Diablo Impact Strong™ Hex Shank to Square Drive Socket Adapter
The Diablo Hex Shank to Square Drive Socket Adapter converts a 1/4 in. hex driver shank into a fully functional socket wrench, turning impact drivers and standard drill drivers into quick-change socket tools. Available in 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. square drive sizes, the adapter is built with an ultra-strength retention pin that grips sockets securely to prevent slippage when tightening or removing nuts and bolts. It is compatible with both standard and deep well sockets, and Diablo's Impact Strong™ engineering increases shank stability and durability for use in both cordless and corded impact and drill drivers.
Key Features
