Product Description
Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 1/4 in. Hex to 3/8 in. Socket Adapter
Model Number: 48-32-5031
The Milwaukee 48-32-5031 is a SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty 1/4 in. Hex Shank to 3/8 in. Square Drive Socket Adapter — a single adapter that converts a standard 1/4 in. hex shank impact driver or drill to the 3/8 in. square drive socket interface for driving the most common range of structural bolts, hex nuts, and socket-drive fasteners encountered in construction and mechanical work. The 3/8 in. square drive is the standard socket size for medium-duty structural connections — covering the bolt and nut sizes from 1/4 in. through 9/16 in. that are used throughout construction for conduit support hardware, equipment anchoring, framing hardware, mechanical assembly, and the broad range of fastening applications where the 3/8 in. drive's load capacity is appropriate without requiring the larger 1/2 in. drive format. Milwaukee manufactures the SHOCKWAVE adapter from proprietary steel with Shockzone torsional compliance geometry for the impact driver's peak torque loads.
The individual adapter format provides the most economical purchase when only the 3/8 in. drive conversion is needed without the full 3-piece socket adapter set (48-32-5033) cost — the right choice for contractors who already have the 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. socket adapters and need only a replacement or additional 3/8 in. unit, or for outfitting a specific driver with 3/8 in. socket capability. The SHOCKWAVE construction ensures the adapter maintains its drive geometry and socket retention function through the repetitive engagement-disengagement cycling of socket changes during production fastening work. The adapter accepts all standard 3/8 in. square drive sockets from Milwaukee and all compatible manufacturers for broad socket compatibility.
The complete 3-piece socket adapter set (48-32-5033) covers all three standard socket drive sizes in one purchase — see Milwaukee's SHOCKWAVE socket adapter lineup for all available formats.
