i need this socket.....does it exist?
i want a 3/4in socket to fit on a 3/8 cordless drill......sounds wierd i know but i wanna use it to raise and lower my car when necessary, the only jack we have that works with the car is the trunk one, and i dont like usin the ratchet on it and i think the drill could turn it. but i havent seen that socket anywhere. once again...3/4 socket for 3/8 drill
thanks
thanks

They make adapters for drills to use 3/8" drive sockets, but most are only 1/4" hex shanks. The torque of a drill that would be required to overcome the weight of the car would snap it.
Do you have a 1/2" drill? I think you're gonna need that much power to do this. If you do, I'd buy 3" of 1/2" rod, and grind down one end for the 3/8" drive. Or even weld the socket to the shaft.
I use an impact wrench and compressor to do the same thing occasionally, when I need two jacks.

if you could get a Milwalkee Right angle drille, set in high, a 1/2 drive adapter and a 3/4 socket, that would be great... but i just use my pnuematic, as it'* stored ~20ft from where i park the car......

well the jack doesnt take that much torque to turn by hand. and i know that 18v drill turns out quite a bit more than i do. the jack can be operated decently with a good ol little ratchet and socket but it takes a while. with the drill it would make it much easier.i think our ratchets are 3/8 so ive got the socket. but i need something round that would fit in the drill chuck but with a squared end to put the socket on....hmmmm
