Socket Wrench Extension

A socket wrench extension is a tool used to extend the reach of a socket wrench. It is a cylindrical metal rod with a square drive on one end and a female drive on the other end. The square drive end attaches to the socket wrench, while the female drive end accepts the socket or other tool attachment.

Socket wrench extensions come in various lengths, typically ranging from a few inches to several feet. They are used when the fastener or bolt being worked on is in a hard-to-reach or tight space. By attaching the extension to the socket wrench, the user can access and turn the fastener without having to directly reach it with the wrench.

Socket wrench extensions are commonly used in automotive repair, construction, and other mechanical applications where access to tight spaces is required. They are available in different sizes and can be used with both metric and standard (imperial) sockets.
