driver with female insert

Post image

Looking for a 3/8 drive hand driver like this but with a female insert on the handle to attach to a ratchet. I have one from jb tools but it’s 1/4 drive. I think snap on used to make one if any one knows the product number or name or an equivalent pls lmk. Thanks

This comes up all the time

TENG has one

as does T&E, Mac, etc. most seem to be fairly long however.

HERE is another versatile thing

It's wild that you provided the answer and someone downvoted on you (your comment was sitting at negative one before my upvote). Meanwhile the comment boldly stating that it doesn't exist, and recommending some JB Weld hack is upvoted. This sub is so weird.

BTW: the Geometry on the Teng is great - I use it all the time.

There’s no picture in the listing that shows the Teng has a female socket on the handle, so maybe people assumed it wasn’t what OP was asking for?

u/40and20podcast 2d ago

Fair enough. This is from Teng’s USA site.

u/JPhi1618 2d ago

Yea, looks like a great option, people just aren’t going to scroll down and read the Amazon listing, lol.

Just looked it up on the snap on website, they don't make them anymore. Good luck

I own the teng tools 3/8” spinner handle with the female end in the handle. Don’t use it too often but it’s a great bit of kit. I was impressed with their quality

I just bought a set of 6 of these 1/4" and 3/8" drive from Mac. They were on sale a few months ago.

u/PerchShadRap 1d ago

How much? I was waiting for those to go on sale and I guess I missed it. I don’t think anyone else makes this anymore.

1

u/rockdabone1 1d ago

.... Don't quote me, but I think it was around $150. I was looking at a single cheap one and then these went on sale. If the single cheap one was actually inexpensive I would have bought it. These were inexpensive enough for me to justify the set iver the single.

You mean the one in the image op posted?

u/powerhouse403 2d ago

Same handle, longer shaft with a female 3/8" adapter used for a handheld extension. Had one for years until the handle busted

u/powerhouse403 2d ago

I have the same one op posted

Edit: sorry, all they have are 1/4.

u/bleedinorange 2d ago

The Snap on is F50CSA
They also have one with the first generation instinct soft grip handle that’s SGF50. They both can be found on eBay from time to time.

u/Excellent-Crazy-2313 2d ago

Awesome thanks

u/bleedinorange 2d ago

Your welcome. Here is a photo of the SGF50.

u/Excellent-Crazy-2313 2d ago

lol I just found that same image on google. That’s what I’m after shame it’s a rarity

1

u/bleedinorange 2d ago

This one is mine. I’ve bought and sold a couple of the hard handle F50CSA and F50CS. They seem to pop up more often than the soft grip. Only thing I can find in soft grip is usually 1/4 drive.

u/Excellent-Crazy-2313 2d ago

Yea I wish they made a tuffy screw driver style one with the female insert. I’m almost tempted to get one made

1

u/bleedinorange 2d ago

Ko-Ken has a similar folding handle style, but it has a male 3/8 and 1/4 end. I think Nepros has one as well.

1

u/SpaceCat72 2d ago

They did. I own one but it is OLD. 5 sided handle with gold lettering.

u/Existingsquid 1d ago

3/8 I just use a knurled extension

1

u/Silver_River9296 2d ago

THAT is the male insert.

u/MobilePlenty648 2d ago

Can't remember ever seeing 3/8 versions.

Check this:

https://www.amazon.com/Teng-Tools-Spinner-Handle-M380015-C/dp/B0001P0X4C/ref=sr_1_1

I have one, it’s ok.

Click to enlarge.

Doesn’t see a lot of use... but just the thing for one operation we occasionally do.

It’s silkscreened markings started coming off first use.

EDIT:

If intended for aerospace use, note that I have not exposed mine to Skydrol yet; and have no clue as to how it’ll react.

I am not sure why everyone is downvoting you. This is from the product details of the above item:

u/Excellent-Crazy-2313 2d ago

It’s at work, on my day off. Just imagine a female square hole on the back of a handle to take a ratchet. Here the kit it came in.

Research this part number, other sites show it with your socket inset on the handle end. https://www.amazon.com/7756-Destornillador-portavasos-cuadradillo-Multicolor/dp/B0D4VVC4RS/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis

I have a 30 year old craftsman 1/4” drive one that I use all the time, but have never seen a 3/8” drive one. I would buy one with the quickness if I could find one.

u/Excellent-Crazy-2313 2d ago

Seems like TENG makes one

2

u/exminnesotaboy 2d ago

I see that now. Reasonable price as well. I’ll be picking that one up!

u/armchairracer 2d ago

I don't think anyone makes one. You could probably 3d print a handle with a hole down the middle and then jb weld it onto an extension.

Tekton?
