They make it possible to use sockets with a different drive than your ratchet or impact wrench has, saving both space and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a regular adapter be used with an impact wrench?
No, for impact wrenches, always use impact-rated socket adapters made of chrome-molybdenum steel to withstand high torque.
What is the difference between an adapter and a converter?
The terms are often used synonymously. An adapter generally connects different drives, while a converter or reducer specifically goes from a larger to a smaller drive.
