Best Socket Adapter? 18 BRANDS: Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita Gold, Ryobi, Hart, Irwin
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2020
- 18 BRANDS TESTED: Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita Gold, Makita, Ryobi, Hart, ARES, Neiko, Irwin, TEMO, Bosch, Performax, Torquesmith, Hercules, Hyper Tough, Warrior, Bauer, and Masterforce. In the first test, socket adapters tested for maximum strength until failure. In the second test, socket adapters are used on an impact wrench and maximum clamp load force is measured. Do socket adapters with “impact zones” perform better than those without impact zones? Do socket adapters with longer impact zones reduce “impact” force that’s delivered to the fastener? Let’s find out! No sponsors on the Project Farm channel. It's all about unbiased testing. Hope you find this video helpful.

I was telling myself ‘Patience Patience and do not get any tools this holiday season until PF rates it and tests it. Thank you again.
lol. Thank you very much! I've got many more tool reviews on the way at viewers request
Project Farm I told myself the same thing yesterday at Lowe’s !! Lol
Buy a microwave.. microwaves are cool..
Im doing same.lol. best channel ever
this vid is 17 days too late for me lol!! now I gotta hope I made a good buy
I literally search your channel before buying certain products for their results. Thank you for your dedication. We appreciate you.
Same here.
Same, recently when I had to buy some (emergency situation) Radiator Stop Leak, I searched and didn't see any videos from PF, I was legitimately uncertain about buying any of them. lol
I'll walk away if not pf approved.
All the impact adapters that broke in the small cross area are breaking safely. Rather than twisting and possibly throwing chips, they break quickly and reliably, without shrapnel.
I also noticed that alone of them, the Bosch alone seemed to be doing the evil shrapnel thing. Sheesh, safety glasses and work gloves anyone?
That may be the case but it’s ironic that most of them are the bigger brands who had that but along with that claimed the biggest breaking strengths…. This is why people like him are vital, don’t believe the hype that big brands claim, save your money when you can and buy the tool for its quality, not it’s name
No, it’s made to be elastic of sorts. Stores the energy from each impact like a spring so in theory it doubles the motion.
This is so important to know and make clear...
The best impact driver adapter are the titanium ones. Super strong, and never had a problem with them breaking.
I have no idea how, but I think I've just chain watched this guy for like 3 hours... Learnt lots, but not sure where the time went haha. TH-cam is a strange beast.
Thanks for watching!
It's not just TH-cam, as many TH-cam channels' content varies from person to person. PF content is legitimately no exception and is highly useful with testing, legitimate data, and time efficiency of each video he puts out. He dedicated his channel from experience and whatever gets him started from his heart, he'll put it out there. He saved a lot of industrial workers time so that they can get the best tools to work with by the various tests and various tools that PF utilized with in comparison to each brand. If it wasn't for this channel, I would somewhat be buying the average tools and others, but I seek for the best tools.
At some point manufactures will start putting on the product packaging - tested best by PF... :)
That would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks for the nice comment.
As seen on YT tested by Project Farm truck . That would be nice and give him some sort of % on sales
If so PF needs to get a royality check each time one is bought.
I run an Ace Hardware and bring in stuff that performs well. Also use the info from the videos to help with recommendations. Invaluable source.
Do I have an impact driver? No.
Do I need an adapter? No.
Will the outcome of this video directly benefit me? No.
Will I watch the entire thing with great interest? Of course!
Thank you very much!
My exact line of thinking
I’m from Canada do you Americans get the craftsman line in the USA I’d like to see them tested you can get the drill and driver for 100 cdn on sale regularly. It’s a great budget set I also have dewalt tools and the craftsman stuff isn’t that much worse.
@@ProjectFarm ^
I don't use all that stuff either
But the videos about undercoating or anti-seize got me thinking.
However, I don't even get most of these Products on the European market. But I can compare. FuidFilm for Example has Products that perform like Cosmoline Rp and meets the same military standardization.
You learn what to watch for 😁
My understanding is the impact bits with “torsion zones” are designed for the bit to last longer in its useful life span. Meaning when you’re using the bit to fasten nuts/bolts, or remove them, the bits don’t undergo this kind of extended even torque you see in the video, rather they experience momentary shock force, that drops of rapidly. Those torsion zones are there so that the bits don’t twist over time or multiple uses, but are rather designed to absorb the momentary shock and snap back into original shape. They’re not designed for high constant torque applications, but rather many, many, many smaller momentary shock torque hits. So like if your driving a million deck screws - that’s where these bits shine, they will survive longer without twisting over time.
Thanks for the feedback.
I very highly agree. I want speed insert, good fitment, drive speed and balance. On the back end good edge retention always makes a big deal. It is very interesting that he's testing them in inverse which is probably the best way to save 1,000,000 hours...
I think objectively this video is just a steel composition comparison for nightmare testing. I think he's actually peering pretty deep here.
@@Ihavetopoop718 i agree with most of his testing methodology. In particular the tests involving bit edge retention and head strength over use/time. My only complaint is regarding the claim that the bits with "torque zones" are compositionally weaker under constant high torque application. That part the bits with torque zones are not designed for, they're designed as a system to survive longer the repeated hammer hits from hammer drivers as you're putting in lots of repeated screws (like deck screws) with lots of small momentary repeated torque blows from the hammer mechanism, acting like a spring and snapping back slightly after each hit - thereby not putting in a permanent twist to the bit, and protecting the head and teeth (Phillips, Torx, etc.) from damage. They're not designed for high torque applications like bolts that needs to be torqued to 150Lbs with a slow turn of a torque wrench or even an Impact Wrench...in this case obviously the thicker the better.
Well you have to admit testing these to the point of failure does give you some indication as to overall durability. Just look at how the DeWalt ran away with the title in the test which counts most... For use with impact tools that generate less than 2000 inch pounds... Which is coincidentally where the bit snapped.
@@ConcernedCitizenPPCA I agree...I grabbed some of those just to have. But still, there's a reason they design them with these torque zones, and its not for ultimate steady state torque strength, but rather repeated multi-use. So would be interesting to see them tested against each other within those parameters.
“Neiko brand brakes at 666 inch pounds” The CEO must’ve signed a deal with the devil lol
As soon as I saw that I came to the commits to see when someone was gonna say sum

Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
@@ProjectFarm hi
"Pretty simple setup" lol. Nothing you do looks simple. Appreciate all the work you put into these videos!
Thought the same
Thank you very much!
Agreed
Is this the AvE cross over?
Dewalt able to be used with impact drivers up to 2000 psi
Dewalt after test two: did i stutter
Dewalt while applying slow and steady force: help me, I’m weak
Dewalt while using a impact: Unlimited power!!!
Inch/pounds, different to PSI
I picked up the DeWalt brand adapters on a whim, then watched this video with fingers crossed, and low and behold, luck was on my side! Thanks for the in-depth reviews, you are the man!
In the future if i own a factory.. I will make sure that the product first is PROJECT FARM approved. Amazing presentation as usual
Thank you very much!!!
@@ProjectFarm remember you did the driver bit that was the best thank you project Farm
The board will hate you .
you'll first have to form a committee, then have a meeting, then form a group to oversee the committee, then the group will have to have a meeting, then the board will need to approve the committee, then have a meeting about the group, then maybe you can present to the board so they can have another meeting.......in between golfing that is.
@@gregturner2899 Don't forget the 3 martini lunches.
imagine boardroom meetings at tool manufacturing companies-
'So how did we rate on the latest Project Farm video?'
Lol, thank you!
I've always wondered if bigger companies hire people just to search the internet and social media just to find stuff like project farm posts.
@@probablynotwearingpants6228 I think they do. Pretty much all companies that produce or sell consumer products have Instagram and/or Facebook pages. That means they have a person or team responsible for their social media presence which involves monitoring as much as it does content creation.
@@MikeCookie1973 I know they have marketing, tech, social media and whatnot but i imagine somewhere there's a person solely devoted to finding any little mention of that company whether it be on youtube or some strange foreign language forum in another country. I guess like a forensic investigator for the internet.
hes like the lockpicking lawyer of power tools
Thanks for another super useful comparison. I picked up a Snap-on 1/2" to 3/8" adapter, after my Craftsman twisted off, due to their superior image. While it did not twist off, the square section is now loose in the socket part. These adapters are often useful when a deep socket is needed and it would be nice to know which work well.
Every time I wear an old tool out, I come to your page before replacing. I have been snapping these left and right the past week as we work on my daughter's old Jeep. They are all adapters I've slowly collected over the years.
Now its time to actually buy some more, and guess what!?!?!? I knew just where to come for the best head to head review.
Thank you so much.
Great to hear!
No other channel on TH-cam actually impacts my daily work life like Project Farm.
Thanks so much! Glad I could help!
You had ONE pun opportunity!

