Description of STEELMAN 60159 4 Inch Purple Extension

10-inch extension - torque extension is 10-inches long to allow easy clearance and prevent damage to wheels by a too close impact wrench. Resilient steel - made of durable and resilient chrome molybdenum steel. Prevent over-tightening - prevent over-tightening that can lead to premature failure of wheels, wheel studs, and rotors. Powder coated - powder coated dark purple for additional corrosion resistance and to easily identify it among other extensions and tools. Flexes to limit torque - when 350 ft-lb of torque is reached the extension will flex and absorb additional impacts instead of continuing to tighten

Extending your Reach: A Must for Mechanics!

My analysis of this tool showed that it’s a must-have for every mechanic. Its striking purple finish makes it easy TO find in a toolbox .The extension has a strong and durable construction that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. The extension helps you easily access hard-to-reach lug nuts and bolts in tight spaces making tire changes and repairs much easier. However, its only 4 inches long, which may not be enough for certain vehicles with deeper wheels..

Pros
  • Durable and strong material to provide a reliable extension for your tools.
Cons
  • May not fit all brands of sockets due to its specific size and compatibility.

Great Addition to Automotive Tools

According to my experience, adding this purple extension TO my collection of automotive tools has been a game changer. It easily allows me to reach those hard-to-get-to spots when working with my tires and wheels. The extension is durable and has held up to heavy use. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey compared to other extensions on the market .Overall, I highly recommend this product for any automotive enthusiast looking to make their maintenance tasks easier..

Pros
  • Durable steel construction
Cons
  • Only adds 4 inches of length

Much cheaper than a 600 ft lb torque wrench (assuming you already have a 3/4 " impact wrench)

Seems to work as expected . (I can't be sure if they will be torqued to 475 ft. lbs as I don't have a 600 ft. lb. torque wrench to double check). It took over 500 ft-lbs to loosen the lock nut (based on calculated weight x length of crowbar). ), so it was definitely in the stadium.

Pros
  • Powder Coated - Dark purple powder coat finish for added corrosion resistance and easy differentiation from other extensions and tools
Cons
