I need to drive a square pin with a socket or socket extension bar and a ratchet.

Basically the square female side of a 3/8" socket extension bar fits perfectly, but that leaves me with the male 3/8" end and no way to connect a ratchet to it.

Does any manufacturer make something like a 3/8" extension or adaptor with 2 female ends ? Or some type of square female socket ?

What else could work without welding something together ?

How about you take a 5/8" head bolt, chuck that in your drill, put socket on the bolt head and drive away.

I'm too lazy to look up the individual part #, but the Grey Pneumatic 1211p has square drive sockets in male & female.

In a pinch, you can take 2 3/8 drive 1/4" sockets and put the socket end of each on a 1/4" drive bit. Use a piece of duct tape to hold together and it will work ok for a while. I've done this when I had to turn a valve stem in a hard to reach place with no handle.

You could also weld 2 cheap sockets together with square drives outward.

if there's no square drive sockets around you could just take a 7/16" 12pt socket and flip it.

3/8" drive, 3/8" female plug (square).

It's basically a female/female extension in 3/8". The amazon photo is incorrect. Check the SK catalog pdf.
