That adapter is nice to have as a back up in your kit or for someone that can't afford both tools. But if you are using a impact driver as a daily tool don't think buying a imapact wrench and this adapter is the ultimate solution because its not. Impact drivers don't hit as hard but have higher rpm's for driving screws faster. This is a good adapter for people that work on cars and don't really need a dedicated driver but may want the option to remove the occasional screws with a power tool instead of a screwdriver.

This looks 100x better than going the other way. (Impact with wrench adapter) Sweet!

Good presentation. I was just this week standing in a Home Depot trying to get someone, anyone to tell me something about impact tools. After about a half hour, I left. This video is quite timely and now I know I will buy the Milwaukee 1/2 inch anvil medium weight impact WRENCH! Thank you!

That's better than turning an impact driver into a wrench, like many of us have done. Mainly because a driver is usually weaker than a wrench, and it's better to have something stronger in case you need it.

I bought a Ryobi impact wrench and it came with one of these from the factory.

been using this adapter for a few years on my Ridgid Sub-Compact...drill a few screws when needed, and can break a few bolts without going back to the rig...love this adapter

I got the dewalt one from lowes for $7, pretty awesome accessory! There are ones for 3/8 as well and also keyless/keyed drill chuck adapters!

Great tip! Thanks to your vid I just bought the Makita 1/2” sq to 1/4” hex adaptor along with a 33pc 1/4” hex Makita screw and drill bit set to pair with my Milwaukee Mid Torque Gen2. You just saved me $300 from not buying an impact driver and drill!

Ironworker Doug here; nice addition there, but the wife got me , wait for it , The Bosh Freak for Christmas I’m so happy I cried! Thanks

I got my milwaukee m18 compact a milwaukee adapter. Plan the whole time, works awesome!!

That's a great idea. Never thought of that. I never thought they have an adapter. That's cool . I'm getting one of those. Thanks for the video. You have a nice n healthy NEW YEAR .🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳

I almost bought another driver for drill bits and fasteners and screws and so forth. The adapter accessory is ingenious. Thanks a bunch.

Great video, thank you for sharing this. I will definitely buy that adapter.

Bought the Milwaukee version about a year or so ago. Does come in handy if you don't feel like having two tools, or braking hex to square adapters. Have a 3/8 as well.

This is awesome. Even having both, a wrench and driver, is good to have just in case the driver dies

you beat me too this video. I bought this 1/4 to 1/2 socket a week ago. still need to make a video on it.

I literally bought two of these two days ago before watching this 🥰

I just wanted to add one more comment for others benefit another house fire in lost my husband of 27 years and after sleeping on the ground in a tent for over a year I decided to try and rebuild on the property and found out real quick how much I didn't know and if any of you have ever walked into Lowe's or Home Depots or any of the big companies and ask for advice you already know that the first thing they do is direct you to the most expensive thing they can and don't really tell you nothing except for this is what you want and so that left me high and dry quite often since I have found your site which is very well spoken I now am confident and beginning to build a small little place to call my home again which I have gained from your sights you have three very important factors and your continuous with them number one you check out the product and you put it out there straightforward without trying to drag it into a 3-hour video that tells you about one minute information which a lot of sites do to you make it a point to explain it and detail it as well as review it and you give a price approximate which is a big deal if you're on very limited income and want to do the right thing with the right tool and with your tips suggestions and the visual demonstrations and honesty I feel completely confident I know exactly what I need when I walk in to the store or start a project for all these qualities above I thank you once more and when I finish I will send you a pic just so you guys can see that you made a difference thank you kindly stay safe & Jesus keep you close

The Bosch Freak is a hybrid that does both out of the box. The newer brushless model is plenty powerful enough

Wow!!!! Mind blown!!! Imma tell all my friends. Thank you for making me sound like a genius😂😂

Yeah I bought that. Will expand the tools capabilities for a small cost. Will see how they hold up to our abuse! Thanks for the info

Love your videos, for ALL four of the reasons you listed. Have a safe and wonderful New Year!!

man I wish I found out about this earlier in life haha, I just did a job where I had to remove/reinstall 200 t40 torx deck bolts at a marina to run an electrical line. Most of those t40's broke loose ok but some were too strong for my Ridgid Octane driver even with an Octane battery. If I had that adapter I might have been able to use my mid torque impact wrench to break those bolts loose. Either that or break the t40 bits haha. Either way it was an extreme pain when a screw wouldn't come out and I had to skip that board and work around it. Thanks for this great advice, I think I'm going to get one myself!

