Description

6mm Hex Extra Reach Socket Wrench Sliding T-Bar Extension with Universal Joint

Brief Overview

This 6mm hex socket extension delivers exceptional reach and flexibility for precision fastening in tight or confined spaces. The 388mm shaft length combined with a universal joint and sliding T-bar handle provides mechanics with the extended access they need to reach fasteners in recessed areas, engine bays, and complex assemblies. Available alongside larger 8mm and 10mm socket variants for comprehensive size coverage across your inventory.

Key Features

  • Extended Reach Design: 388mm overall shaft length maximizes access to deeply recessed fasteners
  • Universal Joint: Swivel head allows socket to work at angles without stress on the tool or fastener
  • Sliding T-Bar Handle: Removable perpendicular handle slides along shaft for optimal leverage positioning; adjustable stop collars provide consistent placement
  • 6-Point Hex Socket: Precision-machined 6mm female hex ensures secure engagement and resists rounding on small fasteners
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Polished metal construction resists corrosion and maintains professional appearance
  • Lightweight Profile: 169g weight reduces operator fatigue during extended use

Why This Product Works for Your Shop

Mechanic Appeal: Precision work on small fasteners—electronics assembly, instrument clusters, tight engine compartment fasteners—demands tools that don't slip or strip. The 6-point engagement and universal joint eliminate the frustration of cam-out and binding in confined spaces.

Inventory Advantage: Precision socket extensions in smaller sizes (6mm, 8mm) fill a critical gap in most shops' tool kits. They're frequently requested for electronics work, small engine assembly, and restoration projects. Stock this alongside 11mm and 13mm extensions to capture the full precision fastening market.

Durability & Durability: Chrome-plated construction with a solid shaft design means minimal maintenance. The sliding collar mechanism requires no lubrication and resists wear from repeated adjustments.
