Fixman Socket Adaptor 3/8" Female x 1/2" Male Square Drive

At a Glance: Square drive adaptor with a 3/8" female connection and 1/2" male connection for using compatible 1/2" drive sockets with 3/8" drive tools

The Fixman FIX J0703 socket adaptor is designed to connect a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet, handle or extension bar to a 1/2" drive socket or accessory. Its 3/8" female square drive receives the smaller drive tool, while the 1/2" male square drive accepts the larger socket. This practical adaptor expands the compatibility of an existing socket collection and is useful for automotive, workshop, machinery, maintenance, assembly and repair applications.

Connect 3/8" drive tools to compatible 1/2" drive sockets

The adaptor provides a convenient transition between two common square drive sizes. It allows selected 1/2" drive sockets to be used with a compatible 3/8" drive tool where the required torque remains within the safe working capability of the smaller drive system.
