    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.

    Drives

    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.
