The Milwaukee Shockwave 9 mm X 3/8 in. drive Metric 6 Point Deep Impact Socket is engineered to tackle metric fasteners with power and precision. Built from forged steel and designed specifically for impact use, this deep socket stands up to demanding torque without flaring or warping, giving you dependable performance job after job.
Why this socket stands out:
-
Deep 9 mm size reaches recessed fasteners and tight spots where standard shallow sockets can’t reach, helping you work faster in cramped spaces.
-
3/8 in drive is a versatile mid-range option that pairs with most impact wrenches and driver tools commonly used in automotive, mechanical, and workshop settings.
-
6-point design grips the flats of hex fasteners more securely than many 12-point alternatives, reducing rounding and cam-out under heavy torque.
-
forged steel, impact rated construction delivers the durability you need for repeated impacts and tough fasteners, extending tool life in the shop or on the job site.
-
2.5-inch length provides extra reach for deep-fastener access without sacrificing control or balance during twisting motions.
-
Carded packaging keeps your tool organized and ready for quick setup in a crowded toolbox or job trailer.
Ideal applications include automotive maintenance, motorcycle and equipment servicing, and general metric fastener work in machinery or industrial settings. If you’re a professional technician or a seasoned DIYer tackling engines, suspensions, or heavy equipment assemblies, this socket delivers reliable engagement and torque where it counts.
Usage guidance — pair the socket with a 3/8 in drive impact wrench or ratchet, align squarely with the fastener, and apply steady torque to avoid cam-out. Its deep profile helps you work in recessed areas, while the six points maximize grip on hex fasteners to reduce the chance of stripping.
With the Milwaukee Shockwave line, you’re choosing a purpose-built tool that prioritizes durability, reach, and secure fastener engagement in demanding tasks. Add the 9 mm x 3/8 in. drive Metric 6 Point Deep Impact Socket to your toolkit and experience confidence when the job demands high torque and precise fit.
