sliding bar with female square drive - do they exist?

[tommydog35]

I am looking for somethign similar to the photo below (preferably in 1/4" drive). Can't remember where I saw this, but note the female drive, unlike most which have male drive. Does anyoune make these?

Where did the one in the picture come from?
You can get the male drive version and the pop a square drive socket on it

I have a 1/2" drive one, don't ever remember seeing a 1/4" drive. You might be able to find a lathe chuck wrench similar to that, or maybe put an 8 point socket on a reg male tee handle?
HTH, Jim

Edit, I guess Bob types faster than me.

Not sure where the picture came from, I foudn it sometime ago when I was browsing for things.

Ragtop where did you get your 1/2" female one from?

Take a 1/4 to 1/2" adapter and stick it in the one in the picture

That would not help, I don't have the one in the picture. I am looking for one with a female drive like the one in the picture.

I get it. I was more referring to the fact that if they don't exist (as was eluded in other comments) that finding a 3/8" version (like the one pictured) and then sticking a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter into it would work, albeit it would be taller.

Yes but I have not found a 3/8" one or any other size. Ragtop suggested he may have a 1/2" one so it woudl be interesting to see where he got it from.

Quite often you'll see this style. It's actually a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter, so it has a 1/2" female drive. I have never seen a 1/4" though. What would you use it for?

 

[tommydog35]

Thanks for that. I have just seen Teng do a 3/8" (M380035-C) one, but don't think anyone does 1/4". Think I will just get the Teng one and put it on a bar, unless anyone does a decent quality one already on the bar?

Sorry, don't really know where I got mine, must have come in one of many used tool boxes/collections I've acquired over the years. I stuck a piece of 1/2" keystock in mine to make it into a wrench for the D1-6 chuck camlocks on my big lathe. Couple pics, and then I found a couple male-male 1/2" extensions that were maybe meant to be used with the handle?

Sorry I have never seen one of them.
Nor have I seen what pozidriv showed either.
More tools to look for.

The adapters typically don't work as a T-Bar in the female size.

neiko makes a set of nut-strivers with squate drive shafts that come in a set with a female square drive T-handle.

It actually looks like a cool design/

Thanks for posting the pictures ragtop, that looks cool.

That's interesting, do you have a link for these as I can't find them?

 

[pozidriv]

Looks like this is a 1/4"
Proxxon 23564

KS-tools makes 'em as well: https://www.autoteile-schork.de/Sho...erungsadapter-14F-x-38M_8339,de,148796,120720
Really cheap, but all the KS-tools I have are good quality! (although the picture looks terrible)

If you can't find one, I've got a 1/4" I can give ya for free and just drop in a small envelope.

Came with a big bunch of sliders I bought years ago but never found a use for it.

LMK and PM me if interested.

[tommydog35]

Thanks for the link. Any idea what size the female drive is on the Neiko set? Is it 3/8?

 

[T45]

The snap on ratcheting screwdriver has similar-looking shafts, I want to say in 1/4 square...I was kind of thinking the neiko nut-driver shafts would plug and play with that setup...but I might just be wishful thinking......

Maybe a 1/4 inch tap bar?
