Capri Tools 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 in. Drive Impact Universal Joint Set (3-Piece)

Awesome set and nice quality as well.

These universal joints are indispensable if you do any auto or mechanical work with impact tools. They are rugged and should last a long time. They are a little bulkier than standard u-joints but that is because they are impact rated. I use them to get to hard to reach fasteners when working on my vehicles (see picture). There are certain jobs I just cannot do without these. They come in a plastic tray that is not really for storage, mostly for shipping, so I have tossed hem in my socket drawer. The set includes 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ u-joints. I suspect the 3/8″ will get the most use around here.

Somehow the designers of machines make it so that some bolts simply cannot be reached properly. We have all been in that situation. This set goes a long way in resolving the problem.You get three universal joints – one each for the three standard socket drivers sizes: ¼”, â…œ”, and ½” I used the â…œ” drive one to reach some otherwise impossible mounting bolts on my snowblower this week. The Universal joint clipped firmly onto a long extension driver and I was able to place the socket on the other end of the universal joint. The joint was also stiff enough to balance the bolt in the socket when it came time to put the bolts back in. It was a massive time saver.Not only do these joints seem well designed and manufactured, they are also rated to handle impact drivers. Impact drivers exert massive forces on bits and sockets and any joints along the drive path, so you need especially tough joints for impact use.Material: They are made of Chrome Molybdenum SteelRange of movement: 30° x 360°Lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materialsMade in Taiwan

works well

Good product, for good price.

Very nice product

These are great

Seems like very good quality. Only reason it’s not a 5 is it came covered in oil.

So many adapters out there are NOT rated for use with an impact tool. This can be really frustrating because I think that impact tools have revolutionized the amount of effort it takes to do repetitive fastener tasks, like removing lug nuts, or driving lag bolts while perched on a ladder. These universal joint tools do not have as much range of motion as some of the others that I’ve used, but I actually find that helpful. You see, sometimes you end up fighting the joint adapter more than the bolt or nut because it has so much range that you now have to use two hands; one to operating the impactor trigger and the other to hold the adapter and socket combo in the right orientation. Also, using an impact tool can cause very flexible adapters to jump off the fastener and cause damage to the fastener and/or the operator.
