Slim Bodies With Documented Diameters
The slim joints have outside body diameters of 28, 23.7 and 16.6 mm for the 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4-inch drives respectively. Measure the required clearance before selecting a joint.

LX-113-S is the slim-body three-joint set in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2-inch drives. Listed body diameters are 16.6, 23.7 and 28 mm respectively, providing specific clearance dimensions to compare with your socket and access path.

Heat-treated chrome molybdenum alloy steel, with listed manganese phosphate treatment and chrome-coated slim body. Confirm the operating load for your application.

Three slim ball-spring universal joints with 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2-inch drives and organizer tray.

Choose by connection size, socket opening, reach and working clearance.
| Job or attachment | Works | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Listed drive connections | Yes, when sizes match | 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2-inch square drives. Confirm secure seating. |
| Automotive and maintenance work | Application dependent | Match the socket opening, working space and tool capacity to the fastener. |
| Other drive sizes | No assumed direct fit | Check the input and output drive separately before buying. |
| Unidentified vehicle or tool model | Not a verified fit guarantee | Confirm the required fastener size and actual tool connection. |
| Unspecified high-torque work | Operating limit needs confirmation | Ask Lexivon for the size-specific operating limit before high-load use. |
The slim joint body diameters are 28 mm for 1/2-inch drive, 23.7 mm for 3/8-inch drive and 16.6 mm for 1/4-inch drive. Measure the access space around your socket and joint before buying.
Three joints cover 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4-inch square drives. Slim describes the body design rather than a different square-drive standard.
Compare your available space with the listed body diameter and the socket you will use. Smaller girth is documented, but no universal narrow-space fit is established.
The 1/4-inch slim joint has a 16.6 mm outside body diameter. Confirm the required bend and socket clearance in addition to that dimension.
The output drive must match the socket. LX-113-S is a swivel set in three matching drive sizes, rather than a four-piece reducer kit.
The slim joints have square-drive inputs. They do not fit directly into a hex quick-change holder; a suitable separate connection is needed.
The slim joint allows rotation around the drive axis. Its gallery describes a 30-degree working angle with 360-degree rotation; that does not mean it can bend through a full circle.
The slim joints have matte black and chrome coating. No measured visibility improvement is specified; choose by body dimensions and drive connections.
LX-113-S has stated maximum capacities of about 500 in-lb on 1/4-inch drive, 2,000 in-lb on 3/8-inch drive and 5,600 in-lb on 1/2-inch drive. These are capacities for the slim model itself; ask Lexivon to confirm the angle and impact conditions for your job.
The slim set is listed as impact grade, but no torque-versus-angle chart is supplied. Confirm application limits rather than assuming identical performance at every angle.
The slim joint set uses heat-treated chrome molybdenum alloy steel.
Its listed outside diameter is 23.7 mm. That does not include a guaranteed clearance allowance for the socket, nearby parts or the working angle.
For 1/2-inch pieces, listed body diameter is 28 mm on LX-113-S and 35 mm on LX-113. The 3/8-inch bodies are 23.7 and 27.8 mm respectively.
The slim joints have spring-loaded detent balls and drive holes. Confirm the retention arrangement required by your actual tool.
Manganese phosphate treatment and chrome coating are used on the slim design. Ask Lexivon to confirm the finish on a particular component if that affects your selection.
The three slim joints come together in an organizer tray.
The documented contents are slim universal joints and organizer. Matching sockets are separate, and their own outside dimensions still determine wheel-recess fit.
Online registration within 90 days activates the slim model's lifetime defects coverage. If it is not registered, standard coverage is 12 months.
Match the square drive and check the body, socket and working-angle clearance. The smaller published diameters do not remove the need to seat both connections securely.
Stop using the slim joint and contact Lexivon. Do not substitute the standard model's pin or attempt an improvised repair.
Compare the actual access path with the listed 28, 23.7 or 16.6 mm body diameter for your drive. The finish does not change the needed assembly clearance.
The kit lists three joints in 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4-inch drive. Check each marking and report the incomplete inventory to the seller or Lexivon.
Commercial use has 12 months coverage and cannot be extended. Industrial use is excluded; lifetime registration does not override those usage terms.
No. Coverage is for material and workmanship defects. Normal wear, misuse, modification and damage from non-original parts are excluded; Lexivon determines the resolution under its policy.
