Makita P-06292 Socket Adapter 8 mm Hex to 1/4 inch Square Drive, 55 mm

Driving 1/4-inch square drive sockets with a cordless drill or impact driver often requires a separate adapter, and many generic adapters fail under torque or wobble during use. The Makita P-06292 solves that by providing a solid, impact-rated connection between an 8 mm hex shank and a 1/4-inch square drive.

Who is it for

This adapter is for professionals and DIYers who already own Makita or other power tools with an 8 mm hex chuck and want to use standard 1/4-inch square drive sockets. It is especially useful for automotive work, assembly, and maintenance tasks where switching between hex bits and sockets is frequent.

• 55 mm overall length for reach in tight spaces
• High-grade steel construction with black phosphate finish
