A quick-release socket adapter includes a hollow elongated casing having a front end for holding a socket and a rear end for coupling to a ratchet socket wrench, a spring, a stop rod inserted into the casing and forced by the spring to push a steel ball partially out of a transverse hole on the front end of the casing to lock the socket being mounted on the front end of the casing, and a release control rod inserted through a transverse through hole on the casing and moved to lock/unlock the stop rod, the release control rod having a smoothly curved peripheral notch on the middle which receives a rounded head of the stop rod, enabling the steel ball to be forced out of the transverse bole on the front end of the casing into engagement with the socket being mounted on the front end of the casing.
