+Socket wrench extensions and adapters come in many sizes and aren't expensive. \\
+Extensions can be doubled up for extra length in tight places. Add as many as you need. Good to stock up on. \\
+Socket adapters allow you to use different drive wrenches on one socket. \\
+===== Socket Adapters =====
+Extensions are essential for changing lengths from the nut/bolt to the wrench. \\
+Drive adapters allow you to use the same wrench with sockets made for different drive sizes. \\
+You can buy adapters that accept screwdriver bits to allow you to remove/install/torque Phillips, Allen, Posidrive or other screw heads. \\
+These are also helpful sometimes in giving more torque to remove stubborn screws. \\