I cant explain with words how happy i am when project farm uploads a video.
Thank you very much!
Me too. I’m always looking for them.

Sir hands down this is for me the Best go to channel for reference to see tested things,
And my hats of to you for your help, hard work, and care,
I will always recommend the channel to all those who are interested.
Keep well my prayers for all in these troubled times, bless.
So nice of you! Thanks!
I've always been concerned with those impact absorption areas on these various companies impact adapters and bits and this test proved why! It makes some pretty rudimentary sense that less material provides less stability.
Thank you!
well they do break 'cleaner' it would seem
Project farm puts the fire under company to make quality tools for their customers love for this channel
Thank you very much! Trust me, manufacturers do watch the videos and most of them appreciate the unbiased reviews. I've had offers for contract work testing products for major brands but have declined all offers. Thanks again
@@ProjectFarm I was always curious if you had feedback from manufacturers because of your videos. Thanks for staying unbias. It makes me questions what level of testing takes place from manufacturers of their parts in the first place... Granted not everyone is trying to be the best product on the shelf, but trying to be the best product at the best price for how it will be used is important for people to remember too.
I wonder how long before Torquesmith triples their price
Gotta fight fire with fire 🔥
@@ProjectFarm awesome you have influence! Awesome you stay independent!
“And the dewalt seemed to be enjoying the test a little too much” LOL!
Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectFarm Thank you for saving consumers so much time and money so we don’t have to figure out the best on our own! I would love to see an episode on ratcheting wrenches when possible
I LOVE your videos as I have recently been spending a lot of money on upgrading my tools to the best quality, and your work here certainly helps me sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Thanks so much! Glad to hear!
You're the best! Thorough, comprehensive, creative, and unbiased!
Wow, thank you!

I have said it before, but it is worth repeating and I will say it again, This is the best channel on TH-cam by far! Thank you for everything you do.
Thanks so much!
Best channel? 😮😮😮 Over something like ""the operation room", "Pecos Hank" or "The Stories of Old"?
@@spacecadet8843 as a weather enthusiast I will have to agree that Pecos Hank does have some really good storm chasing videos.
great testing man, your tests are always exceptional

You are welcome!
Honestly the videos PF makes are probably some of the most useful videos on TH-cam
Thanks for the nice comment!
At this point, we need a spreadsheet of all the best products so we can just buy all the good stuff! Thanks for another great test!
You are welcome. Thanks for the suggestion.

I watch your videos because they are THE BEST!!!!! Even if im not interested in the things you are testing, I still watch ALL of them!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!💕
Thanks, will do!
Glad I supplied my shop with Milwaukee gear:) I did however snap a 1/2 adapter on a lug, after that I bought the fuel 1/2 impact wrench and I love it! Thanks for all the informative videos
You are welcome!
do a video on "torque sticks" and how close they get to their stated torque with an impact gun.
test on 2 or 3 different guns
Great video idea! Thank you
This is a good idea!
@@ProjectFarm That test requires impacts being turned down from highest setting and a constant psi level.
@@ProjectFarm , I think that's a Great idea. I have always wondered about those. While set up for such a test, maybe a test for impact extensions designed for transmitting FULL torque. I've never had much luck with an extension on an impact.
Perfect idea! Always curious to know if it's the appropriate torque after putting a customers wheel on with one. So they're able to get the wheel off on the side of the road without struggling.
These vids are second to none. They have helped with countless purchases and shown that the most expensive item isn't always the best.
Thank you very much!
Love the videos incredibly helpful. Also Thankyou for always getting right into the testing and not advertising anything or any of that! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks, will do!
This type of testing is by far the best!
Thanks so much!
I really appreciate the fact you buy all these products. I love how fair you make all these test. You should start including the comments where people make suggestions that you pick.

