Which accessory changes drive sizes to fit different sockets?

• A. Adapters
• B. Bar extensions
• C. Sliding T handle
• D. Diagonal pliers

Answer: (A)

Adapters change drive sizes to fit different sockets. A ratchet or handle has a fixed square drive, while sockets come in matching sizes. An adapter converts from one drive size to another, letting you use sockets with a different drive size than the ratchet. For example, you can connect a 1/4-inch drive ratchet to 3/8-inch sockets with a 1/4-to-3/8 adapter. Bar extensions only extend reach without changing drive size, a sliding T handle is for leverage, and diagonal pliers are for cutting and gripping. So the accessory that makes drive sizes compatible is adapters.
