- this is a neat little adapter for driving hex bits with a lot of power using 1/2" drive, it is reasonably well built and these adapters are uncommon but can be useful in a number of situations.

Ah yes, now I can drive bits with an extension from the comfort of my own bed.
Ben use this little adapter over year Surprising quality
Loved the demo and the socks with sandals, don't ever change Cat!
nail salons are closed due to Covid-19.
@@youarehere1251 what are you even talking about
@@youarehere1251 lol. U troll. Lol.
I love the way you explain where a tool could possibly justify itself. A 3/8 version of this, as well as 5/16 hex adapters in each drive size would be great also.
YES! A 5/16 and 7/16'' bit versions would be awesome for POWER driving
I think kctool.com has that
Nice demo !
Thanks, might need to get one now
Just bought this and put on to my dewalt impact wrench, the amout of WOBBLE makes me feel if this was broken!
I have one of these, works great. I use it with the Milwaukee stubby impact wrench.
Milwaukee really fell down with their version of the adapter. No push-to-insert is a huge killer for something like this.
Hi Catus , I've had the 1/2" Dewalt Version For A While . Forget I have It Sometimes . Use with my 1/2 Impact Gun. little Bulky . Got it on Sale at One Place for like 10.00 ! About 3 years ago .
Just turned my Milwaukee Stubby m12 1/2 inch impact into Impact Driver with 250ft. lbs power, making it most powerful impact driver on market with 3000in. lbs :)
Can't remember what video brought me here but I remember subscribing instantly. I live here now.
I think it was a harbor freight step bit or drill bit set review. Probably hercules vs dewalt drill bits. Lots of good reviews on your channel 👍 👌 👏 😀
I have one in 3/8 drive that was made by titan, it's pretty good quality
I got some Walmart hart versions of these in a ~$20 bit kit. This video made me realize that these are shorter! I have been wondering for a while if really low profile ones were available.
I did not know Dewalt had one. I bought the Milwaukee version.
Can you review wiha one, its modified cr mo steel, also 1/2 to 1/4?
I have a similar adapter from Milwaukee, but it's 3/8" to 1/4". All I end up doing is breaking bits!
I wonder if they warranty it when you really start hammering it?
what is the brand of your electric cutter?
This seems like it would be useful with those flywheel type impact wrenches (the 12V ones). That would act a bit like a impact driver. I'm sure they could still break the bits if the screw doesn't give.
My 1/2” Atomic is a power puncher, yes. But I have not had that problem. I use it often and my brother is constantly building something. Chicken coop; door frame to my house using 4X4 and four + inch screws. I don’t force it and it does a great job. Sloppy with it, it’ll hurt the bit and you too! I love my drill. 😁
I know I am exaggerating, but drilling next to your feet in sandals :) - now that's a real man.
After about a month of occasional use the bits will not lock in anymore and fall out. Can this be repaired?
Wow, what a coincidence. I ordered the Milwaukee version in 3/8" 2 days ago (hasn't even arrived yet) to use on my 3/8" Earthquake XT impact also. I was worried there would be excessive "slop" after snapped onto the anvil. I guess there will have to be some... But I guess it makes up for that by having an excessive amount of POWER! I bet you could of driven that screw right through that wooden block!
if you can give a part number that would be great thanks. u oops found it www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-3-8-in-Square-x-1-4-in-Hex-Shockwave-Impact-Adapter-48-03-4405/203114918
The Milwaukee is a better option. The Dewalt wobbles.
Hey i have a 3/8 and 1/2 adapters ive had for years.i like the 3/8 better. The 1/2 impact gets really heavy after 8 or 10 hrs of driving. The 3/8 not so much. If i can find a brand name i will shout back at you.
It’s the socks with sandals for me dawg 😂😂😂😂
Nevermind the adapter, what tool did you use to cut through the blister pack wrap at the beginning of video
Love the health & safety.....
White(ish) socks & sandals when driving screws in right next to your toes..
OSHA approved.
Thank you!!!
Any idea what the part number is for a 3/8 version?
They're definitely better suited for low power or mid power wrenches because they impact sooner.
On a full sized wrench, what often happens is that the wrench won't impact until the screw is mostly driven in already and HOOOOOOOOAH MAAAN I've taken the head off of way too many screws even if I'm only using speed 1 because the entire screw shank will twist and shear from the torque.
These things make more sense as a 3/8 adapter rather than as a 1/2.
As always a great review, Cat! I wondered if your sock-covered toes were cringing at the thought of that hex impact adapter with the bit inserted was too close for comfort. You know, just in case something slipped.
$8 at Lowe’s. Great tool
Yes. Cant find the warranty info though. It was asked on Lowes web site and Dewalts response was to call the 800 number. To me, thats not a good sign. It should be listed. Cat also did a vid review of ORiellys adapter for $13 and its a life time warranty.
Come to think of it a little squirt of Lucas red and tacky should be enough to hold 1/4 inch bit in the impact socket without it falling out
Sandals and socks? I'm going to have nightmares. Keep up the great content...
yep, its like wearing a condom for oral sex!
Neiko makes on, and now Milwaukee make 1/2 inch sq to 1/4 inch hex too
What was the tool you used to cut the wrapper?
I believe it was some type of battery powered cutting apparatus 🤔
Home depot website says they are discontinued
Lowe's has this similar one This looks different but seems to be same thing www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-1-4-in-to-1-2-in-Socket-Adapter/3850015?cm_mmc=shp-
The small insert bits don’t work with the Dewalt. You’re only fitting the long bits.
socks, sandals ..... Linus, where are you ?
Unless you have a really big job to do like a deck I see no need for this attachment when a simple quarter inch impact socket holds the same bits perfectly fine. The only Advantage I see here is that the bits lock-in but a number of impact wrenches out there I've seen don't have a locking mechanism on the Anvil I know mine doesn't so I'll stick to my quarter inch socket thank you very much
What’s the point.! Most impact drivers will destroy bits the way there built as is. Why add more power??
Really for driving things like large and long concrete screws and giant timberlok screws
Made in China? Amazon's listing says it's made in USA. Thanks for mentioning where it is made.
This thing is built like a tank.
What are thoooose
I got the 3/8 made by titan 🤓
AvE meets Linus tech tips
A tool for opening packages?😅😂 oh my
I do stuff like that too, but the dad in me says watch your toes when bracing it like that.
They are $20 on ebay :(
Try lowes where I got this one
@@CatusMaximus ty
Take my money lol
Never use high torque impact wrench with these adaptors. I recommend only mid or low range torque impact wrench( with detent pin only). If you have hog ring on impact, it becomes low precision/accuracy and easy to snap/break your hexbits.
Good idea. Many impacts now have switch settings for low, med, hi tq. Maybe using a collared hexbit adapter to keep the screw straight would help accuracy and from breaking bits.
at 3:19, sacrilege.
why the fuck would anyone need that much torque 😮😮
