RIGOR 11731 Impact Socket Adapter and Reducer Set | 1/4-3/8-1/2 Impact Driver Conversions, 4 Piece Set, 2 Adapters, 2 Reducers | Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (CR-MO) | Quick-Fit for Hog Ring Anvil

Finally a good set of adapters at a good price point! If you are on the fence about these don’t be! I ordered 3 sets even one claiming to be “thin” these are about as small as I’ve seen with a pinless design while still being very smooth, would but again!

I love the idea of this product. It’s simple and so convenient, not something you HAVE to use ever time, but an option. I love that it feels hefty, feels very sturdy and durable. The brand and the color looks appealing, but also how it’s a set of three (3). Being a set of three (3) I immediately fell head over heels for it because I wanted to try it out Ultimately, the downside to this is that the swivel part feels almost as if it’ll pop right out of the base. It’s showing a little too much slack, but at the same time, this shouldn’t be used when loosening a bolt. It should be used in combination after breaking the bolt loose with a breaker bar. Still, I’d recommend this product.

The joints offer great expandability when loosening hard to reach bolts. Used with both ratchet and impact wrench with successful results. Fits well with other brands, I used Husky. Definitely recommend.

If youve never used a pinless universal joint, youre in for a treat! The ones with pins work but can be easily bound up at too steep of an angle. Pinless style, like this, significantly reduce binding at steep angles and work a lot better. This set is holding up well so far and not showing any real signs of wear of the metal getting dented, bent, galled, or deformed. Seems that these will stand up to a lot of use in impact tools.

These are great to have in the toolbox and you will need them. They feel very well made but only time will tell. I will update this if the fails. Comes with a smallholder which is nice as I stuck a magnet to it and popped it on the outside of my toolbox.

Previously, I ordered the Rigor 25011 swivel socket set (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PPFN3SR) that I really, really liked. Because of how impressed I was with them, I decided to order this impact set. The Rigor 25011 set is made with Chrome Vanadium alloy steel while these are made with Chrome Molybdenum alloy steel. These two steel alloys are nearly chemically identical so I would think either of these sets of swivel sockets could work well with impact wrenches. One feature of these Rigor 11601 Impact Swivel Sockets that I really like is how easy it is to read the size. Now granted, it is easy to tell which one is 1/2 vs 3/8 vs 1/4 but sometimes the kid helping you out needs these markings. As soon as I got these I went out to the garage and tried them on a stuck bolt. I used the 1/2 swivel socket and it worked as expected. As with the previous swivel socket set I ordered, these also have the same high quality storage rail. A really nice surprise to have this nice rail to store the swivels. Another home run by Rigor with these quality Rigor 11601 Impact Swivel Sockets!

RIGOR 11601 Universal Joint Swivel Socket Adapter Set | 3PCS, 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 Drive | CR-MO Impact Grade | Aluminum Storage Rail My husband works with his hands a lot, and he loves to have the right tool to use. He says the pinless design of these is pretty impressive and results in a compact swivel socket that has a constant torque regardless of the angle youre using. The swivel motion is uniform and fluid, especially after a few minutes of use to wear-in the swivel. Theyve got a hole on opposite sides of the socket that works with either a detent ball like on a socket wrench or spring-loaded pin like on a lot of impact wrenches. They are at least as good as similar pinless designs by better known manufacturers. Highly recommend.

Solid adapter tool Set

A really great find. These CR-MO swivel joint adapters are much better than most who uses a pin to lock the ball. The hexagonal ball design is many times stronger. A valued addition to my tool box.