Thanks so much!
As usual another great video the only man on TH-cam who puts effort into his videos
Thanks so much!
Ryobi, Hart and Milwaukee came out on the bottom in my testing of impact socket adaptors👌🏻
Great information. Glad our test results are consistent! Keep up the terrific work!!
Yep the Gen 1 Milwaukee socket adapters were stronger and built more like the Dealt he tested. The shock zone is a gimmick to sell more bits but its catching up to all these manufacturers nobody will buy them before to long.
Bro you saved me money lol. I upgraded to a brushless dewalt and broke a ryobi adapter and another no brand one qnd then ended up ordering the makita and so far so good
You're doing it wrong if you're breaking these things. Find another job or hobby.
@@replynotificationsdisabled
No, the point isn't usually to break them, but if you're going to buy one, wouldn't you want to know that you are buying the one that won't let you down if you're working late at night fixing something and it just happens to be the tool you have, or the tool that fits in a tight spot, and if you break it while working you can't just go get another one. I like to buy tools that last, like I like to buy cars that won't leave me stranded on the side of the road 20 miles from civilization.

A nice cheap test to do potentially after a more expensive one :) I have Husky socket adapters which have served me pretty well. I really do like the Makita Gold though when it comes to other impact bits. Their philips #2 in particular seem to last a lot longer than others I've used.
Thanks for the video idea.
Could you imagine going to in to your local hardware store and seeing items that are project farm approved? That'd be so cool.
Our family owns a small hardware store, a True Value. We actually sell a bunch of DeWalt, Ryobi etc. Used to sell Milwaukee, but they dropped True Value as a vendor so we no longer have them.
What’s even cooler is when you already own them. It’s like the ultimate affirmation.
It would be better than the good housekeeping seal of approval.

@@deelanders6132 i literally watching this channel, when pf just testing the mower engine thing,
First PF video that i watch is what happen if you put dirt on engine....
Great video! It seems that when it comes to your reviews of bits/adapters/etc., Husky and Kobalt are often omitted. As those are staples at Home Depot and Lowe’s respectively, it would be helpful to include them as well. I recently had two Husky socket adapters fail on me, and I would have been interested to see how the brand stacked up in your test. Also, it might be interesting to do a re-test of these adapters to see how they perform in extreme cold, moderate cold, and warm weather, as many people keep them in their un-heated garages and work trucks year-round and might benefit from knowing which brand(s) are better suited to working well when cold.
Thanks! Thanks for the video ideas if I revisit this test.
@@ProjectFarm
A test with tools in 10-30F range would be quite interesting.
What model Husky? I'm looking at the 1/4 in. Drive Impact Driver Socket Adapter Set (6-Piece) right now
Keep up the good work! Love to see every vid you do, as most have helped me a lot as a starting mechanic not wanting to waste money on tools
Thanks, will do!
Doesn't having a shock absorbing adapter defeat the purpose of using an impact tool?
Great point! From testing all of these, it serves as a failure point on short impact zones and adapters with longer impact zones (Bauer and Hercules) absorb too much of the impact.
No. It assists in applying the right torque, instead of getting the full load of torque immediately. Torque limiting extensions are the gold standard in tightening lug nuts because real people in the field will destroy the tool and parts they are working on if you give them the full load of torque immediately.
Protecting #8 or #10 fasteners may be a good application for the shock zones. But when using them on large bolts, it seems the stronger versions could be desired.
$5 says it's marketing wank and a great excuse for a built in failure point so you keep coming back and buying more
@@ProjectFarm The shock absorbing in the longer bits has nothing to do with it being an impact absorbing section, it's purely down to length. Try driving a 600mm screw with an impact driver: you'll get absolutely nowhere. If you use a regular drill, it'll go in no problem. More material means more springyness, which means less torque transmission.
Suggestion for a test: Rotary tools (such as Dremel, Proxxon etc. etc.). And/or the durability of the bits used on those tools.
Great video idea!
Nice idea as well.
Proxxon ❤
This would be a good test, I have an old craftsman and it’s blows.

