Review on πŸ”§ Steelman Pro 36-Inch Swivel Impact Extension for High Torque Transfer - Pinless Joint Design (79995) by Robert Rick

Saved My Bacon - Power & Hand Tools

Repaired a power steering gear for an LX450 and was on a tight schedule. The line fittings were frozen, I broke the 17mm box wrench I had. Went down the road to Lowe, took the Cobalt and bent it to the point that it was afraid of rounding the fitting. Went online and ordered a set of Neiko ring wrenches and this extender/oscillation/reducer. Drowned the fittings for the high and low lines in the PB blaster while waiting for the tools to arrive. When they arrived they put the goose foot on the fitting, attached the extension, ran it past the PS tank and pocketed my impact wrench, pounded at half pressure for a minute and a half and it popped right out. It now lives in my toolbox and I hope that difficult tasks can be accomplished with ease for years to come. Incidentally, I treated the end of the swing with excellent Tri-Flow lube to protect it from oxidation and reduce the friction that occurs at sharp angles. This is a much less jagged feeling after treatment.
