love the modification!! However I don't think I am comfortable doing this. Cann you recommend a 1/4" Bit adapter for the 1/2" Wrench for a less permanent and fast option?
The adaptors for impact drivers from 1/4“ to 1/2“ are the ones that break. As for an adaptor for an impact wrench 1/2“ in to a 1/4“ I have never had any issues with any of them so whichever one you get I think you will be fine. Ideally one from Milwaukee, DeWalt or Makita.
Do you know if the same size of anvil would be required to mod the 12V Performance Impact Driver with the combined 1/2" and 1/4" hex as stated in this video? Any plans on checking that out in a future vid?
I have the answer and it is no. The insides of the 12V impact driver are completely different and I don't think it will handle a 1/2" anvil mode very good. On top of that even if you could fit an anvil like that to it, the end result would be much less powerful than the 12V impact wrench. I did entertain the 3/8" anvil mod, however no readily available anvil and lack of decent power compared to what the impact wrench can do.
On Hobby Basis I work on Cars. Im Glad I watched your Video and bought the 20v with 1/2 conversion im super happy about that. Wanted to remove lug bolts from audi a6 which Do get 140nm it couldnt remove with 4ah battery I was sad But after I put my 8ah np easily removed. I mean the 4ah Was half but is it so much difference??? İt felt like half Power or less.... Good Job mate im Glad i didnt buy this 12v shii....
Does the anvil turn freely by hand after the conversion? Because f not you need to disassemble it and take off about 1mm from the bottom of the anvil where it meets the impacting mechanism. For me both 4Ah and 8Ah batteries can undo 200Nm with no problems.
You know I ment that anvil on this commentary yesterday tho an impact one cloudnt find your video checked your chanel tough it was private maybe a bug there thanks for the amazing video
I do apologise for the problems! I do seem to have a lot of issues for some reason. Comments notifications can also be delayed by days for some reason… I hope you find the video useful!

I use mostly non Parkside bits and accessories on Parkside tools. The tools from Parkside are very good for the price but I don't think the same is applicable for their bits and accessories. I use Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee etc accessories and bits with my Parkside tools and that gets the most out of them.
Damn good video. Prompts me to repurpose my first series of the green 1/4 20v team impact driver now. Taking it apart and having a look inside. That machine is think you also have modified on other videos i think i seen it. Definitely has the torque for a small ish 3/8 all rounder. I been using it with hex to square adaptors and working on the motorbike, there weren’t many screws it couldn’t undo to start with.
Thank you so much! Yes I have converted the PDSSA A1 with a 1/2 anvil that also has a magnetic slot for 1/4" bits. There are a couple different ways to go about that conversion. I also happen to have a 3/8" anvil about so I will see if that is a possible and easy conversion and I have a video on that coming up as soon as I can get the time to film the thing. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
The 1/4" was a surprise. I liked the feel of it and for a 12V impact driver I felt it had some decent power. The hex collet was a bit of a pain in the backside to assemble but in the end it somewhat worked. I think had I been less cold outside and given it a fair shot to assemble it would have been very OEM-like.
One thing Id like to you try out with the 3/8 conversion either the 20 or 12v. Can you get/find a 3/8 long impact socket in CR-Mo, as I know socket weight/quality does make a difference in impacting power
I used the 3/8 anvil in the 20V PDSSAP as well. With the same type of socket in 1/2" and 3/8" form and the 1/2" won out by a lot. So I think in this case it is more down to the anvil than it is to the socket. A bigger socket will always help for sure. But this 3/8" anvil is just too small compared with the mass the 1/2" has on its side.
No 3/8 anvil with hex adapter? aka 3/8 stubby freak? :-( would be godsent for my work! I work on wheelchairs and motors for wheelchairs.. That combo would be awesome!
Unfortunately I don‘t think there is a way to fit a 1/4“ bit in to a 3/8“ anvil. It would be too thin and I don‘t think it will last. But I will keep an eye out! If something like that pops up I will see if I can make it happen for you!
That must have taken a long time to research. Thank you for sharing!
A couple of months. I hope it will help someone who wants to do it like this.
You're a legend
Just doing my bit to provide some entertainment and options to the people!

Is not half, but with 8ah there are more amps so the motor will be close to max power...
@@memutu I get it and I knew it too but didnt expect that much of a Power loss with 4ah

@@BrokeLifeEU yes it turns freely but only quarter turn which is normal i guess right?
Yes that is how it should be. Is your 4Ah battery old?

Can you please update the link to the 1/2" + 1/4" FREAK anvil ?
Absolutely! Now updated!

I wanna become like you when I grow up
That is so kind of you! However I am sure you are/will be better than you could ever imagine!
Sweet! Any issues with the hex driver collet binding up after use?

I cant find the 16x26x10 bushing on that link
Just had a look. Column 3 from left to right. Fourth one from the top down.
what grease are you using?
High temperature lithium grease. I have used that for some time now and have had no issues with it.
@@BrokeLifeEU thanks. I'm planning to try and do the same 1/2 mod to a ferrex impact driver
I have never seen the insides of a Ferrex. I hope it will be easy for you!
super
Thank you! I hope it was useful!