Project Farm, I've used your videos to make purchase decisions more times than I can count! Thanks for the great content!

@@ProjectFarm These manufacturers' vocabulary is always getting more and more creative, I'm glad people like you test these everyday objects we constantly need. My serious feedback: I love your homemade testing rigs and appreciate going ahead and doing more than just the basic maximum torque test, keep it up!
TBH based on the review if you want good and expensive tools go japan, good but cheap tool go with china, Taiwan and malaysia are just there for fun lol
At 7:18 the dewalt says that it can handle up to 2000 in-lbs of torque and it did just that. Great video never disappoints
The PSI value of the test rig is not equivalent to torque. It's just a measure that can be used across all tested products.
Another great one! Love the strength of the socket you had on.... all these adapters broke while the socket just kept-on taking the heat!
Thanks!

Watching PF's videos it seems like DeWalt is never in the bottom tier. Worst I've ever seen is about middle of the pack. I like that popular brands are always tested.
My question is where do these things go, I am sure I own all 18 brands you tested and I can never find one when I need it.

Great job sir

@@ProjectFarm fun fact I actually had the top performer driver bit you showcased in this video but misplaced it, broke the most expensive one I had as a backup right after, asked my employer for another and they gave me the cheaper one to my delight and told them it’s the best one, the said “that’s good to hear because that one is way cheaper” just goes to show you that for certain things you pay for the name and not the performance

Man you don’t sugar coat anything!! Thank you! 🤠👍🏼
You are welcome!
I would imagine that the ARES brand is pronounced like the Greek god of war, Ares, instead of each letter being sounded out.
Great video as always.
Thanks!
When I see or hear Ares, I think of Xena Warrior Princess.
I got several HF adapters in the toolbox. I used them as a diversion so my good set doesn’t walk away.
lol. Nice!
Looks like you need to move to Ryobi for your diversions.
I need one of these for a deck job.
Dude you're always on point testing things that we ACTUALLY use
Thanks!
Your reviews are the most thorough and riveting out of the 40+ review videos I've seen.

