ARES 70198 Low Profile Impact Socket Adapter Set - Chrome Vanadium

Love these low profile adapters, use them daily, had them for years and they’ve never broke or given me any issue. I liked them so much I bought them as gifts for friends. Great value, I’ll always have these in my box because they don’t take much away from your original headroom with whatever socket you use with them.

Haven't used them yet but a great idea. Look sturdy and low profile compared to traditional adapters. I really like them!

No issues. Works as a reducer/adapter. Grip allows it to used for finger tightening also, which I used more than as an adapter

They're nice and work well BUT.. lol I wish they were a LITTLE slimmer because they are KIND OF bulky.. haha

Handy little suckers , time will tell on durability but I’ve found myself using them over and over thus far

Right off the bat let me say that I'm not a big fan of manganese phosphate coatings because in a humid environment it does not offer enough rust protection - plus it just doesn't feel good to the touch. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I really like the low-profile of these adapters. Although I may never use them on my impact wrench, they are still very useful for hand ratchets. This set is approximately 33% shorter than my chrome adapters making it much easier to get into tight places. I also like the knurling which makes it easier to grab the adapter for removal and useful for free-spinning fasteners before tightening, or after loosening. It would be nice if these were made in the USA, but at least they are made in Taiwan and not China. Unrelated to the tool, I want to thank Ares for being an ASPCA business ambassador - that means a lot to me.

I was surprised how often I have used these low profile adapters since I bought them. The design locks onto my torque wrenches and ratchets and so far hasn't dropped a single socket. The low height allows me into places I couldn't quite reach before.

These are by far the best low pro impact socket adapters i've used, the other version with the magnets are much looser, and the magnets break or fall out. These provide a tight fit, maybe better than without the adapter due to the built in ball detent. The first order actually had some rust in the 3/8 to 1/2 inch adapter, but another was sent out promptly.

Worked well to covert a 1/4" ratchet to a 3/8" ratchet with a low profile adapter

Queda perfecto en mis herramientas y cumplen muy bien su cometido, volvería a comprarlo

I have been running these adapters for 3 years now through HEAVY use with air, electric and ratchets. They are so low profile and I would buy them again if they ever break but I doubt they will.

Had to change the gaskets on my Harley and this set made my life much easier.

Amazed at how these adapters hold up! I’ve put the 1/2-3/4 adapter through some beatings with my milwaukee high torque 1/2” impact and was very impressed with how it held up. Due to the compact size it allows for less torque to be lost than with the standard size adapter or extension. Must buy!
