Product Description
Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 1/2 in. Deep Well Impact Socket — 1/2 in. Drive
Model Number: 49-66-4463
The Milwaukee 49-66-4463 is a SHOCKWAVE 1/2 in. Deep Well Impact Socket in 1/2 in. square drive — a heavy-duty impact-rated socket for driving and removing 1/2 in. hex fasteners with an impact wrench in the deep well format for fasteners with long thread engagement, nuts on threaded rod, and bolt applications where the socket must clear the projecting thread length above the nut for full socket engagement and complete torque transmission. Milwaukee engineers SHOCKWAVE Impact Sockets from proprietary steel with a heat treatment and wall thickness specification 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 from socket fragments ejected at high velocity.
The SHOCKWAVE socket's geometry provides the correct 1/2 in. drive square bore for secure engagement on the impact wrench's 1/2 in. anvil, and the hex socket profile provides the full-surface contact with the fastener's hex flats needed for maximum torque transmission without the point-contact that rounds fastener corners. The deep well format extends the socket depth beyond standard shallow sockets for the clearance needed on fasteners with long exposed threads — structural bolt installations, threaded rod connections, and any application where the fastener thread projection above the nut surface exceeds what a standard shallow socket can accommodate. Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE impact sockets maintain their geometry through repeated high-torque impact wrench use without the deformation that occurs in non-impact-rated sockets under the same conditions.
See Milwaukee's complete SHOCKWAVE socket lineup for all available sizes and depths in 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. drive formats.
