Milwaukee Detent Pin for Select 1/2 in. Impact Wrenches and Drivers
Model Number: 44-60-1170
The Milwaukee 44-60-1170 is a genuine OEM Detent Pin for select Milwaukee 1/2 in. impact wrenches and impact drivers including the 0779-20, 0779-22, 0779-50, 0879-22, 0879-50, 2652-20, 2662-20, 9070-20, 9072-20, 9079-20, 9079-22, and 9079-23 among others — always verify by serial number. The detent pin is the small hardened steel pin that works together with the detent spring (40-50-8320) inside the 1/2 in. anvil to hold sockets securely on the impact wrench anvil during fastener driving and loosening operations. The detent pin seats in the anvil's detent slot, and the detent spring applies outward pressure against the pin — when a socket is pushed onto the anvil, the pin deflects inward against the spring and then snaps back out into the socket's retention groove to lock the socket in place. A worn, bent, or missing detent pin that allows sockets to fall off or disengage from the anvil during use requires replacement to restore secure socket retention.
The detent pin should be replaced together with the detent spring 40-50-8320 for best results, as both are wear items that degrade together over extended use. Always verify your catalog number and serial number before ordering to confirm this is the correct detent pin for your specific impact wrench model.
