Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty 1/2 in. Drive 6-Point Deep Socket

Milwaukee 49-66-6227 SHOCKWAVE 1/2" Drive 13/16" Deep 6-Point Impact Socket

The Milwaukee 49-66-6227 is a SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty 1/2" drive, 13/16" deep, 6-point socket engineered for use with impact wrenches on professional job sites. Built as part of Milwaukee's SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty accessory lineup, this socket is designed to stand up to the repeated high-torque impacts generated by pneumatic and cordless impact wrenches, rather than being limited to hand-ratchet duty. The 6-point opening delivers a secure grip on fastener heads to help reduce rounding on stubborn or corroded hardware, while the 13/16" deep socket profile provides the extra clearance needed to reach fasteners on longer bolts, studs, and recessed applications where a standard-depth socket won't seat fully. A 1/2" square drive makes this socket compatible with the 1/2" drive impact wrenches and ratchets commonly used across automotive, industrial, and construction trades, giving techs and installers a single accessory that can move between vehicle service bays, equipment assembly lines, and general job-site fastening work.

Key Features
