STANLEY 1/4” Socket Adapter 50 mm Square to Hex 13-649

STANLEY 1/4” Socket Adapter 50 mm Square to Hex 13-649 is a compact adapter that converts a 1/4” (6.35 mm) square drive into a hexagonal bit connection. With a 50 mm overall length, the adapter enables use of hex bits in tools designed for 1/4” square fittings, providing a simple interface between sockets, ratchets and hex bits while keeping a slim profile for work in confined spaces.

Advantages

The adapter offers a durable metal construction sized for standard 1/4” drives and common hex bits, delivering reliable engagement between square drives and hex bits. Its 50 mm length balances reach and control, allowing access to recessed fasteners while maintaining torque transfer. The compact design makes it compatible with hand ratchets, T-handle drivers and many power tools that accept 1/4” fittings.

Suitable for

• Mechanical repair and light automotive work
• Assembly and furniture fitting where hex bits are required
• Maintenance and general workshop tasks using 1/4” drives
• Working in tight or recessed areas where extra reach is needed

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/4” (6.35 mm) square input
• Output type: hexagonal bit connection suitable for standard 1/4” hex bits
• Length: 50 mm overall
• Material: metal construction for durability and torque transmission
• Compatibility: designed for use with hand and compatible power tools accepting 1/4” fittings

How to use

Insert the adapter’s 1/4” square end into the tool’s square drive until it seats securely. Fit the required hex bit into the adapter’s hex end and confirm the bit is fully engaged. Operate the tool at appropriate speed and torque for the fastener and bit in use. After use, remove the bit and adapter, wipe clean and store in a tool organiser to prevent loss or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter only with hex bits and tools rated for the required torque. Avoid applying excessive force with impact tools unless the adapter is specified for impact use. Inspect the adapter and bits before use for wear or damage, and replace if deformation or excessive wear is present.
