ANyone know where I could get one? I can find plenty going the other way!

I have a teng 1/4 drive torque wrench and all the torx/allen/screwdriver bits I have are 3/8 drive!

Don't know anywhere to get 1, sorry, but do you have any loose torx/allen/screwdriver bits that you can pop into a 7mm 1/4" drive socket and do it that way?

I have some bits,just keen not to have to replicate tools, and theyre good bits! If it comes to it Ill buy a 3/8 torue wrench,but obviously this isnt a cheap option

Halfords may do them, they certainly do a 3/8"F - 1/2"M.

as ever ebay ahas somthing

Halfords dont, that was my first choice due to the lifetime guarantee!

The one on ebay looks ok, never going to see any great torque I dont suppose (think the wrench goes to 25Nm)

Got one from a stall at one of the shows, I use it with a 1/4 drive speed wrench all the time . Think it was 50p ?

Hi, a friend of mine had the same thing years ago, what he did was to take a piece is 5mm steal plate and cut the outside to the 3/8th size and cut out the center (by using a small drill bit for a series of holes) and filed to size.

May not the best looking but works and the plate is within the socket so cant twist much. the only downside is that the bits will fall off, but it is cheap.

These are pretty common so most engineering supplies will have em. If the Ebay one looks a bit soft, the Bahco ones are the dog's danglies. The Bahco part No is shown in the pic. Farnell have them (Order Code: 7079461)
