DEWALT DW2298 1/2-Inch Square to 1/4-Inch Adaptor Hex Rapid Load , Black

This item is perfect for my needs. I gave it 5 stars because of that reason alone.

I bought this thing as a joke for our crew but then we started using it with our 1/2” impact so we wouldn’t have to carry another small impact with us. This is honestly really handy to have around and will sink screws with ease

Has came off of my Dewalt impact a couple times while in use seems a little loose fitting I’ve had a couple months

Have your 1/2 impact wrench double as heavyweight 1/4 impact driver. Overkill for most situations, but for some applications it is quite handy.

good product but does not include any instruction for application

Was hoping to leave behind my drill and carry a small dewalt impact wrench for ultimate flexibilty. however it isnt balanced, but this is for rough work. i suppose i can ad a counter weight but nah. dont try to use this with a small diameter hex drill bit with your impact wrench, or small diameter head drivers. actually found this cheaper at a big box store...

The adapter is a bit wobbly on my DeWalt 1/2 impact driver, but no more than any other socket would be. It seems sturdy enough as far as the body and locking mechanism. My big gripe with it is that it holds DeWalt impact screwdriver bits (normal one sided type) too deep in the chuck, making it difficult to place the tip of the bit. The double-sided bits fit fine but are much harder to find locally and even online. Shipping from Amazon was fast and it was packed well, as usual. I would recommend as a temporary solution for 1/2 to 1/4 conversion, and until something better comes along I will be using it daily.

This adapter is pretty cool. It lets you use your 1/4-inch hex shank bits with 1/2-inch impact wrenches. Which effectively turns them into powerful impact drivers. This lets me get a lot more use out of my impact wrench than I would otherwise.

I just bought this item and used it for some light residential framing, pairing it with my newly purchased Dewalt 1/2 impact driver (I wanted to tools in one) I thought this adapter would easily accommodate my 1/4 hex shank Dewalt impact bit set. Not the case. The longer shanks, without a lip, will not lock in place. Only the smallest tips will lock, leaving only about 3/16 of the bit exposed. Not very useful. To top it off, the locking coupler mechanism failed within 3-4 hours. I would have thought this coupler would adapt the same vendors 1/4 impact driver bits. I was wrong. Maybe I am totally naive and I am using it incorrectly. Someone correct me if that is the case.

The Christmas present half inch Impact drill/driver now serves as a perfect Drill with this lovely attachment! Cheaper than buying another drill----Then again, boys and toys! Amazon says to be delivered early April, arrived well ahead of their stated....
