Milwaukee Shockwave Impact Duty 6 Point Sockets

Milwaukee has introduced a new set of Shockwave impact duty 6 point socket sets. The big feature on these are the stamped and ink filled markings on the barrels of the sockets which Milwaukee claims is the boldest and longest lasting markings on sockets according to them. Stamped markings do last longer than regular ink markings as ink markings can easily scrape off over time from regular use. These stamped markings are filled with a bit of ink which is where the boldness in their statement comes from as regular stamped markings though long lasting don’t stand out unless they are inked. The ink helps the markings stand out. These new impact rated sockets are for a wide range of socket drives including ¼”, 3/8”, ½”, ¾”, and 1” drives. They will launch as early as May 2021. Check out their press release below for more info.

Engineered for use with impact wrenches, drivers, and ratchets, this new line of sockets features the boldest, longest-lasting markings and extreme impact durability to withstand high torque applications.

The SHOCKWAVE™ IMPACT DUTY™ Sockets provide maximum wear resistance with stamped and ink-filled size markings, making it easier for users to select the right socket for their application throughout the entire life of the socket. Constructed with high-strength forged steel, these sockets deliver optimized performance in heavy-duty applications, and a non-slip hex geometry prevents socket and fastener rounding.
