Description

1-Inch Drive Impact Extension Bar, 175mm Length

Brief Overview

This 1-inch drive impact extension bar extends your reach in tight work spaces without sacrificing durability. Built from impact-rated forged steel with a matte-finish surface, it's engineered to handle the shock loads of pneumatic and cordless impact tools. The 175mm length provides a practical balance between reach and maneuverability. If you need additional coverage across your socket range, consider pairing this with matching 3/4-inch drive extensions or longer 1-inch reach options to build a complete impact extension system.

Key Features

  • 1-inch square drive – Compatible with all standard 1″ drive sockets and impact tools
  • 175mm length – Extends tool reach for confined work areas without excess bulk
  • 54mm outer diameter – Designed for strength-to-weight balance in heavy-duty applications
  • Forged steel construction – Impact-rated material absorbs shock loads without failure
  • Recessed square drive connection – Secure female socket with detent hole for positive engagement
  • Retaining pin provision – Rectangular hole for lanyard or safety attachment
  • Matte finish – Corrosion-resistant surface reduces oxidation and improves grip

Why This Matters for Your Shop

Professional Longevity: Impact extension bars take the shock that would otherwise transfer to sockets and joints. This bar's forged steel construction means fewer replacements and higher customer satisfaction. Resellers report that stocking the correct extension lengths reduces call-backs for missed fasteners.

Profit Consistency: Extension bars have zero wearing parts—they either work or they don't. Once sold, they stay in the toolbox for years, making them a reliable revenue item with minimal warranty exposure.

System Building: Customers rarely buy a single extension. They build sets in different lengths to cover different drive sizes and reach requirements. This creates multiple transaction opportunities within a single shop account.
