need just a little help to find a tool

[maddawg1952]

I need to know what something is called....it's a type of adapter that pushes into a socket so you can use a combination wrench to turn a socket. and who sells a decent black oxide set of 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" and even 3/4" if there's 1 available. I looked in anything I can think of using search terms socket adapters ratchet adapters with no luck, even looked in HF . I've seen them b4 and have used 1 previouslythat I borrowed just can't find any to buy.

I saw them in a snapon book. But can't find it rite now. You can get the Max access adapters to work probably

save yourself the cost of a specialized set like that.... just get the pieces, they can be had at harbor freight, lowes, northern tool, and any number of places.


one example here. but there are any number of different kinds all over

[maddawg1952]

Needs to be as short as possible more like just a hex nut above the socket,Ilooked at HF even asked 2 guys they looked at me with the dear in the headlight look so I moved on. GRRRR. Tried Mcmaster carr online, no luck if I knew what it was called I might have better luck, a saltus wrench would work I really don't want to buy a 1 1/4" one for a once or twice in a lifetime adjustment

I've seen them else where too but these are the ones that I remember. I'm sure there are plenty of other companies that sell them

Snap On calls them ratcheting wrench adaptors.

Socket hex cap

 

[maddawg1952]

thanks jjrmx5
those aren't available from SO , think I'll just tig weld a 3/4 grade 5 nut to an extension I'll have to sacrifice . till I find what I really want

 

[Rezeppa]

I have a craftsman set I purchased a few years ago for a specific serpentine belt. I will get the part # Monday at work. You can also get key stock in 1/4,3/8,1/2 sizes and cut them so you can throw an open end wrench on the socket that's what I used to do.

 

[jjjrmx5]

Here's the pdf sell sheet from snap-on from 2008 on them.

I guess 5 years later they didn't sell many.


http://image.snapon.com/international/pdf/rwa404fr.pdf

I thought the singles were still available in teh std. sizes as they had prices by them in green when searching today.

Hmmm...

Ha.
Based on here they are still around as singles.

[maddawg1952]

Thanks the part # would be greatly appreciated. I need just a touch more leverage on a nut to back it off enough to loosen it. on an auger thats part of a feed to a concrete plant in our yard, that I welded a guard over the assembly . I don't want to cut it off for a 1 minute adjustment. Never thought of this when I did it to protect it from being covered in concrete slurry from the wash down rack next to the plant. Spring has sprung and its time to fire the mixer up for the season next week.

Actually, those adaptors work in any plain old combonation wrench or open end wrench.

The only thing ratching about them is they aimed them at the ratchting wrench market. The adaptors are the same as listed above with a few extra features.
See my edit two posts above and the snap ons are still available as singles and in stock.

I;ve used them many times with plain old combo wrenches.
They just can be pricey.

wow, you know what's funny is I bought a set of these couple of years ago and didn't like the way the socket would fall off the handle when I least expected it. I left a socket behind on a nut a few times also . So I gave them to my daughters b/f. I wonder if he still has them. I don't remember if they went up to 1 1/4"

Thanks again, didn't look like I could slip the box end over the top of it to reposition the wrench with the black plastic thing on the top was my only concern otherwise that's a nice idea for the ratcheting wrench in this kind of situation if I had the room . (or a set of ratcheting wrenches) They been on my wish list for a long time.

Socket hex cap

Ok now I'm getting somewhere. Sears Item # 00943303000PModel # 433033 pc. socket cap set. Use with [TT_Wrench] to turn sockets in limited access areas, such as those with low clearance. Includes 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 in. socket caps. Guaranteed forever! THIS is what I wanted. THANKS!!!!!! Now I know why I spend so much time in this forum!!! Lots of people with lots of knowledge, willing to share with others.

 

[mvptrukin]

I have the K-D/ Gearwrench version of the socket caps as shown here:
www.tooltopia.com/kd-tools-3435.aspx
The hex isn't as tall as the craftsman. The items with the quick release are marketed towards ratchet wrench use like members have mentioned and work great but are fairly tall--I have the GW model also and look like they are made in the same Taiwan factory as the Snap-on items.

I know I've seen the exact thing at Harbor Freight when I was in-store in the past, however I can't seem to find them online.

EDIT: Found them.

Thanks again to all those that took a minute to reply. Sears is in the same complex as my Drs. appointment tomorow, so will try them if they don't have it . I'll try HF 1 more time on the way home if not Tooltopia is just a click away.

I just bought a 3/8'th's one of these from Lowes, Kobalt made. It was a stocked item individually packaged and they had 1/4 and 1/2 drive available also. Only thing that sucked was they don't come with the o-ring to keep the adapter in your wrench

This is the part # I was going to get for you. Good luck!

Why not try some square bar stock?

 

[maddawg1952]

UPDATE: Sears had them in stock at my local store $12.99 guarranteed forever. So that's the 2nd good thing so far today, Doctor said I could go back to work full time after today! Be good to get back as I have only been doing a few hrs a week and when I'd have to relieve someone that was to tired to plow snow. So my G/J lottering will become a night time experience only,once again. Sad to say. Read a lot of interesting stuff in the last 4 months. And probably annoyed more than a few people too. THANKS!!!
