Good product bad design

Lockout extender exactly as is. The only downside is that the locking button sticks out quite a bit, making it impossible to reach hard-to-reach places. Unless he does what he's made for

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • So far so good

Works well but collar is broken

Head latches are fine but my collar broke after 2nd use. Not a big deal, I just have to use a pocket screwdriver or pickaxe to unclip the socket, still works fine just a bit annoying. Fits in tighter spaces without it now, so maybe that's better lol

Pros
  • Individual power heads
Cons
  • Non automatic

Quality tools for quality mechanics

Exactly what I was looking for. The extension has a good finish and I tested it at 200 foot pounds and it held up great. I have a 6 inch mainly for spark plugs and the red and black ring at the end of the extension really isn't that bulky. It is no wider than the drive socket into which you insert the ratchet. I also found the ring to be no wider than my 3/8 sockets, so if you're concerned about the gap this shouldn't be a problem.

Pros
  • Sockets and socket sets
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was something
