Additional information

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CADP3814

A chrome socket adaptor that steps down from 3/8in drive to 1/4in drive, so a 3/8in ratchet, extension or torque wrench can turn small 1/4in drive sockets and bit holders. It saves carrying a second handle when one or two small fixings turn up in the middle of a job.

Good to know

What is the catch with stepping down? A 3/8in handle gives much more leverage than a small 1/4in socket is made for, so pull gently or the small socket or the adaptor can twist.
Can I put it on an impact wrench? No, this is a chrome adaptor for hand tools. For power tools use the impact version.
Will it fit my 1/4in sockets? Any 1/4in square drive socket or bit holder will push on; seat it fully so it does not drop off into the engine bay.

Which one?

For impact or air tools, the Carlyle 3/8in Drive Female x 1/4Drive Male Impact Reducer (CIADP3814); for steady small work, a dedicated 1/4in handle such as the Carlyle 1/4in Drive 90-Tooth Ratchet 135mm Long (CR1490) gives better feel.
