Product Description
Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 1/2 in. Deep Well Impact Socket — 3/8 in. Drive
Model Number: 49-66-4461
The Milwaukee 49-66-4461 is a SHOCKWAVE 1/2 in. Deep Well Impact Socket in 3/8 in. square drive — a heavy-duty impact-rated socket for driving and removing 1/2 in. hex fasteners with an impact wrench or impact driver in the deep well format for fasteners with long thread engagement, nuts on threaded rod, and bolt applications where the socket must clear projecting thread length above the nut. Milwaukee engineers SHOCKWAVE Impact Sockets from proprietary steel with heat treatment and wall thickness matched to the peak torque loads of impact wrench use — standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact wrench loading and can shatter from the peak torsional impact energy of each hammer strike, creating a serious safety hazard. The deep well format extends the socket depth beyond standard shallow sockets for clearance on fasteners with long exposed threads above the nut surface.
The 3/8 in. drive format balances socket capacity and tool compactness — the 3/8 in. drive impact wrench or impact driver is the practical everyday choice for the 1/2 in. fastener size range in commercial and maintenance work, providing adequate torque for medium-duty fasteners while remaining lighter and more compact than the 1/2 in. drive tools used for the heaviest structural fastening. The SHOCKWAVE socket's geometry provides the correct 3/8 in. drive square bore for secure engagement on the impact wrench's 3/8 in. anvil, and the hex socket profile provides full-surface contact with the fastener hex flats for maximum torque without corner-rounding. SHOCKWAVE impact sockets maintain their geometry through repeated high-torque impact wrench use.
