Default Anyone know where I can get a .....

3/4 in - 1/2 in drive adapter? I have a 3/4 in drive socket set but the smallest socket is 7/8in!! I want to utilize the 3/4 in drive set more.

To do this I need an adapter 3/4 in drive to 1/2 inch. I tried Craftsman and a few auto supply stores....was told no one makes such a beast!

Any Ideas??
Thanks
Len

Thanks Pat, I found a 3-piece set at Harbor Freight for $3.99. 3/8-1/4, 1/2-3/8 & 3/4-1/2 for $3.99!!

I checked out Snap-on tools too! They didn't have one, but I can't believe their prices$$$

You should be able to break every bolt on a car w/ a 1/2" set & breakover bar. Works for me, found out on my first car. It did allow quick removal of the front bumper. :cool:

I agree with Ganey, but to each his own. I use 3/4" sockets at work, but for nothing smaller than 1 1/4" bolts.

I agree----I was looking to use this on my Sub----especially after the mechanics tighten up lug-bolts with 1 800ft/lb air wrench! I also had a heck of a time with the rear shock bolts last summer.

So far the Vette hasn't given me as many "tight-bolt" problems.
