What happens here

After removing a bolt or when installing a new one, the offset adapter can also be used to tighten fasteners in the same difficult locations. Attach the socket and adapter to your impact driver as before. Place the socket onto the bolt head and activate the impact driver in reverse (tightening) direction. The offset adapter maintains its ability to work around obstructions, allowing for secure tightening where traditional tools cannot fit.

Goal: Securely tighten a bolt in a hard-to-reach area.

Tools and materials

  • Annex Offset Adapter — Providing offset access to the bolt
  • Bolt Assembly — Simulating a fastener in a tight spot
  • Impact Driver DeWalt — Driving the offset adapter to tighten the bolt
  • Socket — Engaging the head of the bolt
