Astro Tools 78342 3/8" & 1/2" Pinless Universal Joint Impact Adapters

Just got the Astro Tools 78342 3/8" & 1/2" Pinless Universal Joint Impact Adapters and they’re excellent! These pinless joints handle heavy impact torque without twisting apart or wearing out like the old pinned versions. They articulate smoothly, get into those awkward angles easily, and transfer power really well. Super durable build quality — already put them through some tough bolt jobs and they performed flawlessly.

Take some serious abuse

If you are serious about your wrenching, you should have pin less swivels. These have been compared and tested to be the best available today. Impact rated for all the Ugga Duggas

I work in a wrecking yard as a dismanteler. I bought a matco set to compare but not much difference, i been abusing the astro and still haven't broke. Give me another month of abuse and I'll write another review. 5 stars so far !

Works as they should. Still holding up months later

Good impact swivel socket great pricing too.

The inside of the 1/2 joint mushroomed out. It jams and doesn't swivel anymore. Lasted a few months.The 3/8 one is still working, so 2/5 stars.(Purchased Sep 28, 2023)

Used the 1/2 adapter on my impact for upper control arm bolts clearance reasons and it the tool couldn’t handle the torque ! The pinless ball joint is stuck and useless!

Astro tools quality is fantastic, you get a lifetime warranty for replacement items so what's not to like.After seeing one of the more recent Torque Test Channel videos on youtube comparing a lot of universal adapters I bought these as I can't justify the snap-on price and I already have quite a few Astro tools so this was an easy winner.The design is simple, you don't get the most angle with this item compared to some alternatives but the build quality and durability is superb and hard to beat for the price.They arrive dry and a little stiff but that's as they were designed as if you grease or oil them then you're making a dust/debris magnet that can increase wear overtime, there is no slop in the design and these transfer more torque than every other brand (except snap-on) as they are.

Prefectly made and tough. Price is quite reasonnable too.

Happy with the Astro tools I have, this is a solid swivel.

I have a number of Astra tools and some are very well thought, the plating is very poor. This relies on a really thing spring, I aint holding out on this!

Astro has been coming out with a lot of great tools lately. After snapping another swivel I decided to give the pinless ones a try. Mac has been selling Astro tools and was advertising these for $58! On Amazon they’re almost half! Great purchase.
