    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.

    Bend these extensions to reach inconveniently located fasteners. These sets include multiple extension lengths, so you can find the right length to reach around obstructions. They’re best for light duty adjustments because they can’t apply as much torque as standard socket extensions. Use them with hand-drive tools only.
