Fixman Extension Bar 1/2" x 125mm

At a Glance: 125mm extension bar with 1/2" drive for extra reach when using compatible sockets and ratchets

The Fixman FIX J0308 extension bar is designed to provide extra reach when working with compatible 1/2" drive sockets, ratchets and accessories. The 125mm length helps access recessed or awkwardly positioned fasteners where a socket fitted directly to the ratchet may not reach comfortably, making it useful for workshop, automotive, machinery, equipment, appliance, assembly, maintenance and general repair applications.

Extra Information
