1/2 Inch Drive Flex Head Adapter

The Teng Tools M120080-C is a 1/2 inch drive flex head adaptor. It has a 1/2 inch female drive on one end and a male 1/2 inch pivoting head on the other, and Teng Tools designed it to convert an extension bar into a flex handle. Fit it to the end of a 1/2 inch drive extension bar, put a socket on the head, and the bar becomes a lever that can work at an angle.

The head rotates through 180 degrees for use at different angles, giving access to fasteners at various angles in tight spaces. It is designed for extra torque to use with stubborn nuts and bolts. It can also be used straight, to turn fastenings more quickly once they are loose.

The adaptor is chrome vanadium with a satin finish for a better grip when handling it, and it weighs 188 g (6.6 oz). It is supplied with a metal socket clip for use with a socket rail. Teng Tools rates it Impact: No, so it belongs with hand-turned bars and handles rather than an impact wrench.

What you get: 1 x 1/2 inch drive flex head adaptor with metal socket clip. Extension bar, handle and sockets are not included.

• The 1/2 inch female drive fits onto the end of a 1/2 inch drive extension bar, and the hinged 1/2 inch male head takes the socket. The result works like a flex handle: the bar becomes the lever and the socket sits on a head you can angle, so you get extra leverage on stubborn nuts and bolts without carrying a separate bar.
• The pivoting head rotates through 180 degrees for use at different angles, so the socket can stay square on the fastener while the bar comes in from the side. That gives access to fasteners at various angles and in tight spaces, where a straight bar would hit the surrounding parts before it reached the nut.
• With the head set straight, the adaptor carries on turning in line, so once a fastener has broken loose you can turn the extension bar by hand to run it out more quickly, then angle the head again for the final turns or for the next tight one. It adds flexibility to a 1/2 inch drive socket set for very little space in the drawer.
• Made from chrome vanadium with a satin finish for a better grip when handling the adaptor, and marked CR-V on the body. It weighs 188 g (6.6 oz). A metal socket clip is supplied for use with a socket rail, so the flex adaptor can sit on the rail next to your 1/2 inch drive sockets and extensions, and a gap shows when it is missing.
• Teng Tools rates it Impact: No, so use it with hand-turned extension bars and handles, not with an impact wrench. It is not a universal joint: the head pivots on a single hinge pin, in one plane, like the head of a flex handle. Extension bar, handle and sockets are not included; it fits any 1/2 inch drive extension bar with a standard male square end.
