SHOCKWAVE™ Impact Duty 1/2" Drive 9/16" Deep 6 Point Socket

The Milwaukee 49-66-6223 is a SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty 9/16" deep socket with a 1/2" square drive and a 6-point opening. It is an SAE impact socket in forged steel, made for high-torque work on 1/2" drive impacts, and it also runs on 1/2" ratchets, drivers and adapters.

Why it's built this way

• Forged impact steel holds up to the constant hammering of a high-torque impact wrench.
• The size is stamped into the steel and filled with ink, so it stays readable for the life of the socket.
• The part number is laser etched on the body.
• A non-slip hex profile grips the fastener so neither the socket nor the nut corners round off.
• Two retaining holes plus a ring groove make the socket easy to lock onto the anvil and pull off again.
• Made to ASME industry standards.

Is this the right one for you?

Check three things: 1/2" drive, 9/16" SAE size, and deep length. The deep body reaches nuts sitting on long bolts, studs and threaded rod where a standard-depth socket bottoms out. Working on metric hardware? This one is sized in inches, so look for the metric equivalent. The 6-point opening and non-slip hex profile are aimed at keeping fastener corners intact under impact.