I love it! Except one thing... I’ve been doing this forever with a reducer and a quarter inch mag socket 😂😂😂 And I mean on my air impacts so it’s been a while that I’ve been doing this.

I put one of these on an old impact gun. I use it occasionally for odd things at home. It’s not anything special but it’s versatile enough to justify the few dollars I spent on it. At some point I will probably replace it with a M-12 1/4” drive impact driver.

I just had one from Milwaukee delivered yesterday and I must say it's real nice like you know

Yeah my stubby has more speed control than majority of drill drivers out there; love the auto drive function to prevent me from destroying things with the cam out

Definitely a useful video. I totally agree, this is a great video

You are the man!! Why has no one mentioned this before? This adapter all you need is your impact wrench and you already got the driver and typically save $150 or more by not having to buy a second tool good job keep up the good work 👍

Unfortunately I discovered impact drivers before I determined I needed an impact wrench. I did buy the wrench later, too, though -- the 1/2in Ridgid Octane impact wrench. But you are spot on, Clint. I could've saved some significant $$$ if I hadn't done it "in the wrong order."

Had one of these for years, they're included with the type of impact driver you hit with a hammer.

Lol I literally just got on amazon and think I bought the last one. Thanks!

I just ordered it thanks much

Those are real nice like. Gotta get me one.

I KNEW IT!!!! those damn makita gnomes killed your compact ridgid radio DAMN IT

Thanks for the video. I always appreciate your videos. As far as Impact drivers vs. wrenches go, I am afraid I would be over torquing the fasteners. Not a huge problem in new construction, just get another screw, but for OEM parts it worries me. NOTE: I am a DIY/Hobby man. My opinions are my own. Lol

Definitely comes in the clutch lol. I like how you put links in the description too good channel.

I would and am going to use this idea lol I accidentally bought an impact wrench. But after looking into it, my specific impact wrench is pretty low torque compared to a lot of them, so I think it'll work pretty well, albeit it a tad slower maybe than an an impact driver. Cool tip

Hay brother went to Home Depot today picked up the Milwaukee M12 brushless fuel 3/8 impact wrench I ended up paying $50 tool only because I brought a friend of mine he's in a motorcycle club and his friend purchased the Husky 60 gallon stand-up air compressor for his shop I think I said to you yesterday Sarah asking $250 regular price almost $700 if I wanted it I could have got it for $150. My friend paid 250 plus tax and say hook me up with the impact wrench very impressed can't wait to use it.

Cool video brother that Milwaukee m12 1/2 inch stubby is perfect. You enough power for lug nuts also.

Thanks bro, needed this

Yup it awesome as a lineman I have 1/2 in to 7/16 to drill with augers and lineman socket on my m12 1/2 in impact

Thank you for the information

Thx for the tip! I got it!❤

I have the M12 impact driver and I have the M12 stubby I can pull out to do this if I run into something the M12 driver can't do. Which I haven't run into yet. Also I have the 6.0 M12 battery so that helps. I got a $3 adapter to go to 1/4 hex from 3/8 square for the stubby from Menards. Basically I plan to never or barely ever use the stubby for screws but nice to have in case I need it. .

Nice idea, thanks for sharing.

This is great! However, I’m really enjoying my Milwaukee M12 1/2 stubby impact and 1/4 impact driver I picked up recently, definitely worth every penny!

I learned about these thru manufacturing ambulances. I have apex brand and northern tool 3/8 to 1/4 to use with air butterfly impact wrench.

Love the idea!!!!

A Great Idea! Thanks!

Impact wrench only has rotary impacts. Impact driver has rotary and axial impacts. The axial impact is what keeps the philips screw bits not jumping out of the head.

Outstanding , one on the way !!

Nice accessorie I have the Milwaukee version of these i have the 3/8 and the 1/2 models that run the 1/4 bits they work great nice find @ToolReviewZone

Bosch Freak does both wrench n drive.

Definitely a help saving money. Real nice like. Happy New Year

Damn, that’s some nice lighting and backdrop. Stepping up that production quality. 👍

Great video bro :) but i think the difference is that wobble but impact driver its more stable :) but wrench to driver its working

You could tell your friend to get Freaky. The Bosch Freak has the ability to take 1/4in bits and 1/2in sockets. Lowe's has the HD version on sale for $99. They have the older version at $89 but it's not as powerful so it's worth the extra $10.

Your a genius!

