+ | 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. \\ | ||
