Carlyle 3/8 Drive -1/2 Drive Socket Adaptor (CADP3812)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CADP3812

Carlyle's CADP3812 is a socket adaptor between 3/8in and 1/2in square drives, made from chrome vanadium alloy steel with a polished chrome finish. It lets you use sockets from one drive size on a tool of the other, handy when the size you need is only in the other set.

Good to know

• Which way round does it go? The title gives 3/8in and 1/2in but not which end is female; check the photos or the item before relying on it for a particular ratchet and socket.
• Is the adaptor the weak point? It can be. If a small ratchet drives big sockets through it, don't pile on extra leverage to free a tight bolt; use a proper 1/2in breaker bar instead.
• Can I use it with an impact gun? No. It is chrome vanadium with a chrome finish, and chrome accessories can crack or shatter under impact; use an impact reducer on a gun.

Which one?

For impact tools, the Carlyle 1/2 Female -3/8DR Male Impact Reducer (CIADP1238) is the impact reducer between 1/2in and 3/8in; the Carlyle 3/8Drive -1/4 Drive Socket Adaptor (CADP3814) links 3/8in and 1/4in.
