Description

12mm Hex Extra Reach Socket Wrench with Sliding T-Bar and Universal Joint

Brief Overview

This chrome-plated sliding T-bar socket extension delivers extended reach and angular access to fasteners in confined spaces. The telescoping design combines a 394mm working length with a universal swivel joint, making it an essential tool for mechanics tackling difficult bolt and nut removal. Whether your shop stocks smaller 8mm hex sockets or requires larger 14mm variants, this 12mm size fills a critical middle-ground for standard fastener work across automotive, industrial, and maintenance applications.

Key Features

  • Extra Reach Design: 394mm total length provides access to deeply recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners
  • Sliding Telescoping Shaft: Two concentric steel tubes with black plastic positioning collars allow length adjustment and secure locking at your required extension
  • Universal Swivel Joint: 360-degree pivoting capability at the socket end eliminates angle limitations and reduces wrist strain
  • 12mm Hex Female Socket: Six-point hex recess engineered for standard 12mm fasteners with secure, cam-free engagement
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Bright corrosion-resistant coating ensures durability and professional appearance across repeated use cycles
  • Precision Machined Construction: Solid steel components and precision-fitted joints deliver reliability under sustained torque application
  • T-Handle Ergonomics: Extended handle provides balanced leverage and control, reducing fatigue during extended wrench work

Why This Tool Moves Inventory

Shops restocking hand tool accessories face a critical challenge: tools must handle real-world working conditions without failure. This sliding T-bar extension addresses a specific operational gap—reaching fasteners in engine bays, behind panels, and within confined assemblies where standard sockets fall short. The universal joint eliminates the frustration of angled fasteners requiring multiple tool changes, and the telescoping design lets technicians dial in exactly the reach needed without excess bulk.

At 283 grams, it's light enough for one-handed positioning yet rigid enough to handle steady wrench torque. The chrome plating resists shop wear and maintains appearance across shipping and display cycles, reinforcing perceived value for your end customers.

Order in bulk to maximize margin and ensure your customers never stock out on this essential extension.
