    Socket Extensions

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Socket Extensions. Socket Extensions.
    Attach these extensions to your socket for a longer reach. Use with hand-drive tools only.
    Chrome-Plated Steel—Chrome-plated extensions have a smooth, shiny surface that resists corrosion and is easy to clean.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Black-oxide extensions aren’t as smooth as chrome-plated extensions, so they’re easier to grip when dirty or wet. Oil them periodically to maintain their corrosion resistance.

    Also known as positive-locking extensions, these extensions hold sockets in place with a ball that only retracts when you pull the collar down. Designed to prevent accidental detachment, they lock to your socket more securely than other extensions. They’re thicker and less brittle than manual extensions, so they withstand the high torque and force of impact tools. They flex slightly when force is applied, so they’re less likely to break. Each set includes three common extension lengths to tackle a variety of jobs.

    Impact Square Drive Adapters for Air Hammers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Socket Adapters. Impact Square Drive Adapters for Air Hammers.
    Use the pulsing of an air hammer along with the controlled turning of a hand wrench to release stuck fasteners without breaking them. These adapters give you better handling than an impact wrench plus more power than turning just by hand. Attach the square drive to your impact-rated socket and insert the round shank into the chuck of your air hammer. As you hammer, use a wrench to turn the hex portion of the adapter to control the socket. Adapters have a 0.401" round shank that fits the most common air hammers.