Best Battery Nail Gun? Or Battery Finish nailer?
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
Hey I just wanna say that we really appreciate everything you do. You make it easy for not only the average weekend warrior taking on home/car projects but also for everyday professionals who work day to day with the same tools/equipment you test to make sound decisions. I've been watching and following along for about 3 years and it's always been quality content.
Thank you very much!
I’ve watched all the ads given. Your channel is the only one I do this for.
Started watching your videos and binged almost all them! I was very IMPRESSED! Any chance you could test ratcheting wrenches, ratchets and sockets? My tool set is turning into different brand for every tool. I haven't bought the above tools yet as I would like to see a test. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the video idea.
Amazing work as always Merry Christmas and Happy New Years @Project Farm
Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
10:01 "The Hart brand is designed for exactly this so it should be bet- oh. It broke." 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hart beaker!
Save money, live better!
Thanks for watching!
Interesting that Hart has been around for years and was a respected brand, but ya gotta wonder if they reduced their prices at the expense of quality so as to get into Walmart. I can't find anything on Hart changing to a Chinese holding company, which is what usually causes a drop off in quality.
I love these videos, and I love it even more when the tools that I have in my toolbox perform well or win tests!
Thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic channel you have. Very helpful to consumers. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Great video! What's the torque rating of your tester? I was impressed that the instrument didn't get damaged during testing.
I have the dewalt impact adapter and feel confident to be aggressive with them after this review. Thanks for making these great videos!!! Very very informative and helpful when deciding what is sufficient for the price range or if you need maximum performance. Your channel is awesome man 👏
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
New subscriber here! This is the BEST channel for tools by FAR!!!!! clean and professionally made videos!!!! Says only what needs to be said, straight to point, no thoughts, feelings, or bias, and FACTS ONLY!!!! You sir, are rare lol especially by NOT including all your personal thoughts!!! Keep these going forever please!!!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Your videos are excellent and much appreciated.
Thank you so much!
Great test! I wondered which of my adapters would go out first - now I know.
Thanks!
What amazes me, is how you manage to mend the bits after the first test, to be ready for the second one.
Thats why PF is the best.
might just be the magic of buying two, or maybe using a different size adapter since most were sets of 3
Out of interest, I've noticed you rarely test Husky products from Home Depot. I want to see how they hold up
Thanks for the video idea.
Same here. I recently picked up a 6 piece set for under $10. For my uses they'll work just fine. But would've been nice to see them tested.
Hey! I'm not as experienced as Project Farm, but I've been abusing my husky adapters for the past year and haven't had a problem yet. That being said, I'd love to see a video testing them, as I use a ryobi driver, so it isn't exactly being pushed to any limits
id like to point out husky is one of those companies that rebrands other companies tools and sells them with their name (atleast sometimes) dont get me wrong i have quite a few husky tools and do like them but part of me wonders if they were manuafactured by them or do they just have a great sourcing team one example i can think of is their ratcheting wrenches they are actually gearwrench brand
@@diyoutube6061 Every brand is rebranded. Ryobi is made by the same people as Milwaukee. DeWalt is owned by the same people as Black and Decker, Bostitch, Proto, Mac Tools, Irwin, Craftsman, and a few others. Just about every single brand is owned by other brands, it's all the same. Even Snap-On is shared with Blue Point, Lindstrom, and Williams.
Fascinating video, and great testing. I notice that several of the adaptors broke where the size was stamped into the metal - see 1:45 or 3:27, for example. That's exactly what I'd expect for a brittle fracture like this; any notch will weaken the metal and provide a ready initiation site for the fracture. If that's a more general observation, it might suggest tools with printed sizes are stronger.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for another great video!
@CORNER MARKET PLACE While true, indestructible products aren't as profitable. Generally, high-volume mid- to low-quality companies will buy out the highest-quality companies and intentionally weaken QC and tooling. If not, they re-engineer the product or manufacturing to push the final product to its limit, though this technique is mostly seen in tech products. Another technique is to directly weaken the quality or durability of the construction materials; in moving parts they typically choose to weaken gaskets since those don't often cause catastrophic failure. This last technique is harder to discern because it can be confused with a company "cheaping out" even though it may sometimes cost _more_ because of bad runs and QC problems.
A great example of the first type is when WD acquired HGST, a premium hard drive manufacturer. The previously quiet drives became very noisy and failure rates soared.
An example of the second type is NAND flash, where nearly every company engineers their products to store 3+ bits per cell, which reduces the NAND lifespan by 2^n.
Another example of the second type is panty hose which used to be strong enough to _pull cars._ Now you can tear one with your nail; they achieve this by superheating the fabric.
In a rather infamous case for the last type, Pirelli made tires for Formula One which wore out after just 50km. Imagine changing your tires more often than buying gas!
Another example of the last type is every line of yard tools which comes in "consumer" and "commercial" versions. Such as Stihl. The consumer tools are designed to wear out faster.
Now you know why they embossed the size on the weakest part. It's called "planned obsolescence" and it happens in every industry.
@@Mavendow Just by reading the Pirelli one we can just ignore your comment, FIA asekd Pirelli to make tires that degrade faster. Imagine trying to sound smart while not knowing details.
Love your videos their so informative and entertaining to watch and glad that they're always honest reviews keep up the amazing work and can't wait to see what you have planned for the future
Thanks, will do!
The best review corner you can trust in the entire planet! 👍👍 Great job bud!! Thanks a ton!
You are welcome!
