Milwaukee Tool 49-16-1641 Impact Socket 9/16 Hex Drive 5/16

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-16-1641 is a 6-point deep impact socket designed for hex drive applications in professional hand tool and power tool use. It accepts a 9/16 inch hex drive and fits a 5/16 inch fastener, with an overall length of 0.63 inches. Constructed from steel with a black oxide finish, this socket is rated non-sparking, making it appropriate for use in environments where ignition risk must be controlled. Electricians, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople rely on this type of socket for consistent torque transfer without rounding fastener heads.

This socket is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a 5/16 inch hex fastener is the target. The deep 6-point profile provides full engagement on fastener flats, reducing slip under impact load. Its compact overall length works well in confined spaces. It is commonly used with impact drivers and impact wrenches in assembly, equipment maintenance, and electrical panel work where non-sparking tool requirements apply.

Key Features

• 9/16 inch hex drive for compatibility with standard hex-drive impact tools
• 5/16 inch socket size for precise fastener engagement
• 6-point deep profile reduces rounding risk on worn or tight fasteners
• Non-sparking construction suited for hazardous or ignition-sensitive environments
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance in everyday shop conditions
• Steel construction delivers durability under impact torque loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement deep impact socket for use with 9/16 inch hex drive impact tools requiring a 5/16 inch socket size.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with impact tooling safety practices. Always confirm the drive tool is powered down or the battery is removed before changing sockets. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets, as impact-rated sockets and hand tools are engineered for different load profiles. In environments where non-sparking tools are required, verify that all tools in the assembly comply with applicable site safety requirements.
