Each of the upper adapter leg and the lower adapter leg includes a first restraint ledge and a second restraint ledge. The work tool assembly also includes anti-bending stabilizers welded to the work tool lip and each including a hold-down head in contact with one of the first restraint ledge or the second restraint ledge.
