3/4-Inch Drive Flexible Handle, 480mm Length with Universal Joint
Brief Overview
This 3/4-inch drive flexible handle delivers the precise articulation mechanics need when standard extensions won't fit. The universal joint mechanism allows 90-degree pivoting at the drive end, making it indispensable for accessing fasteners at awkward angles—behind components, in confined engine bays, or along complex assembly lines. The 480mm length provides practical reach without excessive leverage complications. Whether you're stocking a general mechanics shop or building a specialized industrial toolkit, this handle pairs seamlessly with premium 3/4-inch drive breaker bars and longer flexible extensions to cover the full spectrum of socket applications.
Key Features
- Universal Joint Design: 90-degree pivoting capability at the drive end for angled access
- 480mm Effective Length: Balanced reach-to-control ratio for professional applications
- Chrome-Plated Steel Construction: Durable polished finish resists corrosion and maintains appearance under heavy use
- Square Drive Interface: Standard 3/4-inch drive compatibility with all corresponding sockets and attachments
- Longitudinal Groove Detail: Structural feature that reinforces the shaft while maintaining smooth operation
