Wera 05050205001 Socket Adapter 1/4 Inch Hex to Square

Product Description

The WERA 05050205001 is a socket adapter that converts a 1/4 inch square drive female socket to a 1/4 inch hex bit male drive. It bridges square-drive ratchets and handles to hex bit accessories, allowing a single driver to work with both drive formats. At 2 inches overall length and weighing under a tenth of a pound, it is compact enough for tight service locations. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers use adapters like this to reduce the number of handles and ratchets needed on a service call. The 05050205001 accepts standard 1/4 inch hex insert bits on the male end and connects to any 1/4 inch square drive tool on the female end.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial service work where technicians frequently switch between square-drive sockets and hex bit accessories. It is commonly used in panel work, equipment installation, and general mechanical service where confined spaces make full-size ratchet setups impractical. The compact 2 inch overall length makes it a practical addition to any service pouch or tool roll used in the field.
