VÖLKEL Adapter 1/2" x 11 mm for HexTap VX
The VÖLKEL Adapter 1/2" x 11 mm connects your impact wrench with 1/2" drive to the HexTap VX impact tap bits. On the drive side it takes the 1/2" square of the impact wrench, on the tool side the 11 mm hexagon of the HexTap VX. This lets you cut threads powerfully yet in a controlled manner, directly with the impact wrench – in steel construction, mechanical engineering and wherever many threads have to be produced quickly.
According to the VÖLKEL application recommendation, the 1/2" adapter is intended for HexTap VX sizes M 8 to M 16. For sizes M 18 to M 30, use an impact wrench with 3/4" drive and the Adapter 3/4" x 11 mm (Art. No. 10913).

Limitations
- For HexTap VX from M 18 to M 30, the Adapter 3/4" x 11 mm is intended, used with an impact wrench with 3/4" drive.
Step by step
- Choose the HexTap VX that matches the thread size and prepare the core hole. You can find the core hole diameter on the product page of each HexTap VX.
