4mm socket?

[90zcar]

Does anyone use a 4mm socket for anything? I have never personally used one. My 1/4" set starts at 5mm and I don't even know if I use 5. I used a 5.5 earlier today on a multi function switch on a ford explorer.
Just wondering if I should grab a 4 next time I'm on the tool truck or forget about it

If I recall correctly, I used a 4 mm socket to remove the headlight cluster on my father in law's Chrysler minivan.

I used to used a 4mm to adjust crown vic headlights.

4mm = .03937*4 = .15748
5/32" = .15625

Should be close enough to work.

I use 4, 4.5, 5, and 5.5 on clutch, throttle and shifter cable ******* on vespa scooters.

I have use a 4.5mm socket before working on HVAC stuff on cars.

Some Apple computers take 4mm but that would be a Wiha nut driver.

Used the 4mm to do the headlight adjustment on a Dodge Neon.

Good for giving wiper arms a tap to adjust the slack in them [emoji108][emoji1]

I've use it a couple of times during my lifetime. You may never use it everyday but when you need it its there. I'd get one if i was you, a small socket like this shouldn't cost much

When is it ever a good excuse not to buy a tool?

I would buy a 3mm if they made it you never know....I have used a 4mm on the distributer cap of my Nissan truck and the grille of my granddads ranger

The oddball really tiny metric sockets I have are chinese ones plucked out of those cheapo sets you find dirt cheap at yard sales. For how often they are used, and the fact that most of the time you are dealing with a tiny screw that is going into plastic I could not justify the expense of buying name brand when I already had the cheap ones.

If I need a 4mm I am going nut driver instead of ratchet. I wouldn't think something that small could withstand much torque from a ratchet.

I used a 2.5mm allen wrench the other day on an eMac computer.

 

[jethro29]

i have used a four mm socket several times when removing the dash for heater core replacement on dodge intrepids I think.

5/32 works just fine. Let the pro-metric rants begin.
