3/4" drive is a lot more difficult to find than 1/2" drive.
Why not simply get a 3/4" to 1/2" reducer and a 1/2" drive socket?
or use a 1/2" drive ratchet or impact

Sorry forgot to tell the story of my stupidness..

I ordered a 3/4 Impact Gun. I already had a Set of 12 point sockets.

My dumbself didnt double check to make sure that the Sockets i had were 3/4 so i go ahead and order the 3/4 impact gun get up the next morning and find out that the sockets that i have are 3/8...yea i knw im a dummy.

SOO now im stuck with a 3/4 impact gun and i need a 3/4 17mm Socket (12 point) to take those flywheel bolts off.

You can get 1/2" drive 12 point socket set from sears or kmart since kmart and sears merged. But its not an impact set, but i still use the sockets w/ my impact gun and it always works fine.

ok, I mention the existance of a 3/4" to 1/2" reducer/adapter, B18C_EJ8 posts a link to one (second link) and you still ask if there is such a thing.

yes there is, yes Sears sells them.

personally I have a 1" to 3/4", 3/4" to 1/2", 1/2" to 1/4" and a 1" to 1/2".
they take some serious abuse so don't cheap out on quality.

had to pick on the ugly one didn't you.
imagine a 1/2-3/8 cut off, plus the barrel and tip of a 1/4" ratchet.... welded together.
I needed a super thin wall socket to get at a bolt on a snowmobile, yet a decent amount of power behind it with a few universals. After I shattered a craftsman 1/4" drive ratchet on it, I made this goofy thing. Worked great, all though I've only used it once. (same with the 1" to 1/2")

I forgot the 1/2-3/8 and 3/8-1/4 on the list.
