Milwaukee Tradesman 3/8in ratchet set (12 Piece) (48229001)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 48229001

The Milwaukee Tradesman 48229001 is a compact 12 piece 3/8in drive ratchet set in a portable case. It holds the everyday metric sockets for car work, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm and 19mm, plus a 152mm extension and adaptors between 1/4in and 3/8in drive, so it covers most quick jobs under the bonnet.

Good to know

• Is it enough for a first car toolkit? It covers the commonest bolt heads, including 10mm and 13mm and the 17mm and 19mm wheel nut sizes; add a breaker bar and torque wrench before tackling wheels.
• What are the two adaptors for? One lets the 3/8in ratchet drive 1/4in sockets, the other lets 3/8in sockets go on a 1/4in tool, so you can mix in any small sockets you already own.
• Should I use it on wheel nuts? Use it to spin nuts on and off once they are free; crack tight wheel nuts with a 1/2in breaker bar and finish them with a torque wrench.

Which one?

For a bigger 3/8in kit the Milwaukee 3/8in Drive Ratchet + Socket Set Metric (32 Piece) (4932464945) adds more sizes; to loosen tight wheel nuts, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 750mm Long Breaker Bar (CBB12750M) gives the leverage.
