seriously its one of the best tool review i ever seen.. covers almost all aspect if a tool and genuinely spot the light to the goods and bads.. thanx alot
Before I ever buy a new tool, I look here first to see if you've tested it. Apprentice iron Worker here, I need my tools to be tested tough. Keep it up sir. Make my life a HEAVEN WALKER
I've had this adapter for nearly a year now, It works really well at taking off rusty brake rotor screws, and as you know the reverse torque is higher than forward torque, so i'm not sure why people would not think it's not a durable tool, I used it to drive 4 inch screws into our deck to secure a ladder for our pool, also no problem. I will say it's probably not a good idea to use on drywall though.
Yeah! Perfect fit my 894 drives 4 inch screws into 4x4 90-100% of the way before even impacting. Most of the time it just needs a couple hits to full seat the head.
I have owned that adapter for a few years and it's still working fine. I have both the Ryobi 1500 in lb driver and 200 ft lb 1/2" and the use of the adapter for me is when I am installing several long torx head lag bolts such as when connecting beams or securing trusses.
I use one from Irwin on my makita dtw281, at speed 1 (weakest), and no problem at all. The point of using this adaptor at full power is not breaking the adapter but at full power/speed I have no control over the little philips screws. So using in speed one is not only good for the adapter but for the work you are doing. 2600 rpm and 280nm of torque on a philips head is very easy to mess everething the screw the wood the adapter :). Very good video
These are pretty awesome. Set your impact wrenches down to speed 1 or the lowest setting and you will be good for years. I’m debating about dumping my impact driver and just using this instead. I rarely use a driver so it makes sense for me.
currently been using this for my dewalt high torque 899 impact wrench to drive 150mm batten screws into 100x200 hardwood posts soo much faster then a standard impact driver
Saw this at Lowes for dirt cheap. Picked one up and rewatched this video. Thanks for the warning about how much torque it can handle. I'm using it with my Ryobi cordless 1/2" impact later. On setting three, it would break the adapter. I'm going to be using this adapter with a Forstner style bit, and my impact driver for driving screws. It's nice not having to switch bits all the time. It's also nice not having my screw driver bits shoot out across the room and get lost.
Best video I've found so far. However as a contractor what I'm really interested in is how the impact wrench works with long structural screws. None of my impact drivers can drive a 10" GRK without numerous "run ups!" Thanks.
I know this vid is 5 years old, but its great! I can only afford one tool right now and I want something that I can use for automotive work but also general DIY and basic home repair. Would you recommend I use an impact wrench with this adapter, or an impact driver with a socket adapter???
So I have a question that I can't find the answer to.. I'm a contractor and have the fuel one key impact driver I use daily. I also do some light duty mechanic work on my cars and trucks in the form of wheels and tires, suspension work, ect. I own the fuel 2763 impact and use it for lag bolts, structural bolts in steel, ect. I'm wanting to get a compact impact wrench for the small mechanic stuff (tires, smaller bolts ect) but not sure if I should get an adapter for my one key impact driver, or get the one key 1/2 impact wrench. What is your recommendation knowing I already have the 2763? Thanks so much
awesome review I was looking for this adapter for a long time I have drills but that is a perfect adapter .. thank you .. and by any chance can you make a review milwaukee fuel vs ridgid x5 brushless? to see which perform best I have fuel but I heard ridgid is more powerful
Nice video. My impact driver broke, and I have to buy a new one to finish my shed build project. However, I usually work on cars and sometimes I do woodworking. So I thought buying new impact wrench is more cost effective.
Surprisingly if your using a strong half inch impact it's actually easier on the bit it drives hardly impacting. With the smaller impact wrench he's using its no more torque then a regular driver.
I have the Ryobi P261 impact wrench, rated at 300 ft/lb at high setting (high, mid, and low). I am thinking about getting the adapter and use at lowest setting which probably means less torque, will this adapter be destroyed?
Damn, bro,,,,,u honestly,sincerely,do a good friggin job.on your vid's. and I've been replacing all Dewalt,and Porter Cable with Milwaukee !!!! first cordless impact, a Dewalt DW059 hog ring, was O.K. but my Milwaukee 2763, wow, ,,, hope u get special deal's. up to 4 model's of Milwaukee impact's. alone.
I wondered when someone was going to come out with something like this. The only problem I see is the wobble at the bit. Starting screws is more difficult. I'd get one but I have an impact driver that I just put a socket adapter on and it does just fine for me.
Douglas Alan That's a good point. As long as you have some good bits it won't make that much difference. I have kobalt and dewalt bits. They're pretty good.
+Love2boat92 It would appear so, but honestly with the star drive screws there is zero issues. I dont know about phillips....since I 100% cannot stand using them.
Real Tool Reviews It sure does look like it on camera. Yeah star is better then Philips. We still have flat head screws around here on a few things. Lol. I don't like the flat head screws at all.
Jursaw--Well, okay, but this is an adapter for 1/2" to 1/4", so there's no direct comparison regarding a 3/8" model. Does Milwaukee make a 1/2" to 1/4" that is a better adapter than this DeWalt model? Thanks.
@@stever5887 yes Milwaukee makes an adapter, i just ordered one from HD online to go with my ridgid gen5x 1/2" impact wrench. I have an impact driver with hex to 3/8 and 1/2 socket adapter so i figure why not have a 1/2" socket to 1/4" hex adapter... That way if i drive screws and need light duty work on say my sons bike I can or if i need to rotate my tires and then build a fence i can as well... Oddball examples but you get the idea.
I used it to predrill holes for fences for screws. It drilled in great, but every once in a while when reversing the drill out, the adapter would come off. A bit annoying
do you if something like midtorque impact wrench like milwaukee 2861 can be used with this adapter on very low rpms. according to manual its documents.milwaukeetool.com/58-14-2860d1.pdf does only 0-510 rpms on first speed,hence the torque should be lower and ok for this adapter?
That’s my question as well. I’m about to buy one just to try it. I’ve got an aircat that puts out up to 900 ft/lbs I’m going to turn down the air pressure to about 90 and set it to 1 of 3 for impact power. It should be fine. I’m hoping to at least finish my subfloor (about 1600 screws). Might save me 150$.
As he says in the vid - These are not the same, just as buying a $60 tool is not the same as buying a $260 tool. Value and quality are good buying motivations - 'Cheap' is for idiots and true amateurs.
This would be one of those things that I would buy and then two months down the line I would forget that I had it. If I needed to use an impact driver, I would probably reach for the driver rather than the adapter. I try and avoid adapters at all cost. Just my own personal preference.
Real Tool Reviews, you've done an excellent reviews on the Ingersoll Rand W7150 sometime back. So I've purchased W7150-K22 Set. Which adapter do you suggests?
Oh boy haha you have excited now, my buddies gen 1 fuel just let go couple weeks ago and he's been using my xwt02z and loves it so he's awaiting some feedback on the gen 2 before he makes a decision to go Makita or Milwaukee.
I can't stand phillips screw drive. It's flawed and there are way to many different types and sizes. I like robertson (square) drive. I use two bit sizes for my robertson screws, and my Spax bit which I think you were using in this video. I've always wish outlet and light switches used the robertson drive instead of slotted drives. I've cut myself countless times with a flat trying to uncomfortably get outlets wired together.
+Real Tool Reviews Luck you guys that live in US or whatever, here in Brasil, the most used screws are philips and one that we call fenda, dont know how to say in english, its a horrible screw impossible to use with drill, driver or anything, I think there you call it flat, dont know, its a head with a single fissure dividing it in half. Unfortunatelly here, this is the standards. Torx is rare, square almost impossible to find :(
if you are using small 1 inch bit and this 12v wrench (the link below) it will be even shorter and more accurate then regular impact driver. The regular impact driver's socket is deep and cannot use 1 inch PH2 bits for example. sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m12fiwf12-0-12v-li-ion-cordless-fuel-stubby-1-2-impact-wrench-skin-only

