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.

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.
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.

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

One 1/2-inch female to 3/4-inch male increaser. Tools, sockets and a verified pin-and-ring kit are not listed adapter contents.

The female end fits the tool anvil; the male end fits the socket drive recess. Socket drive size is separate from the fastener opening.
| Tool and socket | Works | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 1/2-inch tool, 3/4-inch socket | Matching conversion | Female 1/2-inch input, male 3/4-inch output. |
| 3/4-inch tool, 1/2-inch socket | Wrong direction for this adapter | Choose the opposite drive conversion. |
| 1/4-inch hex drill chuck | No direct square-drive connection | A hex chuck and square-drive anvil are different connections; no direct-fit promise is established. |
| Other square-drive sizes | No listed direct conversion | This product lists 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch connections. |
| Impact-rated sockets and matching anvils | Within component limits | Confirm retention, drive fit and limits for every component. |
| Pin and O-ring retention systems | Tool-specific verification needed | Check retention provisions; exact pin dimensions and compatibility are not specified. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
Its input is a square 1/2-inch recess, rather than a 1/4-inch hex shank. It does not provide a direct quick-change hex connection.
For truck or trailer work, first match a 1/2-inch tool to a 3/4-inch socket drive, then verify the actual fastener opening and component limits.
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.
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.
A spring-loaded ball on the male drive is described for retention. Check whether your 3/4-inch socket engages that feature rather than assuming any recess locks securely.
The design provides hog-ring-friendly quick fit. Confirm that your specific 1/2-inch anvil fully seats and retains the adapter; no all-brand fit chart is supplied.
The body has laser-etched 1/2 and 3/4 size markings. Use the female/male geometry along with those labels to check orientation.
The manganese phosphate finish provides corrosion protection. Rustproof performance under every outdoor condition or perpetual coating performance is not guaranteed.
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.
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.
The package contains one LX-401 adapter. A 3/4-inch socket or separate pin-and-ring kit is not confirmed as included; check any retention accessories you need.
It changes the socket-drive connection only. Keep using a socket whose fastener opening matches the nut; LX-401's 3/4-inch male square does not itself grip the nut.
No numerical torque ceiling is specified for this impact-rated adapter. Get a verified adapter limit where required, and follow the rated limits of the complete assembly.
Lifetime coverage when you register online within 90 days of purchase; 12 months standard without registration. Commercial use is covered for 12 months and cannot be extended; industrial use is not covered. Coverage is for defects in material and workmanship, excluding normal wear and tear, misuse, modification and non-original parts.
Check the marked drive sizes, complete seating and retention at both ends. Verify that all components suit the chosen tool and job.
Stop using the damaged adapter and contact Lexivon for assessment. No approved home repair is specified.
Stop and check that the socket drive matches and seats correctly. If the retention feature is damaged or still does not engage, contact Lexivon before continuing.
No. Check drive size, retention design and condition before applying force. A generic quick-fit claim does not verify an incompatible or damaged connection.
No. Warranty covers defects in material and workmanship and excludes normal wear and tear, misuse, modification and non-original parts. Lexivon decides the resolution after assessment.
No. Industrial use is excluded. Commercial use is covered for 12 months and cannot be extended, including heavy-duty applications.
