Review on πŸ”§ GA-EXT Superior Electric Grinder Arbor Extension - 5/8" x 11 Thread x 2" - Enhanced SEO by Will Ridpath

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Keep the threads too short and too wide for every conceivable use.

Well this is exactly what anyone looking for a 5/8 inch mandrel extension that isn't five miles long needs. And it would be if it weren't for the terrible design. As mentioned, the male thread is too short to use safely and correctly with any mechanism I can think of as you can't use both ends with almost everything. The end is too short and only has about 3 threaded bosses to try and attach the female end of the head or something. Men's thread is too big to work with everything I have and all of my items work great together. I think the only way to use this is to grind the threads and then turn a 6-12k wide disc of the center section of the adapter itself. For $6 I didn't even bother to read the reviews or pay attention to the rating but if you take the time to read this you are better off just following mine and everyone else's advice and pay money for something else . Unfortunately 3 packs of 3, 6, 8 expansions were pulled from Amazon before I could buy them. So I'm very happy that this is exactly what I need, but totally wrong for any possible use the extension could actually be used for. Edit: There are now really good 3 packs of steel shaft extensions at Revain. That's great lol. I'm pretty sure this extension is buried on the floor behind my tool bench, who knows what it is under my bench and where it should be. This was supposed to be a 1 star review but honestly I don't want to give the seller such a dirty job for not taking the time to read the reviews first. And for just $6, it's likely getting people really happy with their apps. Only assholes give a star lol.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • It's ok
