Using 1/2 Impact Sockets on a 3/8 I-Wrench?

[Jbear]

Anyone just use their 1/2 sox on a 3/8 wrench with an adapter? I know I'd lose some torque in the linkage, but...enough to be significant?????
Just looking for your thoughts.
Thanks folks.

I have one of these. Works pretty well.

I use 1/2 impacts on my 3/8 subcompact dewalt regularly. Works fine

I have 3/8" Milwaukee mid-torque and use it with and 3/8->1/2 adapter for lug nuts. Zips the lugs off a Superduty and a 14K equipment trailer just fine... but I can also tell it "hooks up" better with a 3/8" socket, just feels snappier in the hand.

Here you go, you're question pertains to the bit around 2:40 looks like a big loss
