Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
- 1/2-inch square-drive impact wrenches
- 1/2-inch square-drive ratchets and breaker bars within the adapter’s rated use
- 3/8-inch square-drive impact sockets
Product Overview
When the impact wrench in your hand has a 1/2-inch anvil but the socket the job needs is 3/8-inch drive, this compact adapter bridges the two systems. It is most useful for access and convenience—not for forcing a small socket or fastener to absorb the full output of a large impact.
The female end attaches to a 1/2-inch square drive and the male end holds a 3/8-inch impact socket. Drive reductions concentrate stress, so select a sensible power setting and retire the adapter if the square, retention feature, or body shows damage.
Key Features & Performance
- Converts 1/2-inch square drive to 3/8-inch square drive
- Impact-rated construction for powered-tool service
- Compact way to use an existing 3/8-inch impact-socket selection
- Grey Pneumatic catalog reference 2228A
Replaces Part Numbers
- 2228A
Common Uses
- Running a 3/8-inch impact socket from a 1/2-inch drive tool
- Reducing drive size when the correct larger-drive socket is unavailable
- Keeping one compact adapter in a mobile service kit
- Reaching fasteners where a smaller socket body provides needed clearance
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Impact Drive Adapter
- Input: 1/2 in female square drive

Installation & Fitment

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Production date, serial number, engine option, dimensions, connections, and previous repairs can change the part used within the same model. Compare the removed item and service information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this with chrome hand sockets on an impact wrench? A: No. Powered tools require impact-rated sockets and accessories; ordinary chrome sockets can fracture.
Q: Does the adapter increase torque? A: No. It only changes square-drive size, and it may become the limiting part of the drive system.
Q: Why should I compare the removed part? A: Use the compatible list as a starting point, then compare the original reference number, dimensions, connections, mounting details, production date, and equipment or engine serial information.
Q: Is this a factory-branded component? A: This is a new aftermarket part. The brand and model names identify the applications it is intended to service.
