Crescent CDTA9C Drive Extension Review

Great replacement for my tool box. I'm not a heavy-duty mechanic, but I need this extension every now and then. Well-known brand at a great price. I recommend it.

Bought as a necessary part to service my car. You need an extension cord to get to the spark plugs. Had good coverage, felt solid, did the job. No twisting or rounding. would recommend

I know I have about six of these hidden somewhere in my garage. I was going to put my new spark plugs in, and because the top brace needed to be so long. It worked as you can imagine - very well.

Good quality and goes well with my sockets and bits. Wouldn't use this for my impact wrench but still solid enough. You're paying double for a 6" 3/8" extension from other vendors, so it's a pretty good deal.

I needed a socket extension to be able to change the spark plugs on my Toyota. The 6-inch extension was long enough to reach the spark plug but short enough to squeeze into the tight space under the windshield rain cover. I was able to apply good torque with no noticeable steering twist, and it fits tight without leaving room for wobble. For the price I would definitely recommend it for everyday use where an extension cord is needed.

All of these positive reviews are based on the fact that this Crescent extension looks nice and shiny. In fact, this extender has a huge and unacceptable amount of "swallowing" or wobble when plugged into an outlet. I fitted a US made Craftsman spark plug socket and the "wiggle" from this extension was tremendous - much sloppier than the standard unbranded extension I have. There seems to be a connection between Crescent and others who have instruments made in China, like this instrument, and…
