suitable for a wide range of tasks. The adapters can easily be
reground to a special shape by the customer for specialized applications.

The
heart of the Chapman Tools is the precision ratchet,
part No. CHAP. CM-13. This high quality, miniature tool with a
twenty tooth ratchet is made of stainless steel.
It far exceeds the torque standards set by Military Specifications.
Having a short 18 degree working arc, it is unbeatable
for working in close quarters (ratchet dimensions shown below).
Dependable and fast acting (easy one handed in and out adapter
changes), it easily drives Slotted, Square, Phillips,
Allen Hex type, Reed and Prince, Bristol (6-flute multispline)
and TORX fasteners. Used with the 1/4" square drive adapter,
it also accommodates 1/4" square drive sockets. Reverse action
is obtained by simply tuning the ratchet over. Complimenting the
ratchet is the stackable extension and screwdriver handle.

Chapman
versatile Adapters are constructed of the highest quality Chrome
Nickel Molybdenum Alloy Steel and precision made to ensure a proper
fit. Their dual purpose knurled Spinner Tops allow for
quick finger tightening of threads and for instant "push
down" removal of the adapter from the ratchet. Ball-detents
plus 'ear' stops quickly position and secure each adapter in the
ratchet, the extension, or the screwdriver handle.
Since these adapters are very economical, you may choose to
customized the shape of any adapter for a specialized job. Chapman
adapters are constructed of fully hardened tool steel, so when
grinding these adapters remember they must be kept below 400 °F to retain their hardness.
Adapters are available in these
head styles: Allen Hex Type sizes; Metric Hex Type sizes;
Phillips Head; Slotted Head, Bristol 6-flute Multispline; Reed
and Prince; Square Head; TORX and Gunsmith Specialty Slotted.
In addition, the 1/4" Square adapter is used to drive your
standard sockets.
Adapters are available in pre-packaged kits for a specific style of fastener and as individual adapters (referred to as open stock).
