1/2-Inch Drive Flexible Handle, 500mm Length, Chrome-Plated
Brief Overview
This chrome-plated flexible handle delivers reliable performance for reaching fasteners in tight or angled spaces. The 500mm length positions this tool between compact working solutions and longer reach alternatives, making it ideal for medium-depth access applications. Pair this with shorter 380mm flexible handles for varied workspace configurations, or upgrade to extended 600mm options when maximum reach is required.
Key Features
- 1/2-inch male drive – Compatible with standard 1/2" drive sockets and attachments
- 500mm overall length – Balanced reach for general automotive and industrial assembly work
- Pivoting/flexible head – Allows socket positioning at multiple angles for confined access
- Chrome-plated finish – Corrosion resistance and professional appearance
- Knurled grip section – Enhanced control during manual operation
- Integrated socket detent – Prevents unintended socket separation during use
Why Resellers Choose This Handle
Stock this length as a core offering in any 1/2-inch drive kit. The 500mm length sits in the "sweet spot" for general mechanic work—long enough for most engine bay applications, compact enough for dashboard and suspension work. Customers will appreciate the flexibility advantage over rigid breaker bars when navigating exhaust manifolds, transmission lines, and confined fastener access points.
