At the end of the anvil there is a retaining ring with an o-ring acting as a spring which holds the socket to the anvil. Sometimes they need to be adjusted. You can try and compress the retaining ring slightly by using a channellock plier, adjust accordingly and squeeze slightly until you get the desired tension. If you still cannot attach the socket then you will have to replace the retaining ring and o-ring as a set.

• There are no chucks with these newer impact wrenches. See that little ring on the tip of the socket shaft? That is a lock ring and that is what holds your sockets in place. You will want to keep a few 1/2 impact wrench lock rings around. There is a tool they make to aid in removing and replacing those rings but it is not necessary. You can use a small flathead screwdriver and walk the old one off and the same for replacing it. All you need to do is snap a socket on there real good and let'er rip.

A hand ratchet wrench uses a ball to hold the socket on the shaft. Impact wrenches use a ring. The ring is needed for the high speeds.
There should be a groove on the end of the socket end. That groove should have a round or flat ring in it. That ring keeps the sockets from falling off. It is missing go to Bosch for a replacement.

Make sure the expansion ring is on the end of the impact gun. this holds the sockets in place.

You need to open the chuck and remove the bolt from the bottom of it[usually a #2 phillips].The next step is to insert a 5/16 allen wrench into the chuck and tighten the chuck.Hold the drill with the chuck facing away from you then strike the allen wrench with a hammer on the right side[so it goes down] and now you will be able to remove it by hand,good luck.

I have the same problem, brand new impact wrench, brand new impact sockets, but can't get a socket onto the gun. Leaned on it with all my weight, wiggled, nothing. and yes they are both 1/2" drive. WTH?

all switch off for safety. hold the blade & turn nut to counter clockwise. i use impact gun. socket 3/4".
