One application that I can come up with is using a deep well socket. 1/2 deep well sockets are longer than 1/4 deep well even if it's the same size (7/16 for example). If you're running nuts down multiple pieces of threaded rod, a longer deep well socket would be nice to use.
1/4 impact driver. 1/4 to 3/8 adapter. 3/8 socket.
1/4 impact driver. 1/4 to 1/2 adapter. 3/8 socket.
I'm not sure where my 1/4 inch adapter is, but I figure this is close enough. Why would the impact driver be fine with the smaller adapter, but the same impact driver would snap the larger...
From what I understand, he's using a 1/4 impact driver. The only thing that can be used is 1/4 impact bits. If the 1/4 bits are breaking in the 1/4 impact driver, it seems that the bits are the problem. Not the power source. Not the socket.
Still confused...
The power is being supplied from the 1/4 impact driver. The 1/4 adapter is breaking. It's still getting the same 1/4 loads, isn't it?
Given that I have no idea what you're doing, it's obvious that you need a hytorq. Hopefully, 138,000 foot pounds will be enough.

You're welcome.
BTW, I use my dewalt impact driver primarily for screws. I've found that Makita brand screw driver bits don't last long, but dewalt brand lasts far longer. Seems to be a brand issue, not a use issue.
I guess I'm a little confused here. Op is asking for socket adapters to run 1/2 inch sockets on a 1/4 inch impact driver. From what I'm understanding, the 1/4 inch adapters are breaking. If they're designed to run in a 1/4 impact driver, why are they breaking? It's not because of the socket...

Their website says 16 to 36. A lot of the guys using them on the west coast run 42 inch bars and they are working them a lot harder than I ever will. I've run 42 inch for milling and 32 inch for falling and...
I have a 500i and I absolutely love it. It runs up to a 42 inch bar without an issue. If you want, pm me and we can figure out a time and place for you to try it.
Pull the cover on the tank. If the tank is not full, the problem is before the tank. If the tank is full, pull the trap. If it starts draining relatively quickly, your trap needs cleaned. If it doesn't start draining, the problem is in your finger system.
As creedmoor pointed out, full is relative.
Yeah, it's mixed which is all I need. I'm think they have 100% argon, but I'm not certain. Yeah, it's an 80cf bottle. They "sell" them by odd sizes, 1,2,4, and 6. I need a new bottle, but I've been putting it off. I don't weld a lot, so that bottle has lasted since pre covid. I'm afraid to see...
