HI.

Yes, it doesn't make sense in terms of power, but is there an adapter to "operate" a 1/2" socket on a 1/4" ratchet?

I have a small torque wrench (Proxxon MicroClick 30S - 1/4"), but the long Torx bits are 1/2".

The Proxxon MicroClick 210S (1/2") wouldn't be helpful because it doesn't start applying torque until 40 Nm, but I need 20 Nm.

So far, I only know the conversions 1/4 to 3/8 and 3/8 to 1/2 (e.g., from Proxxon PX-23782).
PX-23566)

Hello,

I would weld a shortened 1/4-inch socket to a 1/2-inch extension. It doesn't necessarily have to be a high-quality socket from Hazet for a torque of 20 Nm; a cheap one from a hardware store will also work.

Best regards,
Christian.

YES, thank you.

I guess I'll do it that way then.
