Tom,
I can tell you of an experience with impact adapters 
when I was turning wrenches for a living years ago. 
Boss wanted me to remove lugs from a large truck wheel/axle, 
for what purpose I dont remember, and instructed me to use 
his 3/4" impact when the 1/2" impact wouldnt budge them. 
The shop supplied all the tools at this job. 
We didnt have the proper 3/4" drive socket, and rather than the 
shop buy an expensive socket, I was instructed to 
use a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter and a 1/2" drive socket.
Badatatatataaaaaaaroooooom! 
Twisted the adapter right off in the middle. 
Fluke? Bad tool?
Had another new 1/2 to 3/4 adapter brought in with the daily parts order. 
Snapped it on, cranked up the 3/4 impact, Badatatataataaaaarooooom! 
Twisted it off, same place.
The shop bought the proper socket and it worked fine. :D
