Milwaukee Shockwave 1/4 in. SAE 6-Point Deep Impact Socket on a 3/8 in drive is engineered for serious torque and tight spaces. Forged from high-strength steel and built to withstand impact abuse, this deep socket delivers reliable performance when the going gets tough, whether you’re in a shop, garage, or harsh job site.
Why this socket stands out
-
Deep reach for recessed fasteners: The 2.5-inch length lets you access bolts and studs tucked inside assemblies, saving time and avoiding awkward disassembly.
-
6-point grip: A six-point design provides superior engagement with hex fasteners, reducing cam-out and minimizing rounding in high-torque situations.
-
Shockwave durability: Milwaukee’s Shockwave construction is engineered for extended life under repeated impacts, so you can rely on longer service between replacements.
-
1/4 in. socket size on a 3/8 in. drive: Perfect for small fasteners with enough drive to handle demanding tasks, while maintaining compatibility with a broad range of impact tools.
-
Impact rated: Specifically built to stand up to hammering and torque from impact wrenches and drivers without deforming.
Ideal uses and scenarios
This socket is tailor-made for precision work where space is at a premium and fasteners are small but stubborn. Use it for:
- Automotive maintenance on dashboards, engine compartments, and electrical housings where recessed fasteners hide beneath components.
- Heavy equipment repairs in cramped compartments where traditional sockets can’t reach.
- Bicycle, motorcycle, and small-engine projects that require reliable engagement with 1/4 in. SAE fasteners.
- Frequent repairs with impact tools that demand a durable, long-lasting socket that won’t round off corners.
