Description

1/4-Inch Drive Extension Bar, 75mm Length, Chrome Vanadium Steel

Brief Overview

This 75mm extension bar bridges the gap between socket and fastener in tight or recessed applications. Built from chrome vanadium steel with a polished finish, it delivers the rigidity and durability expected in professional workshops. The spring-loaded detent ball at the drive end ensures secure socket retention during use. For mechanics working in compact spaces, this short extension is essential—pair it with a longer 100mm or 150mm extension for versatility across different reach requirements.

Key Features

  • Drive Size: 1/4-inch square drive (male) with female socket recess
  • Length: 75mm—ideal for close-quarters work
  • Material: Chrome vanadium steel, stamped and machined for precision
  • Surface Finish: Chrome-plated with smooth, polished shaft
  • Socket Retention: Spring-loaded detent ball prevents socket dropout
  • Drive Geometry: Precision-machined square drives on both ends
  • Design: Straight, tubular construction for maximum strength in compact form

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Velocity SKU: Short extensions move faster than longer variants in most shops—perfect for impulse stocking
  • Margin-Friendly: Ideal entry-point product for customers building their socket collection
  • Compatibility: Works with any 1/4-inch drive socket in your catalog, creating natural bundle opportunities
  • Low Inventory Cost: Minimal shelf footprint with strong demand from precision and light-duty mechanics

Why This Product Matters

The 75mm length is the sweet spot for confined spaces—engine bays, under dashboards, or tight mechanical assemblies where a full-length socket wouldn't fit. Chrome vanadium construction resists wear and corrosion, ensuring long service life even in humid or demanding environments. The spring-loaded detent eliminates the frustration of sockets spinning off mid-task, protecting both the mechanic and your shop's reputation for quality.

Closing Statement

Stock this extension in volume. It's a workhorse SKU that complements every 1/4-inch drive socket you sell, and the compact 75mm length ensures it stays relevant across automotive, light industrial, and precision assembly work. Mechanics who use one will buy more.
