    Continuous-Use Socket Extensions

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Socket Extensions. Continuous-Use Socket Extensions.
    First developed for aerospace and automotive assembly processes, these extensions will stand up to your high-volume production and assembly lines. They're hardened to resist wear yet have enough flex to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools without cracking. Use them to lengthen the reach of your impact socket.
    3/4" Square Drive—3/4" square drive extensions require a retaining ring when used with impact tools that have a hole- or ring-and-hole style socket retainer. They work without a retaining ring when used with impact wrenches that have a pin-style socket retainer.

    Continuous-Use Square Drive Size Adapters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Socket Adapters. Continuous-Use Square Drive Size Adapters.
    These adapters, which convert from one square drive size to another, were designed to tolerate continuous use with impact tools in high-volume production and assembly. They’re hardened to resist cracking and wear from repeated use, lasting longer than standard impact adapters.
    3/4" Square Drive and 1" Square Drive—3/4" and 1" square drive size adapters require a locking retainer. Use with an impact wrench that has a pin-style socket retainer, or use a socket retaining ring with tools that have a hole- or hole-and-ring style socket retainer.

    Use these adapters to connect sockets to impact wrenches and other power tools—they’re designed to tolerate continuous use in high-volume production and assembly. They’re hardened to resist wear from repeated use, lasting longer than standard impact adapters. They convert square-drive sockets so they can attach to power drills, impact drivers, and other tools that accept a hex shank.

    These sockets are designed to tolerate continuous use with power tools and impact tools in high-volume production and assembly. They’re hardened to resist wear from repeated use, so they’ll last longer than standard impact sockets. The bit is replaceable—swap out a worn or broken bit with one of the same size.
    These sockets require a locking retainer. Use with an impact or power tool that has a pin-style socket retainer, or use a socket retaining ring with tools that have a hole- or hole-and-ring style socket retainer.
