Received these 2 tools as a gift and need a little help with parts/adapters/connectors to attach in order to use these.

Dewalt DCF885
https://www.amazon.com/Dewalt-Dcf885-Lithium-Impact-Driver/dp/B014W2OWZU
(Cordless 1/4" Impact Driver)

Dewalt DCF883 (mine is not the B model but it is the same tool as in link)
https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCF883B-20-Volt-Lithium-8-Inch/dp/B007NVSQEQ
(Cordless Impact Wrench with Hog Ring, 3/8-Inch)

It seems I need to purchase some type of extension(s) or adapters as none of my existing small sockets match these.

Would someone have a suggestion or two as to what I could buy off Amazon or Home Depot to make use of these as I literally have no extensions or sockets or screwset/drills, nothing that mates with these two.

For using socket:

This is the search for socket adapter (cut and paste):

I have a MAXFIT 3.5 inch #2 Robertson and it's the nicest one I've ever had, I totally recommend them.

An example: https://www.tekton.com/3-8-inch-drive-shallow-6-point-impact-socket-set-47915
Tekton is nice but laser etching instead of roll marked = no bueno.

Would you have a link to ... MAXFIT 3.5 inch #2 Robertson and a roll market set ?
 
I have several 1/4" DeWalt and Makita (and even a Ryobi) cordless impact drivers...

They are HANDY HANDY HANDY tools to have!

I have several of these sets (I do not use impact sockets with them):

Great suggestions, thank you all !

For the DCF883 Hog Ring, 3/8-Inch, is there a link anyone would have for a short adapter or something so I could use it with my existing sockets ?