@@sethburgess8211 and this adapter is really no different than a quarter inch impact socket with a locking mechanism

A DeWalt adapter that my DeWalt DCF899 will shred in an instant...perfect!
Is there a video reviewing a 3/8 to 1/4 hex adapter?
i have a dewalt dc925 and i want to know can i turn that into an impact drill
So this adapter is no good for the heavy duty impact wrench?
thanks for the info , i have two did not know it like that

Right at the end I was thinking throw this on a air impact driver and have a beast deck screw driver but limited to 100ft/lbs sorta ruins that idea

Jeremy Steinacker torque doesn’t even matter that much for impact drivers
Thanks Danny-------
Yes! The adapter is cool. But don't make it a habit. Otherwise too much torque can shred the screws. Nice tho if you're in a pinch

Only use it under 150ft/lb torque.
Lowest power is most sufficient for driver bits.
would you use the impact wrench adapter with an air impact wrench?

Does Dewalt has a 3/8 to 1/4 hex adapter? I know milwaukee has it, but I can not find one from Dewalt
I have the Dewalt 1/2 to 1/4 hex and as you said, the Milwaukee 3/8 to 1/4. Neither seems to have the other one for some reason.
The next thing to do is review using a 3/8 th keyless chuck adapter on an impact driver
can you do a review on the new dewalt Bluetooth batteries with the app?

+Alex Parkes I will see what I can do....thanks!
+Real Tool Reviews thanks really appreciate it!
And you could always use a quarter inch impact socket instead
12$ is a good price for this adapter, considering you can buy a new bare impact drill for like 60$.
As he says in the vid - These are not the same, just as buying a $60 tool is not the same as buying a $260 tool.
Value and quality are good buying motivations - 'Cheap' is for idiots and true amateurs.
