An impact driver is only as good as the hardware they spin, be they screwdriver bits, drill bits, or sockets. Right now, a particularly good example of the latter, a comprehensive, durable, and thoughtfully designed set from one of the most trusted toolmakers on the market, is on sale with a huge discount.
The Milwaukee Shockwave 36-Piece Impact Duty Socket Set is on sale for $213 at Walmart, 47% off its normal $400 price tag. It includes a sturdy organizer that fits into Milwaukee’s Packout ecosystem but works just as well as a standalone carrying case to keep these sockets organized over the many years you’ll have them, even with regular use.
This set includes 35 different sockets, 14 SAE sizes from 1/4 inch to 15/16 inch and 19 metric sizes from 6mm to 24mm, each stamped and ink-filled with its size for long-term readability. Separate trays for each sizing system are also included along with a low-profile organizer and three accessories: a 3-inch extension, 3/8-inch universal joint adapter, and a 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch socket adapter. All pieces are designed for use with corded, cordless, and pneumatic 3/8-inch impact wrenches and ratchets. They’re made of forged impact steel with 6-point geometry that prevents slipping and fastener rounding even in high-torque applications.

Other customers agreed, calling this case “convenient” and “very portable.” They also wrote that this is a “very nice and complete impact duty socket set for your mechanical needs” and “a great set for the price.”
