Description
This adapter is specifically designed to allow you to use a power impact wrench or cordless nut runner to operate a standard car scissor jack. It converts the 17mm socket drive from your tool to fit the custom metal interface of the jack, making tire changes and lifting much faster and effortless.
Given the high torque and "impact" nature of nut runners, this model has been engineered with specific reinforcement zones to prevent failure under load.
Key Features
- Impact Ready: Specifically designed to handle the torque from power tools when used with the correct print settings.
- Perfect Fit: Features a 17.1mm hexagonal head optimized for 17mm sockets, ensuring a snug fit that won't slip.
- Reinforced "Neck" Design: Includes a Torus-shaped support ring at the stress point to prevent the hex head from shearing off during high-torque operation.
Required Print Settings (Crucial for Safety)
To prevent the part from breaking while lifting a vehicle, you MUST use these settings:
- Material: PETG or PC-PBT (Do not use standard PLA; it is too brittle for impact tools).
- Wall Loops: 6 for the main body.
- Infill: 60% Gyroid.
- The "Strength" Modifier:
- Add a Height Range Modifier between 23mm and 28mm.
- Within this range, set Sparse Infill to 100% and Wall Loops to 8. This creates a solid plastic block where the socket meets the adapter.
- Top/Bottom Shells: 5 layers minimum.
Safety Warning
- Always use jack stands when working under a vehicle.
- This adapter is intended for the lifting mechanism only.
- Regularly inspect the part for stress fractures or whitening of the plastic.
