Apex UG-EX-370-2 Impact Drive Socket Adapter

Product Description

The APEX UG-EX-370-2 is an impact drive socket adapter designed to bridge a 3/8 inch square male drive to a 1/4 inch hex female drive. With an overall length of 2 inches, this adapter allows technicians to use 1/4 inch hex-drive bits and sockets with tools equipped with a 3/8 inch square drive. It meets ANSI standards and is built for the torque demands of impact drivers used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work. The compact size makes it a practical addition to any service technician's drive set.

This adapter is suited for trade professionals who regularly switch between drive sizes on the job. It fits common service scenarios where a 3/8 inch impact wrench or ratchet needs to drive 1/4 inch hex accessories such as nut drivers, hex bits, or small sockets. Typical applications include equipment panel fastener work, electrical enclosure access, and mechanical assembly tasks in both residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this adapter by hand before applying impact torque. Ensure the square drive end is fully seated in the tool and the hex accessory is fully engaged in the female end before use. Inspect the adapter for wear or deformation before each use, as impact-rated adapters should be retired if cracks, rounding, or play develop. No special tools are required for installation.
