Irwin IWAF26238B10 Hex to Square Adapter Bit 0.25 in Drive

Product Description

The IRWIN IWAF26238B10 is a hex to square adapter bit designed for use with power screwdrivers and impact drivers. It accepts a 0.25 inch hex shank from the tool and converts it to a 0.25 inch square drive output, allowing a standard hex-drive power tool to operate square drive sockets and bits. The overall length is 2 inches. A ball lock mechanism secures the adapter in place during operation, reducing the chance of the socket backing off under load. This adapter is a standard item for HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who carry square drive sockets but work primarily with hex-shank power tools.

This adapter fits into standard 0.25 inch hex-chuck power screwdrivers, impact drivers, and drill drivers. It is well suited for residential and light commercial service work where a technician needs to switch between square drive and hex drive accessories without changing tools. Typical applications include panel work, equipment installation, and general fastening tasks across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades. The compact 2 inch length keeps the tool-to-fastener stack short in confined spaces.

Installation Notes
