Built from steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts a 3\/8 inch male drive input and delivers a 3\/8 inch female drive output. Overall length measures 2 inches. The chrome plating resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward after use. This universal joint is a hand-tool accessory installed by mechanics, technicians, and tradespeople who need to drive fasteners that fall outside a straight-line tool path. It meets ANSI and ASME standards and carries a lifetime warranty from GEARWRENCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis universal joint suits residential, commercial, and light industrial service work where standard extensions cannot reach a fastener at a direct angle. Common applications include engine service, HVAC equipment fastener access, plumbing fixture installation, and electrical panel or equipment work where fasteners are recessed or angled. It fits into any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or extension as a mid-stack component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch male-to-female drive configuration for use in standard 3\/8 inch drive tool stacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inch overall length keeps the drive stack compact while adding angular flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-plated steel construction resists corrosion and surface wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ASME standards for dimensional and performance compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty backed by GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style accessory for use with any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or socket set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsert the 3\/8 inch male end into any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or extension before attaching the socket to the female end. Ensure the retaining detent or locking mechanism on the adjacent tool is fully engaged before applying torque. Universal joints reduce effective torque transfer at higher deflection angles, so keep the working angle as shallow as practical. No special tools or codes are required for use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Drive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFemale Drive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ASME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80549\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEARWRENCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538927550770,"sku":"80549","price":32.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/67ca973b0a4556058604e1abd307d9f6.jpg?v=1785829918","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gearwrench-80549-3-8-inch-universal-joint-chrome-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
