Milwaukee Tool 45-34-2008 1/2 Drive 6-point Metric Socket

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 45-34-2008 is a standard 6-point hand socket with a 1/2 inch square drive, designed for metric fastener applications. Built from chrome material with a corrosion-resistant chrome finish, it delivers durability in demanding trade and shop environments. The 6-point contact geometry reduces the chance of rounding fastener heads compared to 12-point designs, making it a reliable choice for high-torque hand drive work. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight for daily carry. This socket is intended for professional use by mechanics, industrial maintenance techs, and general trade technicians who rely on hand drive tooling for routine and precision fastening tasks.

This socket suits residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance applications where a standard-length 1/2 inch drive metric socket is needed. It works with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The standard length profile fits most accessible fastener locations without the added reach of a deep socket. It is a practical replacement or addition to any metric socket set used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical trade work where metric hardware is common.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch square drive for compatibility with standard ratchets and drive tools
• 6-point design for solid fastener contact and reduced rounding risk
• Chrome material with corrosion-resistant finish for long service life
• Standard length profile for everyday fastener access

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style 1/2 inch drive hand socket for use with any 1/2 inch square drive ratchet, breaker bar, extension, or torque wrench in metric fastening applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using standard 1/2 inch drive tooling. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque load of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damaged. No power tools or special codes are required for hand socket use, but always follow applicable torque specifications for the fasteners being driven.
