Universal joints allow a ratchet or extension to pivot at an angle, giving technicians access to fasteners in tight or obstructed spaces where a straight drive path is impossible. This joint is compact at 1.375 inches in length and weighs 0.04 pounds, making it easy to maneuver in confined engine bays, underdash areas, or other restricted work zones. It is suited for use by automotive technicians and mechanical trade professionals working with 1\/4 inch drive socket sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis universal joint is intended for use in automotive and light mechanical service applications where a 1\/4 inch drive is the appropriate size. The compact form factor makes it a practical addition to a 1\/4 inch drive socket set for reaching recessed or angled fasteners. It is sold individually and fits standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact length of 1.375 inches for access in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.04 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually (each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/4 inch drive universal joint compatible with 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and sockets following common drive size standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal joints are installed by hand into a 1\/4 inch drive ratchet or extension and do not require tools for attachment. When using a universal joint, apply steady, controlled torque to avoid side-loading the joint excessively, which can reduce socket retention and drive efficiency. Ensure the fastener is fully seated in the socket before applying torque at an angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Polish Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 099575801006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344172810546,"sku":"80100","price":24.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310497414.jpg?v=1782030661","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-80100-universal-joint-1-4-inch-drive-chrome","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
