Adaptive

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As this is just an adaptive piece we were able to use it during a fencing project! The ease at which it was able to be added to our already owned piece was super easy! Craftsman products are a must have for our household.

Typical socket adapter

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Would be nice if they could design these tougher at the neck as i keep breaking them by hand. Keep spares on hand until you can get them to a warranty location.

Great adapter!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This adapter worked great on my socket wrench. The finish on it is very nice and it is a quality tool.

Good quality

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 1/2 to 3/8 inch adapter is a good steel quality. It is chromed well and deburred well. Another pro is that it is able to fit in a smaller/tighter area. Con could be that the male 3/8 could break using extra force.

Simple Adapter that Everyone Needs

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great, simple adapter that everyone needs at least one of. It is well make and should last me many years. This is helpful for me to use with my torque wrenches because they are all 1/2” drive, and it’s easier to use my 3/8” drive sockets for some applications. It has worked great as a universal adapter for my various brands of sockets and ratchets too. Overall, a simple adapter that is a necessary accessory in everyone’s toolboxes.

Use carefully if you want it to last

Purchased to replace broken adapter. Have purchased this same adapter several times previously. They work great but break if too much force is applied.
