Overview

LX-401 is the single 1/2-inch female to 3/4-inch male impact increaser for connecting a smaller-drive tool to a larger-drive socket. It is listed as chrome-molybdenum steel with phosphate coating and detent retention; the reverse conversion requires LX-402.

Key Advantages

Drive Conversion

Increase From 1/2 To 3/4 Inch

Use the 1/2-inch female input on the matching tool, then attach a 3/4-inch drive socket to the male end. The larger connection does not establish a higher tool torque rating.

Impact Construction

Chrome-Molybdenum Steel For Impact Work

The set has chrome-molybdenum steel construction as fully impact rated, with manganese phosphate coating. Select matching impact-rated components and verify application limits.

Questions

What is the exact direction of LX-401?

Its 1/2-inch female recess goes on a matching tool; its 3/4-inch male end enters a matching socket. It increases the socket-drive connection from 1/2 to 3/4 inch.

Will it let my 1/2-inch impact wrench use a 3/4-inch drive socket?

That is the listed conversion. Check full seating and retention on the 1/2-inch anvil and verify that the 3/4-inch socket suits the fastener and impact application.

Can I put a 1/2-inch drive socket on the output?

The output square is 3/4 inch, so a 1/2-inch socket drive does not directly match it. A large nut opening on a socket does not change that socket's drive recess.

Does a 3/4-inch tool fit the input of this increaser?

The female input is 1/2 inch. For a 3/4-inch tool driving a 1/2-inch socket, the opposite LX-402 reducer is the listed direction.

Does increasing the drive also increase wrench power?

The conversion gives a 3/4-inch socket a connection to a 1/2-inch tool. It does not supply a larger tool motor or establish a higher output-torque rating.

Is the male 3/4-inch end impact-grade material?

The adapter is listed as fully impact rated and made from chrome-molybdenum steel. No numerical working-torque ceiling is supplied for its larger male end.

How do LX-401 and LX-402 differ?

LX-401 takes a 1/2-inch tool input and provides a 3/4-inch socket output. LX-402 takes a 3/4-inch input and provides a 1/2-inch output; choose the direction of the actual tool/socket pair.

Is LX-401 a two-adapter conversion kit?

This SKU lists one increaser. LX-403 is the two-piece selection that includes both the increaser and the reducer, if both directions are needed.
