Full details
This Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE™ Deep Socket Set is designed for professional mechanics and serious DIYers who require durable and reliable tools for impact driving and drilling applications. Its key benefit is the SHOCKWAVE™ IMPACT DUTY steel construction, providing superior strength and resistance to wear, while preventing fastener rounding. A potential caveat is its specialized design for impact tools, meaning it may be over-engineered for light-duty manual tasks.

FAQs
What material are these sockets made from?
The sockets are crafted from SHOCKWAVE™ IMPACT DUTY steel, a high-quality alloy steel designed for maximum strength and durability.
What sizes are included in this 5-piece set?
The set includes five popular 1" deep socket sizes: 27mm, 30mm, 32mm, 33mm, and 36mm.
Are these sockets suitable for manual ratchets?
While they may fit, these sockets are optimized and designed for the high torque and impact forces of power tools like impact drivers and drills. Their full benefits are realized with powered tools.
How do I keep the sockets organized?
The set comes with a sturdy blow-molded case, which is designed to keep each socket securely in its designated spot for easy organization and portability.
What is the benefit of the 'non-slip hex geometry'?
This feature is designed to provide a better grip on the fastener head and prevent the socket from slipping or rounding off the corners of nuts and bolts, especially under high torque.
What does the 'safety ring' do?
The safety ring helps to secure the socket onto the drive of the impact tool, reducing the chance of the socket becoming dislodged during operation.
What is the drive size of these sockets?
These are 1" drive sockets, compatible with 1" drive impact tools.
Troubleshooting
Socket not gripping fastener properly
Ensure you are using the correct socket size and that it is fully seated on the fastener. Check for debris in the socket or on the fastener. Verify the non-slip geometry is not obstructed.
Socket appears to be deforming or cracking under impact
Confirm you are using a compatible 1" drive impact tool. Ensure the socket is not subjected to excessive side-loading. If damage is evident, discontinue use and replace the socket.
Difficulty accessing a fastener in a tight space
While designed for tight spaces, extreme angles may still pose a challenge. Consider using extensions or universal joints if needed, ensuring they are rated for impact use.
Laser markings are becoming illegible
Avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If markings are significantly worn, consider supplementing with manual size markers or a reference chart.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This socket set requires no specific setup beyond selecting the appropriate socket size for the fastener. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive of your impact driver or wrench. The safety ring should be in place to secure the socket.
Compatibility: These 1" drive sockets are designed for use with 1" drive impact wrenches, impact drivers, and drills. Always match the socket drive size to the tool's drive size. The metric sizes (27mm, 30mm, 32mm, 33mm, 36mm) are suitable for fasteners corresponding to these dimensions.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity, clean the sockets after each use to remove dirt, grease, and debris. A dry or slightly damp cloth is recommended. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the steel or markings. Store the sockets in the provided blow-molded case when not in use to protect them from damage and corrosion. Periodically check the sockets for any signs of wear or damage.
