A real good knuckle saver, and if you have a good drill, then this adaptor will save you time and aggravation.

Converts my drill for socket use quickly and easily. Great adapter.

I use these in my impact driver. The seem to hold up well. I have driven about 100 lags and have only broken 1 of these tips. I am sure that it would be equally as useful in a standard drill/driver. Be sure to buy a couple because they are easy to misplace.

Works great just what I was looking for. Sure beats turning a ratchet when driving alot of bolts. Nice Gadget!

Although this is not "Impact Rated", I've been using it rigorously with all of my impact drivers without issue. And I REALLY put my drivers through the ringer. Lag bolts, car bolts, concrete bolts, etc. and this little guy handles them all. To be honest, with as much as I use this, I really thought at least the ball bearing would wear and not keep the socket on, but it's as tight as it was the day I got it. I'm quite happy with it.

Bought this for my Milwaukee impact driver because I didn't see the Milwaukee shockwave one available on amazon. So far it's held up for two uses and I bet it will last for a while. It fit in my driver well and held craftsman sockets well. I'm satisfied with my purchase for sure

This adapter easily inserts into my Dewalt 1/4-inch impact driver by simply pushing it into the front of the tool. I have quite a few 3/8-inch sockets of various sizes so having this adapter provides more flexibility in deciding which tools to gather to take to a job site. The Dewalt quality is evident in this little gadget and the price and service at Amazon makes this a highly recommended buy.

I bought this for my Milwaukee impact wrench for installing security cameras on cinder block walls. I was able to use a 3/8" socket with self tapping masonry bolts without swapping out tools on a 24' ladder. I felt for the time savings alone it was worth having.

Great little tool to have in your toolbox. Inexpensive, yet seems to be quality-built. I just wish it would fit on my drill's bit holder. It is too long to securely latch in there.

I was glad to find this item on Amazon.com's website. 1/4" adaptors are so common but the sockets that use that drive only go up to about 1/2". Using this you can go up almost if not to 7/8" which can be useful. Heck one day my dad and I were working in the basement of our house and he didn't have a 1/4" adapter handy so WE got out this one and went to work. WHen I saw this I bought two one for him and one for myself.
