Extension bars

When working in the engine compartment or other restricted spaces, it is not always possible to remove or install threaded fasteners using tools of standard size. To simplify these tasks, one can buy socket wrench extension bars. These elements are attached to the working part of the tool, thus extending it.

Types

• Flexible. They are particularly popular, since they allow working at almost any angle, and dismantling even elements that are hidden behind other elements.
• Rigid. They are characterized by reliability and durability. They are indispensable when the tool is exposed to high loads.

When purchasing online, pay attention to the fact that these tools also differ from each other:

• By the length. It may be 100, 150, 200 mm, and so on.
• By the shank size. In particular, catalogues include accessories for which this size is 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch.

Tips on using socket wrench extension bars

1. Never use the product separately from the socket wrench, and for other purposes - as a lever, in particular.
2. Unscrewing a fastener will be easier, if special lubricant is used. If possible, it is applied to the thread.
3. Before work, make sure that the extension bar is securely attached to the tool, and is not damaged.
