Carlyle 3/8 Drive – 76mm Chrome Socket Extension (CEXT3803)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CEXT3803

This is the Carlyle CEXT3803, a short 76mm extension for 3/8in drive in polished chrome. It adds enough length to clear a lip, pulley or neighbouring bolt head so the ratchet can swing freely, while staying short enough to keep the socket steady and square on the fastener.

Good to know

• When does a short extension help most? When the ratchet head fouls something next to the bolt. Lifting it a few centimetres often gives full swing, which is quicker and safer than working at an awkward angle.
• Can I stack it with others? Yes, but each extra joint adds play and wobble; one longer extension is steadier than two short ones joined together.
• Is it suitable for impact tools? No, it is chrome. Keep chrome extensions for hand work, as they can crack or shatter on an impact gun.
