVE chrome-molybdenum steel. An 8mm head turns up on M5 nuts and bolts and on larger hose clips, so on a car it covers things like air box lids, heat shields, undertray fixings and sensor brackets.

Good to know

• Deep or standard for 8mm? Pick deep when a bolt or stud sticks out past the nut, or when you need reach past a lip; a standard socket is shorter and fits better where there is little height above the fastener.
• Why does a six-point socket matter on small nuts? It pushes on the flats of the nut rather than its corners, so a rusty 8mm heat-shield nut is less likely to round off before it moves.
• Will chrome sockets do the same job? On a hand ratchet, yes, but keep chrome sockets off an impact wrench: they can crack under the blows, which is why this one is made in impact steel.

Which one?

For low-clearance 8mm fixings the Milwaukee Hex socket ShW 3/8 STD 8mm (4932480265) is shorter; the 9 Piece deep set (4932480455) gives a run of deep sizes in one go.
