Gearwrench 81116 1/4 in Drive Socket Extension 6 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 81116 is a 1/4 inch drive socket extension designed for reaching fasteners in confined or recessed locations where a direct socket-to-ratchet connection is not practical. Built from steel with a chrome finish, this extension measures 6 inches in overall length and provides a rigid, reliable link between the ratchet and socket. It conforms to ASME standards, making it a dependable choice for professional mechanics, maintenance technicians, and automotive service pros who require consistent tool performance under daily shop conditions.

This extension is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastener work using 1/4 inch drive tooling. It fits into standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The 6 inch length provides additional reach without adding significant bulk, making it practical for engine bay work, HVAC equipment panels, appliance service, and general mechanical assembly where clearance is limited.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before use, inspect the drive square and the socket well for wear, cracks, or corrosion that could cause slippage or rounding of fasteners. When working on electrical panels or energized equipment, de-energize and lock out the circuit before using any hand tools in proximity to live components. Do not apply impact loads to this extension unless it is specifically rated for impact use.
