Adapters and connecting parts link tools and inserts with different drive and output sizes or shapes. This allows, for example, reversible ratchets for screwdriver bits, Torque wrenches, socket adapters, bits and power screwdrivers to be suitable for one another.

The drive end is the side through which the adapter receives the force. The output end transmits the force to the connected tool or socket. Both ends must match each other in shape and size.

This is important when making a selection

• The drive and output must be compatible with the intended tool combination.
• The permitted method of operation is binding: adapters designed for manual operation must not be used with machinery.
• Machine-operated adapters must only be used with the machinery and applications specified on the relevant product page.
