Meet the Milwaukee 5.5 mm x 1/4 in. drive Metric 6 Point Standard Socket — a purpose-built tool crafted for precise metric fastener engagement in tight spaces. This is a non-impact socket designed for hand use, delivering reliable torque where space is at a premium and high impact isn’t required.
Built from chrome vanadium steel with a durable chrome finish, this socket delivers lasting performance and corrosion resistance. The 6-point geometry provides superior grip on hex heads, distributing torque more evenly and reducing the likelihood of rounding when dealing with stubborn or partially seized fasteners.
Key specifications at a glance: 5.5 mm metric size, 1/4 in. drive, 6-point standard profile, and an overall length of 4.92 inches. It comes in carded packaging for easy retail display and single-socket convenience. Note: this is not impact-rated, so pair it with standard ratchets or extensions intended for hand-use applications.
Ideal for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work with metric fasteners in automotive, motorcycle, bicycle, and small-engine projects. When space is limited and fastener heads are delicate, the Milwaukee 5.5 mm socket provides a secure, snug fit that minimizes cam-out and protects fastener integrity while delivering dependable torque transfer.
