Suretorq 0189-0138CA 12″ 1/4″ Hex Shank to 3/8″ Impact Socket Adapter

The Suretorq 0189-0138CA is a 12″ long-reach, impact-ready adapter that converts a 1/4″ hex shank to a 3/8″ square drive, giving impact drivers access to medium-size fasteners in recessed or obstructed locations. Built from CrV 6150 steel with a black phosphate finish, it resists corrosion and wear in shop and field environments. A ball detent provides positive socket retention, and the extended length clears guards, frames, and ductwork so crews can work confidently without stacking multiple extensions. Paired with 3/8″ drive impact sockets, it suits bracket installs, equipment service, and routine maintenance where reach and control both matter.

Engineered for consistent engagement at distance, the hex input seats firmly in quick-change chucks and bit holders, while the 3/8″ square output interfaces smoothly with sockets to limit wobble. Sold one per pack, the adapter is easy to stock in service trucks and tool rooms so every driver can tackle 3/8″ drive tasks in tight, deep spaces.
