The exact length of the extension bar isn’t specified in the provided description. It is designed to increase reach for hard-to-reach fasteners, but you’d need to check the product listing for the precise length measurement.

Question 5

How do I install and use the extension bar with my tool?

Accepted Answer

To use it, align the extension bar’s square drive with your tool’s drive and slide the corresponding socket onto the bar until it seats fully. Use with an impact driver or ratchet as needed, applying torque gradually and ensuring the socket remains engaged and straight to avoid slipping.

Question 6

What safety precautions should I follow when using this extension bar?

Accepted Answer

Wear eye protection and gloves if needed. Inspect the bar for cracks or wear before use, ensure it’s fully seated in the tool and socket, and avoid applying excessive torque that could over-stress the bar. Use the correct socket size to prevent rounding or slippage.
