The adapter provides three drive sizes in one unit: 3/8 in, 1/4 in, and 1/2 in.

Question 3

What materials and finish are used in the GL12930?

Accepted Answer

It’s crafted from chrome vanadium (Cr-V) alloy steel and finished with chrome plating to resist rust and corrosion, helping it hold up under demanding use.

Question 4

How does the detent pin and pin hole contribute to secure retention?
