Milwaukee Tool has recently introduced its new line of SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty™ ½ Drive Lug Nut Wheel Sockets. The sockets are designed specifically for tire installations and removals, and come with the industry’s most durable, non-marring sleeve that protects rims during tire changes while ensuring the longevity of the sleeve itself.

The ARMOR-GUARD™ sleeve, made of premium durable plastic, protects against cracking or shredding, which is a common problem faced by mechanics and automotive technicians during wheel installations and removals. The sleeves are color-coded, gray for metric sizes and red for SAE sizes, for easy identification and stamped and ink-filled for clear size markings. The sockets also have a non-marring plastic insert to prevent lug nuts from getting damaged. The sockets are thin-walled, allowing for easy access in tight spaces around lug nuts.

The SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty™ Lug Nut Wheel Sockets are optimized for use with 1/2″ drive impact wrenches, drivers, ratchets, and adapters. They meet ASME industry standards for thin-walled sockets, ensuring a proper fit to the fastener. The dual-hole design and ring groove make for easy attachment and removal from the tool.

Milwaukee Tool has a reputation for providing its users with power tool accessory solutions that save time and increase productivity on the job site. By investing in socket design and functionality, the company continues to drive innovation in the fastening category by delivering the longest-lasting and most versatile accessories available. These new lug nut wheel sockets are no exception, engineered with high-strength forged steel for optimized performance in heavy-duty applications, and featuring a non-slip hex geometry to prevent socket and fastener rounding. The sleeve can also be removed for access to lug nuts in tight wheel assemblies.
