Mechanics take note, expanding on their platform, the Milwaukee Tool 56 piece socket set gives the namesake a pretty impressive slate for the mechanic. Offering these kits in a self-contained kit, it’s also a great fit for under the seat or back of the SUV.

Milwaukee Tool 56 Piece 48-22-9008 Features

The first feature you notice with the Milwaukee sockets is the square end. This not only provides a great place for a wrench for leverage but it also keeps the sockets from rolling away when not on the ratchet. Large, bold engraved numbers provide easy-to-read markings, and the markings last a lifetime. Typical socket material, the chrome vanadium offers durable construction and an easy-to-clean finish.

Pro Tip: It’s proven that 4 out of 5 dentists agree, less 10mm Milwaukee sockets are lost than any other brand. –Not proven

Looking at the ratchet internals, a 90-tooth gear and pawl setup provide the 4° of arc swing. The ratchets also include a slim profile on the head which allows access in tight areas. This Milwaukee Tool 56 piece kit comes with metric and SAE sockets, and the 48-22-9008 kits include a lifetime warranty. The 3/8″ kit comes with 27 standard length and 25 deep well sockets. Also included in the kit is one 3/8″ Milwaukee 90T ratchet, a 3-inch extension, one 6-inch extension, and a universal adapter.

Final Thoughts

Milwaukee’s power tools continue to impress us and the mechanics’ world as they continue to grow the line. We’ve yet to put any of the ratchets and sockets to the test, but we hope to soon. We were pretty impressed with the Milwaukee combination wrenches that released last year. We’ll be sure to follow up with a full review.
