Product Information

Full details

This 3-piece set of Laser Tools Ratchet Spanner Adaptors is designed for mechanics and technicians needing to quickly drive nuts and bolts in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is the wobble function, allowing access at an angle, however, it's specifically intended for use with single Hex (6pt) ratchet spanners, limiting its compatibility with other drive types. The set includes adaptors for 10mm, 14mm, and 19mm sockets, all made from durable, impact-quality chrome molybdenum.

FAQs

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes adaptors for 1/4" drive (for 10mm sockets), 3/8" drive (for 14mm sockets), and 1/2" drive (for 19mm sockets).

Can I use these with any ratchet or socket set?

No, these adaptors are specifically designed for use with single Hex (6-point) ratchet spanners from Laser Tools, such as Part Nos. 2681, 2951, and 2684. They are not universal.

What is the material of these adaptors?

They are manufactured from impact quality chrome molybdenum (SCM440) steel with a polished chrome finish.

What does the 'wobble function' do?

The wobble function allows the adaptor to pivot slightly, enabling you to engage fasteners at an angle, which is useful in confined spaces where straight access is not possible.

Does the 1/4" drive adaptor have any other features?

Yes, the 1/4" drive adaptor features a magnetic 1/4" hex (F) bit holder on the reverse side, allowing it to be used with standard 1/4" hex bits.

Are these suitable for use with impact wrenches?

While made from impact quality material, they are designed for use with manual ratchet spanners. Prolonged use with high-torque impact wrenches is not recommended and may void the warranty.

How should I clean and maintain these adaptors?

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store in a dry place. Avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the chrome finish.

Troubleshooting

Adaptor slips on the spanner

Ensure you are using a compatible Laser Tools single Hex (6pt) ratchet spanner and that both the spanner drive and the adaptor socket are clean and free from debris.

Difficulty engaging fastener

Confirm that the correct size adaptor is being used for the socket and that the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Check for obstructions around the fastener.

Wobble function feels loose

A slight degree of play is normal for the wobble function to allow angled access. Ensure the connection to the spanner and the socket is secure. If excessive play is present, inspect for damage.

Magnetic bit holder not holding

Ensure the hex bit is clean and properly inserted into the holder. The magnet may be weakened if exposed to extreme heat or strong magnetic fields. Clean the magnet surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides angled access for difficult-to-reach fasteners.
  • Durable construction from impact-quality chrome molybdenum.
  • Includes adaptors for three common metric nut and bolt sizes.
  • Magnetic bit holder on the 1/4" drive adds extra functionality.
  • Polished chrome finish offers good corrosion resistance.

Cons

  • Limited compatibility; designed only for specific single Hex (6pt) ratchet spanners.
  • Not suitable for general-purpose socket use without the specified spanner type.
  • The wobble function may introduce slight play compared to a direct drive.
  • Smaller sizes might not withstand extreme torque applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply attach the appropriate sized adaptor to your compatible Laser Tools single Hex (6pt) ratchet spanner (e.g., Part Nos. 2681, 2951, 2684). Then, attach the socket or hex bit to the adaptor.

Compatibility: These adaptors are designed exclusively for use with single Hex (6-point) ratchet spanners from Laser Tools. They are not compatible with standard 12-point sockets, universal joints, or other brands/types of ratchet wrenches unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer. The drive sizes are 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2".

Care: Clean the adaptors after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove grease and dirt. Store them in a dry environment to prevent rust, especially on the polished chrome finish. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.
