Milwaukee Impact socket adaptor 1/2in to 3/8in-1 Piece Size 1/2in. to 3/8in. (4932480354)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932480354

A SHOCKWAVE step-down adaptor from Milwaukee, part 4932480354, taking a 1/2in drive tool down to 3/8in sockets. It lets a 1/2in impact wrench, ratchet or breaker bar drive the 3/8in sockets used for most engine-bay fixings, so you don't need a second gun or a full second set to get a stubborn engine bolt moving.

Good to know

• What is the catch with stepping down? A 1/2in tool can put more force through a 3/8in socket and a small bolt than they are made for, so set a gun to a low setting and ease off once the bolt moves.
• Can I use it on a breaker bar for a seized bolt? Yes, that is a common use, but pull steadily and keep everything square; a sideways push snaps small sockets and adaptors.
• Why choose an impact adaptor for hand tools? It takes both, so one adaptor covers the gun and the bar, and the ball detent keeps the socket from dropping into the engine bay.

Which one?

The reverse step, a 3/8in tool to 1/2in sockets, is the Milwaukee Impact socket adaptor 3/8in to 1/2in-1 Piece (4932480300); a live alternative is the Carlyle 1/2 Female -3/8DR Male Impact Reducer (CIADP1238).
