It features a locking mechanism combined with a ball detent that holds the socket firmly in place during use, reducing the risk of the socket separating inside a tight work space. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean quickly after use. This extension is sold individually and is a standard addition to a professional socket set for both bench and in-vehicle service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extension is suited for automotive, light truck, and general mechanical service applications where a 3\/8-inch drive is the appropriate tool size. The 3-inch length provides reach in confined engine bays or chassis locations without adding excessive flex. It is commonly used by automotive technicians, diesel mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals working on fasteners that require moderate torque application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking mechanism and ball detent keep the socket secure during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch length provides reach in confined work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch drive tang fits standard 3\/8-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull polish chrome finish resists corrosion and cleans easily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually — no minimum quantity requirement beyond one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8-inch drive sockets and ratchets following industry-standard drive tang dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed mechanic or qualified technician should select the correct drive size and extension length before beginning fastener work. Ensure the socket is fully seated and locked onto the extension before applying torque. Do not use extensions as breaker bars or apply impact loads unless the tool is rated for impact use. Inspect the extension for cracks or corrosion before each use and remove from service if damage is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Polish Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\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: 81250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344602005810,"sku":"81250","price":22.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310498269.jpg?v=1782037572","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-81250-locking-extension-3-inch-3-8-inch-drive","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
