Milwaukee Tool 49-66-5142 Impact Hex Bit Socket

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-66-5142 is a 1/2 inch drive impact hex bit socket designed for use with impact wrenches and high-torque power tools. Built to handle the rotational stress and shock loads generated by impact drivers, this socket accepts a 3/8 inch hex bit and measures 2.62 inches in overall length. It is suited for fastening and removal tasks where standard sockets would strip or fail under repeated impact cycles. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors keep impact-rated sockets like this one in rotation for demanding field and shop work.

This socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and is appropriate for both residential and commercial trade applications. Its compact 2.62 inch length makes it manageable in tighter access points while still providing the depth needed for secure bit engagement. It is sold individually, making it a straightforward replacement or addition to an existing socket set.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal tasks using this socket should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with impact tool operation. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque to prevent slippage or ejection. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and retire any socket showing visible damage. Follow applicable safety standards and tool manufacturer guidelines when operating impact wrenches.
