In this review, we will tell you how to make a homemade hexagon-square adapter for socket heads. In this case, the author offers his own idea, as an alternative to the most ordinary open-end wrenches and more universal - ratchets.
To make the hexagon-square adapter for the socket heads, you will need a square bar of suitable section, a bolt and an open end wrench with ratchet mechanism. It is such parts and tools that the master proposes to use for this homemade product.
First of all, the master cuts off a small piece from the square bar. Marks the center, after which, on a drilling machine, drills a through longitudinal hole and cuts the thread for the bolt.
The process of making a homemade adapter
The master twists a bolt into the hole in the square, and the hole itself is welded from the back of the workpiece. Then he drills also the side holes, and also brews them. As a result, the part is monolithic.
Then hardening is carried out: the square-hexagon is heated by a gas burner and lowered into a container with oil. However, before hardening, the welds must be cleaned with a grinder. Socket adapter ready!
By and large, this homemade product can hardly be called original, because it will be easier and cheaper to buy a ratchet or a wrench. But, when compared with conventional open-end wrenches, this adapter paired with a combination wrench looks more interesting.
