Milwaukee Tool 49-16-1608 Impact Socket 8mm Deep

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-16-1608 is a deep-length impact socket designed for use with 9/16-inch hex drive impact tools. Built from steel with a black oxide finish, it accepts an 8mm fastener and features a 6-point contact geometry that maximizes torque transfer and reduces fastener rounding under high-cycle impact loads. At 0.63 inches overall length, it fits deep-well applications where a standard-depth socket cannot reach the fastener. The non-sparking rating makes it appropriate for use in environments where ignition risk is a concern. This socket is installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades working with impact drivers and impact wrenches.

This socket is suited for both residential and light commercial service work where 8mm hex fasteners are common. It pairs with 9/16-inch hex shank impact drivers and compatible impact wrenches. The deep configuration is particularly useful when fasteners are recessed or when a nut must be run down a long bolt. The non-sparking construction expands its usability to job sites with flammable vapors or gases, including mechanical rooms, fuel systems work, and utility environments.

Key Features

• 8mm socket size with 6-point contact for reduced fastener cam-out
• Deep-length profile at 0.63 inches OAL for recessed fastener access
• Non-sparking construction rated for use in ignition-sensitive environments
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• Steel construction rated for impact tool use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 9/16-inch hex drive impact tools requiring an 8mm deep socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is used by licensed tradespeople including electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers with impact drivers or impact wrenches. Confirm the drive tool is powered off or disconnected before attaching or removing the socket. On non-sparking applications, verify that all ignition sources are controlled per applicable site safety procedures before beginning work. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if wear is visible.
