Unlock the full potential of your 1/4" hex drive impact driver with the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Hex Shank Socket Adapter Set. This essential 3-piece kit allows you to convert your standard impact driver into a powerful socket driver, compatible with 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive sockets. Crafted from durable alloy steel with a black oxide finish, these adapters are impact-rated to handle high-torque applications, making them a versatile and robust addition to any tool kit for professional tradespeople and serious DIYers.
Converts Hex Drive to Square Drive: This set features three adapters that connect a 1/4" hex shank (standard for impact drivers) to 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" square drive sockets, transforming your tool's functionality.
Impact-Rated for Heavy-Duty Use: Part of the SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty series, these adapters are forged from high-strength alloy steel to withstand the intense torque and vibrations of impact drivers and wrenches without breaking or deforming.
Complete Size Coverage: The included three adapters provide immediate compatibility with the vast majority of socket sets, eliminating the need to purchase separate, dedicated socket drivers for each drive size.
Durable & Reliable Construction: The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance, while the robust alloy steel construction ensures long-lasting durability in demanding work environments.
Compact & Efficient Design: With a uniform overall length of 1 7/8 inches, these adapters are long enough for good leverage but compact enough to access tight spaces when used with sockets.
