Carlyle 3/8 Drive – 150mm Chrome Socket Extension (CEXT3806)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CEXT3806

Carlyle's CEXT3806 is a 150mm extension for 3/8in drive in polished chrome. 3/8in drive covers most engine work, and this length gets a ratchet and socket down past manifolds, covers and hoses to bolts in the engine bay, with your hand up where there is room to swing the handle.

Good to know

• Can I lean on it with a long ratchet? Within reason. A 150mm bar takes normal hand loads, but for a seized bolt, use a breaker bar and keep the extension as short as the job allows.
• Does it work on an impact gun? No, this is a chrome extension, and chrome parts can crack or shatter under impact blows. Use an impact extension with a gun.
• How do I stop the socket wobbling? Hold the joint between extension and socket with your free hand as you start, and keep the extension in line with the bolt.

Which one?

For shorter reach, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive – 76mm Chrome Socket Extension (CEXT3803) is steadier; for longer, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 250mm Chrome Extension (CEXT3810); and for an impact gun, the Carlyle 4 Piece 3/8 Drive impact extension set (CIEXTS384).
