"The new Long Locking Impact Extensions solve a problem that technicians often face," said Jim Stewart, product manager for GearWrench. "When putting an impact socket on distant fasteners in tight spaces, these extensions provide the security of knowing the socket will not come off and need to be retrieved."
The Long Locking Impact Extensions, made from impact grade Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo), have a Manganese Phosphate coating that provides superior corrosion resistance. The extensions also have a pin hole and O-ring groove, so they can be used with a pin and O-ring retention system to securely lock the extension to the impact wrench.
All GearWrench Impact Extensions meet or exceed ASME specifications, are covered by the GearWrench lifetime warranty, and are made to provide hard-working technicians with famous GearWrench quality and value.
