Wera 05042655001 Socket Adapter 3/8 to 1/4 Inch Drive

Product Description

The WERA 05042655001 is a socket adapter that converts a 3/8 inch square drive to a 1/4 inch hex bit drive. It allows technicians to use 1/4 inch hex bit accessories on tools equipped with a 3/8 inch square drive. The adapter measures 1-3/16 inches in overall length and weighs approximately 0.05 pounds. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and other trade professionals use this adapter to expand the versatility of their existing drive sets without switching to a separate tool. The compact size makes it easy to carry in a tool bag or pouch.

This adapter suits residential and commercial service work where a technician needs to run hex bit attachments from a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or impact tool. It is well suited for equipment access panels, control box fasteners, and equipment enclosures that use hex drive fasteners. The short overall length of 1-3/16 inches keeps the tool profile low in tight spaces.

Installation Notes

No dedicated installation is required for this adapter.

Inspect the adapter for wear or damage before each use, particularly in impact applications.
