1/4 Series Adapter - Ball Detent Head
Product Category: Tightening technology
Quick Locking and Convenient Operation
The ball detent head employs a classic ball-locking mechanism, where an internal spring presses steel balls into the grooves of the tool interface to achieve "plug-and-lock" quick connection. To install, simply align the ball detent head with the 1/4-inch interface and push gently—the balls snap into the slots with an audible "click" for secure locking. For removal, press the release button or pinch the locking ring to retract the balls and detach effortlessly. This one-handed operation significantly improves tool change efficiency, making it ideal for scenarios requiring frequent bit or socket changes, such as automotive repair and home appliance maintenance.
Stable Transmission and Anti-Detachment Design
The precise fit between the steel balls and grooves ensures reliable torque transmission, even during medium-intensity tasks (e.g., driving screws with an electric screwdriver), preventing slipping or idling caused by loose connections. The ball-locking structure features a dual anti-detachment mechanism: spring preload ensures a secure connection, while the locking ring 限位设计 (limit design) prevents accidental dislodging from impacts—particularly suitable for vibrating environments (e.g., when using handheld power tools). This reduces the risk of tool drops and enhances operational safety.
Compact Durability and Scenario Adaptability
The adapter body is made of high-strength alloy steel or engineering plastic (depending on load requirements), with the steel balls quenched to a hardness of HRC45+, capable of withstanding over 10,000 insertion/removal tests without deformation. Measuring approximately 4 cm in length (about the size of a thumb), its compact design allows access to narrow spaces (e.g., furniture gaps, inside appliances), and can extend reach when paired with extension rods. The anti-slip texture on the surface improves grip, making it suitable for light-to-medium fastening tasks in electronics assembly, model building, and home DIY.