You should do a tool zone review competition of the new milwaukee impact wrench vs the gen 3 impact

Yo TRZ! The guy could get an impact wrench and a set of driver sockets. 🤷‍♂️ I guess that could be more costly and create more clutter. Just a thought. Cool adapter and thanks for the video and info! Take care, happy new year, and God bless. 😁🎸👍

Also just want to say Happy New Year once again this has been a great year I hope this year is even better and you and your family have nothing but success great health and safety happy New Year brother😎🍻👍👊

BOOM, that just happened. Enjoy the vids and great humor 👍

This nice but every new impact should have an anvil like the Bosh Freak. Best of both worlds.

No kidding. Wow u amaze me with your genius

Great tool, Love the video, Happy New year!

Or your friend could just pick up the Bosch Freak combo impact wrench / driver. But seriously, nice vid as I was not aware of that accessory.

I absolutely loved this video...Thanks

I actually did this before. main advantage is its overpowered for any driving you throw at it. especially when driving lag bolts. just use quality screws though. because its gonna snap cheap chinese screws.

Even though an impact is SLOWER than a driver, the wrench will definitely sink the 4 inch T40 lag screw faster than a driver will. A lot of swingssets/junglegyms use hundreds of those enourmous T40 lags

You know it’s funny about a year ago I got a Chinese knock off Makita half-inch impact it has that already built on the anvil it came in handy a couple times already great video though

been using 1/4” sockets to run a bit with impact in pinch since the beginning of using tools.

I bought this same thing but for my 3/8ths impact

My ryobi impact wrench came with an adapter to make it into a driver. Tried to drive a screw and it snapped it off right away when it started impacting. The wrenches hit different. They have heavier springs and anvils. Probably works nice on the smaller impact wrenches like what you used. I like using my impact drivers as a impact wrench with the socket adapters. But never the impact wrench as a driver.

That’s definitely real nice like. If you use a magnet bit BAM awesomeness

this video looks REAL NASSSS LIKE

I have a socket bit that works for that but it’s not locking I use it on my M 12 ratchet as a 90° driver

Happy New Year Clint! Great review. ;-)

Saw one of these on sale in Canada at our store called Princess Auto of late. Why I am here. Seeing if they are legit. Glad to see they are. Thanks! Bought a makita small 1/2" wrench since it went on sale, for taking machines apart on the farm or changing tires. Seems handy and wanted to make it more handy. If something is really fucked it'll have to be by my garage anyway so then I can break out the 3/4" air wrench if shit isn't going to move🤣. So figured why not. Glad to see this little wrench is going to be worked like a dog now putting tin on buildings and everything else without having to shell out 300 -500 more for an impact driver

Awesome videos man I love your videos and how well you make them

Happy New Year Clint!!!

U can also get sds to normal hex bit ❤

I have the adapters for the 3/8" and 1/2" impact wrenches and a 7/16 hex to 1/2" square. Smeesh that like button. 👀👉🏽 👍🏽

I bought these. Found them too deep for 25mm bits. Also using them hard the bits would get stuck inside. Bought the DeWalt adapter in the end. Mush better. Quick insert on handed. Can still use 25mm bits and still get them out. Bits don't get jammed. Maybe have a look at the DeWalt for an upgrade. Yes its more expensive and you only get one. One is all you need.

dewalt makes a 1/2 adapter and i have a 3/8 milwaukee one that I can use with stubby

I just bought this from Amazon thanks, but what is that little pin and rubber ring seal ment for that it comes with?

Just ordered a DeWalt 889 (Like it better then the 899) half inch. Think I ordered the GQR halfway through your video :)

That’s exactly the setup I just got. Works great but had trouble finding that accessory- until yesterday lol

Got the bosch freak

Actually gonna order this too but can u recommend a strong impact reducer 1/2-3/8 drive ??

Can you do a video on a right angle impact attachment ? Awesome vids 👍

I've got a 3/8 one too. The salesman tried to get me to go the other way and buy the bit driver and put socket adaptors in that. He actually got pissed that I went the way I did.

Irwin makes a really nice black oxide impact 1/4 hex adapter.

I did that with my m12 stubby. I got the Tekton adapter, and now I wish I didn’t get my m12 impact, and went for a surge instead.

Hey thanks for the videos which one is better 3/8 or 1/2. I am undecided to buy one (Milwaukee)

Awesome toy

Yo TRZ! HAPPY NEW YEAR Brother!

That is a great accessory. Will it work with the friction ring or only with the pin detent?

@ToolReviewZone is there an adapter that changes the size of the anvil. For example, can I change a half inch anvil to a 3/8 anvil?

Does impact wrench has clutch like driver ? Which shuts engine off when it reaches the threshold ? Thank you
