Westward 4LZA6 3/8" to 1/4" Impact Socket Adapter

SKU CH-6VXG-SH29D MPN 4LZA6

Converts a 3/8-inch impact drive to a 1/4-inch square output with a locking alloy-steel body and black-oxide finish

  • TypeAdjustable Wrenches
  • Color/FinishBlack Oxide
  • Converts 3/8" drive to 1/4" for smaller sockets
  • Alloy steel construction handles impact torque
  • Black oxide finish resists corrosion
  • Locking mechanism secures socket during use
  • Female 3/8" input accepts standard impact tools

Drive Conversion

The Westward 4LZA6 adapter converts a 3/8 inch female square drive to a 1/4 inch male square drive, allowing sockets of different sizes to be used with a single ratchet or impact gun. It is designed for mechanics and technicians who need to bridge drive sizes on the job. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance during regular shop use.

Locking Mechanism

The adapter features a locking detent that secures the socket onto the 1/4 inch output drive, reducing the risk of accidental release under vibration or torque. This specification is the primary factor for users who require a positive retention method when working with impact tools. The alloy steel construction supports high-torque applications.

Direct Fit

No additional accessories or software are bundled with this adapter; the product consists solely of the single conversion piece. Its immediate effect is the ability to drive 1/4 inch sockets using a 3/8 inch input tool without requiring a separate ratchet. Buyers needing multiple drive conversions or a full adapter set will not find those components included.

Questions about this item

How does the 3/8" to 1/4" drive reduction change the torque I can apply with my impact wrench?

The adapter lets you run 1/4" drive sockets on a 3/8" impact wrench, but the smaller 1/4" square drive becomes the limiting factor for maximum torque.

What does the locking mechanism on this impact socket adapter actually secure?

A spring-loaded ball detent locks onto the socket's retention groove, preventing the socket from vibrating off during impact use.

What clearance do I need around the adapter's black oxide body to fit it onto a 3/8" drive anvil?

The adapter adds roughly 1-1/4" overall length and has a standard 3/8" drive outer diameter, so it fits wherever a regular 3/8" impact socket clears.
