What do you use a 4.5mm socket on?

[hautpot]

I have this 4.5mm socket and was wondering what kind of machinery use this size.

Not a common socket, but I bought a 4.5mm socket to add to my 1/4 drive set 'just in case' I run into one someday.

ahh thanks, I forgot we had a search function!

I bought the 4.5mm with the same intention.

Just like every other socket, I use my 4.5mm on a ratchet.

I just wanted to jump in on the smart **** replies and offer no help. Also, the only reason I have a 4.5mm socket is because the socket tray has a spot for it and I suffer from the standard OCD running rampant in this forum.

Only time I've ever used one was on a 2014 Honda Civic air box screws.

They are very common on D's.

I don't remember what for, but I used my 4.5mm socket before. I remember thinking how I was glad to have that odd size.

GM distributor caps.

I got one, I was a GM mechanic but I don't remember what it was for. Possibly a distributor cap as the above post.

I ran into a 4.5mm fastener inside a DVD player. Not a common size but my organizer had a space for it so I had to get one to fill in the empty spot!

 

[hautpot]

hmm... seems like 4.5mm is on alot of things. I wonder why it isn't included in more socket sets

GM distributor caps.

Those are 5.5mm. 7/32" works.

 

[themiller]

IIRC the 2008 Fusion blower fan screws were either 4.5 or 5.5mm. The only time I have used (1) of those 2 sizes.

 

[royesses]

Many Ford cars use them on interior panels and speakers.

 

[Antique Engine]

It's been a while but seems like Ford TFI ignition modules might have used them. I remember having to buy a particular socket for them back in the day.
