Makita A-97031 ImpactX 1/4 x 6 Socket Adapter

The Makita A-97031 ImpactX Socket Adapter is part of the ImpactX line, which offers impact-rated insert bits and fastening accessories designed just for professional contractors. These contractors need heavy - duty bits and accessories that can handle the high - volume, high - torque screw - driving jobs. Regular screwdriving bits are brittle and don't fit well in fasteners, often breaking quickly when used with high - torque impact drivers. The ImpactX adapter stands out with better fit and enhanced performance. Its precision - machined (not forged) tips provide a full - contact fit. The S2 steel, which is performance - optimized and heat - treated, offers more flexibility and durability compared to standard, brittle bits. Included in the package is the ImpactX 1/4 x 6 Socket Adapter. This adapter has several great features. It allows sockets to be used with high - torque impact drivers and driver - drills. There's a retention ball for a secure fit to the socket, and the square drive end has chamfered edges for easy insertion into the socket. The S2 steel construction is optimized for a longer lifespan, and the calibrated heat - treating process adds to its durability. The manganese phosphate surface provides excellent corrosion resistance. It can be used for both standard and impact applications and is made of S2 steel, with a piece count of 1.

Using the Makita A - 97031 ImpactX Socket Adapter is easy. First, make sure your high - torque impact driver or driver - drill is turned off. Then, attach the adapter to your tool. Next, fit the socket onto the adapter; the retention ball will keep it securely in place. When using it, start with a lower speed to ensure proper alignment and then increase the speed as needed. Remember, this adapter is designed for high - torque applications, so it can handle tough jobs. However, don't use it with tools that exceed its specified torque limits as this could damage the adapter. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the adapter with a dry cloth to remove any debris. You can also use a mild lubricant to keep the moving parts smooth. Store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion, thanks to its manganese phosphate surface which already offers good corrosion resistance. With proper use and maintenance, this adapter will serve you well for a long time.
