Жайгашуу
To use the flexible socket extensions, select the appropriate drive size (1/4-inch or 3/8-inch) and length for your application. Attach your desired socket to the square drive end of the extension. The spring-loaded detent ball on the extension ensures a secure fit, preventing the socket from slipping off during use. Connect the other end of the extension to your ratchet or drive tool.

Иштөө нускамалары
These flexible socket extensions are designed to navigate around obstructions and reach fasteners that are otherwise inaccessible with rigid extensions. The flex spring shafts allow the extensions to bend into multiple positions, enabling you to apply torque from various angles. They are ideal for light-duty torque applications where space is limited. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the detent ball before applying force.
