Adapter to use cordless drill for lug nuts

[Riley]

With all the on/off of the wheel lug nuts I've been doing lately (and considering I don't have any air tools), has anybody tried the use a cordless drill for whipping the wheel lug nuts off and on quickly and then torque by hand?

Loosening and torquing the nuts goes fairly fast but the job kinda drags on just having to spin those nuts off or on all the way. I was thinking that if someone made an adapter from a standard drill chuck size say 3/8" and then on the other end a standard 1/2" drive. It would make short work off changing tires.

Anybody seen something like this?

When I don't want to annoy the neighbors with impact tools I use a speedwrench.

But this is what you asked for - Dewalt DW2542 3/8" DR. Socket Adapter.

perfect Rich, hopefully they make em for 1/2" drive. Now I get to try to find one in Canada

if the 3/8 one is the only one you can find. just get a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter to add to it.
go to any store that sells quality ratchet sets, maybe even canadian tire! the best store on earth(them americans don't know what there missing)

i was at canadian tire today and saw a 1/2" adapter similar to the dewalt one in the driver bit section for $4.99. is there anything they don't carry?

Hey thanks Dylan. I'm there tomorrow. For 5$ I've got a poor mans air racket.
