WSK Wobble Socket Adapter Kit

The APEX WSK can convert any fastener tool with a female square drive (3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4”, or 1”) and a DIN groove into a Wobble socket. This will enable you to drive fasteners that may have a slight misalignment (up to 10 degrees) between the drive tool axis and the fastener axis. In addition, this will also prove extremely useful in hand-drive operations where clearance may be an issue.

Key Benefits of Apex WSK

• Improves productivity by providing a wobble (or swivel) to any existing socket immediately 
• Can be used with standard sockets or application-specific specials 
• Corrects misalignment up to 10 degrees

• Reduces cam-out caused by misalignment 
• Improves tool like by engaging fastener correctly 
• Easy to assemble
