Milwaukee 1/4 Friction Ring

(Use with 34-40-1880 O-ring)

The Milwaukee 44-90-1070 1/4" Friction Ring is a small but essential retaining component designed to secure sockets onto compatible Milwaukee drive tools. This friction ring works with the 34-40-1880 O-ring to create the classic friction-retained socket system, allowing sockets to snap securely onto the anvil while still being easy to remove when the job is done. Built for durability and consistent retention, it helps keep sockets firmly in place—because the only thing that should be flying across the shop is sawdust, not your sockets.
