Socket Tool Adapters

Socket Tool Adapters

Adapters for socket tools are indispensable accessories that increase the flexibility of your socket wrench set. They make it possible to use sockets with a different drive than your ratchet or impact wrench has, saving both space and money. At Verktygsgrossen, you will find a professional range of adapters and converters for all common square drives, perfect for both the workshop and service vehicle.

Applications

• Using a smaller socket on a larger ratchet, for example from 1/2" to 3/8".
• Using a larger socket on a smaller ratchet, for example from 3/8" to 1/2".
• Adapting sockets for use with an impact wrench that has a different drive size.

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.
