Socket Swivel Joint Hazet 9000-041 1/4" drive 360° swivel

Hazet 9000-041 swivel joint is a 1/4" drive accessory that provides 360° rotation for sockets and bits, enabling work in confined, angled or hard-to-reach spaces. It connects between a ratchet or extension and a socket to transmit torque while allowing the working head to pivot freely. The tool is intended for applications that require flexible positioning without changing the driving tool.

Advantages

The swivel joint offers full 360° rotation for extended access and precise positioning, reducing the need to reposition the workpiece or driving tool. Its compact 1/4" drive size maintains compatibility with standard socket sets and bit holders while preserving sufficient strength for light to medium-duty tasks. The simple mechanical design ensures reliable torque transfer and straightforward use in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance in tight engine bay or underbody areas
• General equipment assembly where angled access to fasteners is required
• Maintenance and repair of household appliances and small machinery
• Work on electrical cabinets, control panels and other installations with limited clearance

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Rotation: 360° swivel head
• Connection type: standard square drive for ratchets and extensions
• Typical application range: light to medium-duty torque transmission
• Physical form: compact swivel joint for inline connection between driver and socket

How to use

Fit the swivel joint onto the square drive of a compatible ratchet or extension, then attach the required socket or bit to the swivel head. Position the driver and allow the head to pivot to the necessary angle; apply torque through the driver as usual while maintaining stable hand positioning. Avoid applying side-loading or excessive bending forces beyond the joint’s intended use to preserve function and service life.

Usage recommendations

Use the swivel joint with appropriately sized sockets and avoid exceeding recommended torque levels for 1/4" drive tools. Inspect the joint for wear before use, keep contact surfaces clean and store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
