What is the drive-size of the socket fitting on this tool? I need a separate deep-socket to use with this and it doesn't say if it's a 1/4" vs 3/8" driver size (or if it will work at all with "after-market" sockets)

Evan - The drive is 1/4" - standard, nothing special or unique. It will work with other 1/4" sockets just fine. It does not come with any deep sockets so you will have to use what you have.

Get the T40 Torx socket for a 3/8" ratchet wrench (not a hex wrench). The bolts are too tight for a screw driver. You can buy a single socket or a set of sockets online or any Hdwe./Auto parts store.

This set will work fine with the 1/4" impact driver you mention. In addition to the sockets, the set includes 2 adaptors that go from the 1/4" hex drive of the impact driver to the 1/2" square socket drive. So you're ready to go with this set. (I use it with a Bosch 1/4" impact driver that's very similar to the DeWalt unit you mention.)

If I'm not mistaken, I've used a 10mm socket and had no problems. I also used a wrench similar in size.

The 1/2 inch driver has more torque and power but I do have a 1/4 to 1/2 inch adapter for my 1/2 inch sockets and this tool runs them ok. I wouldn't recommend this tool for heavy automotive use (it prob won't break a rusted bolt free) but for lighter duty and everyday driving of screws, carriage bolts, timber locks, ledger bolts etc. this is the right tool. I've used mine pretty much daily for the past four years.

I have the tool with the 1/4 impact socket head. If you need to "drill" in very tight spaces, the impact head version may be too large to fit as either an adapter or special drill bits (with 1/4 socket adaption) are required. As others have said, base the decision on what YOUR primary use will be. That said, I may get this version, also. I like the various Makita tools and have several 1.5 and 3.0 batteries.

5/16 or 3/8 square drive....not a socket. My father put it together and doesn't remember which size...

Hello There, as you said you can plug it into your torque wrench and use it ig you have the proper socket, my personal recommendation is that use the same lug wrench you have used before. Regards.

I used a socket set (can't remember if it was US or metric) but used 3 different sockets out of the set. Sorry I couldn't be more specific on the socket set.

No.The tools are the same size.Only the square drive is larger in 3/8.I have the 1/4 I like it.Remember it is a 12volt power rachet not an impact wrench,you may have to break the fastner loose or tighten final torque by hand.If you have lots of 3/8 drive stuff buy the 3/8, otherwise I say buy the 1/4 and update your sockets and extensions.The 12volt battery keeps the tool size managable. I bought mine to work on 6 and 6.4 Ford Diesels,I am glad I did.

I purchased the 1/2" drive set. It contained a 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 3/4", 13/16", and 7/8" socket. It's a really nice socket seat.

I really don't know as I use it for the 1/2 drive sockets, there is no way to ratchet down the torque as with a drill/driver.

The entire 8484 connector is about 1 and 1/16th inch deep. Without the actual socket, the black part of the connector sticks out 3/4". I would say you would need 1.25" in order to feel comfortable with the amount of pressure on the 8484 connector, but the SATA cables are pretty flimsy and you could probably make it work as long as you don't plan on moving it around too much (repeated bending / unbrending will ruin the sata cables). Right-angle 8484 connectors do exist (I've got a few Dell cables) so you might be able to track one down on eBay or the like. Good luck!

I went thru the Jack/tool kit compartment with a 1/4" drive deep socket. real tight fit and requires a lot of patience. Advice, loosen the nut , but don't remove it completely as it would be dificult to get back on the stud. Hope this helps. I loosened the lens enough to slip the tab unfer the lens, then bolted everything together , then tightened all. Also, be sure to tape the area next to the lens to protect the paint while installing.

Is the "tool case" in the photo just for the charger and any accessories, or can the drivers fit in there too? Just from the photos, I'd have to say unless the tool case is part Tardis, they aren't going to fit. &lt;edit&gt; Nevermind. I just saw a picture of what looks like to be this exact impact driver combo with both drivers sitting in the case on either side of the charger.

Socket size is 1/4". It can absolutely be used with aftermarket sockets. I have used snapon, mac, klutch, kobalt, dewatl & Milwaukee. All have worked fine.
