3/8″ Drive x 10mm Hex Bit Adaptor

Brief Overview

This is a precision-engineered bit adaptor that bridges 3/8″ drive ratchets and impact tools with 10mm hex bits. The spring-loaded detent mechanism keeps bits locked firmly in place during operation, eliminating bit slip and accidental ejection. Chrome-plated steel construction resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance in any shop. Whether you're stocking metric hex bit sockets or building a comprehensive accessory kit, this adaptor is an essential connector for mechanics who work with hex-shank fastening systems.

Key Features

• Spring-Loaded Detent Ball: Secures 10mm hex bits without play or wobble
• Chrome-Plated Steel Body: Durable, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for wet environments
• Compact Design: Short profile minimizes extension, reducing torque loss and improving access in tight spaces
• Wrench-Flat Faces: Shallow flats allow gripping with a wrench for removal or tightening if needed
• 3/8″ Square Drive: Direct compatibility with standard ratchets, impact wrenches, and power tools

Why Stock This Adaptor

For Resellers: This adaptor addresses a common gap in mechanic toolkits—the need to use individual hex bits with standard drive tools. Mechanics who own a 3/8″ ratchet but lack dedicated hex bit sockets will repurchase this item repeatedly. Low cost, high margin, and essential for any shop offering hex fastening solutions.

For End Users: Eliminates the need to buy complete hex socket sets when only a few sizes are needed. Works seamlessly with existing 3/8″ drive tools already on the workbench. The detent mechanism prevents the frustration of bits falling out mid-fastening.

Stock It Because

Adaptors like this generate consistent repeat orders. Mechanics lose them, damage the detent, or upgrade to larger workshops requiring multiple units. At this price point and margin, it's a no-brainer add-on to any order of 3/8″ hex bit sockets or ratchet kits.
