Hex Shank to Power Socket Square Drive and Impact Square Drive Adapters
Use sockets with tools that accept hex shanks, such as impact drivers and power drills. Made for durability, these sockets are for use with nonimpact power tools in high-volume production and assembly. They are also made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Impact Quick-Change Socket Adapters
Pull the collar to quickly attach and remove sockets. Attach to an impact wrench that has a pin-style socket retainer, or use a compatible socket retaining ring and attach to tools that have a hole- or hole-and-ring style socket retainer. These adapters are made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Quick-Change
Chuck for Hex Shank Bit
Lock your bit into the adapter to prevent accidental disengagement. Use hex-shank bits (also known as insert bits) in drills and powered screwdrivers. These adapters have a groove in the shank to fit in a power-tool chuck.
To secure a bit in adapters with quick-change chuck, pull back on the chuck to insert the bit and then push it forward to lock the bit place.
To secure a bit in twist-lock adapters, tighten the knurled end.
Adapters that have nonmagnetic bit holders won’t attract loose metal parts and shavings.

Screw-Guiding Bit Adapters
Keep bits from slipping. Insert a bit into the adapter, place a screw on the end of the bit, and slide the adapter sleeve over the screw. The sleeve retracts as the screw is driven. Use hex-shank bits (also known as insert bits) in drills and powered screwdrivers.
Plastic sleeve is clear so you can see that the bit is making contact.

Bit Adapters for Impact Drivers
These adapters are designed to withstand the high torque of impact drivers. They have a groove in the shank to fit in the tool’s chuck and accept hex-shank bits (also known as insert bits) as well as hex-shank bits for power tools.

Bit Assortments
These assortments contain general-purpose bits.
Hex shank bits (also known as insert bits) are used in hand drivers or with a bit adapter in power tools.
Hex shank bits for power tools have a groove in the shank and fit directly into power tools without an adapter. They offer more reach for recessed holes and less wobble compared to a hex shank bit used with an adapter.
