Milwaukee Adds Insert Hex Bits and Insert Socket Adaptors to Shockwave Line
08/27/2014
MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver game-changing solutions for the professional with the relentless expansion of their SHOCKWAVE™ Impact Duty line of accessories. Building on the success of the Milwaukee® SHOCKWAVE™ Impact Duty line that launched in 2009, and the SHOCKWAVE™ Expand program that launched in 2013, Milwaukee will now offer even more versatility for the user with the addition of Insert Hex Bits and Insert Socket adaptors to the program.
The additional products on the SHOCKWAVE™ Expand line will include (9) new SAE Hex Bits ranging in size from 1/16” to 1/4”, (8) new Metric Hex Bits ranging in size from 2.5MM to 12MM, and (3) new insert socket adaptors in 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” sizes.
SHOCKWAVE™ Expand allows the user to DO MORE and CARRY LESS. To match the breadth and flexibility of the 5 bit holders and 46 inserts in the Expand line, users would typically need to carry over 230 unique accessories. This is not only a considerable investment for users, but the volume of 
product needed adds substantial weight to their tool bags. As with all products in the SHOCKWAVE™ family, Expand is built for extreme durability and up to 10X more life in impact drivers than standard bits.
With the expansion of the SHOCKWAVE™ Impact Duty line, Milwaukee Tool demonstrates its continued commitment to delivering innovative accessory solutions to save time and increase productivity on the jobsite.
