I needed an adapter to connect my sockets to my cordless drill. I came across these on Amazon for only $3.50. I really only needed them for one repair project I was working on so I didn't care if they only lasted me for the one use. To my amazement the are actually built really strong! My Stanley sockets and drive extensions snap on really tight. Actually almost too tight. I had to really pull to get them off. Which is fine with me. I would rather they be on tight then fall off every 30 seconds.



You get 3 adapters to fit sockets for: 1/4 inch 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch.



I am so glad I opted to buy this set vs. just the 3/8 inch one I found at our local Home Depot. Home Depot had the one adapter for almost twice as much as this whole set. In the end I ended up needing the 1/2 inch too so it was so worth buying the whole set.



The quality of these way surpassed my expectations. Now instead of throwing them away after my project was complete like I expected I am put them in my tool box with my sockets. I definitely will be using these more often!

GearWrench 80700 49-Piece 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point Socket Set

>>> BlackFriday GearWrench 80700 49-Piece 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point Socket Set

Technical Details


  • Patented low profile and performance head ratchet
  • Longer than most ratchets for added leverage
  • Full polished teardrop ratchet
  • Sockets have serration depth as deep as the fastener
  • Sockets are large hard stamped for easy identifications


I bought this set because I needed a high quality heavy duty yet comfortable set of 1/2" drive sockets. And that's exactly what I got with this product. The entire set is highly polished with heavy chrome so it looks and feels great. Although I love this socket set I do have two cons...the ratchet wrench does not have a quick release feature; in fact many ratchet wrenches in the Gearwrench line don't have quick release. With the 1/2 inch drive it's not a real big deal because the sockets are so heavy they are easily removed but it would be more important for the smaller size drives. Almost every other manufacturer incorporates quick release so I can't understand why Gearwrench doesn't on some of their sets. The other con is that the well made case does not have a handle. This set weighs 18 lbs so why is there no handle? Makes carrying the tools more difficult from my tool room to the work site. The case is only 2 1/2 inches tall though so it fits in tool drawers easily. Also the latches are very strong and when opened stay opened. There is nothing flimsy about this product. As I said though the tools are exceptional and I got the quality I was looking for. So much so that I also purchased the 3/8 inch set.
