Ratchet Extension. I had no idea this existed

I had no idea.

Such a simple tool every tool box needs one!

Last weekend I skinned up my knuckles and tweaked a few fins on my radiator removing my fan to test fit my shroud.

I will be needing to do a few more test fits so I decided to look into an electric ratchet.

I found one that was long and thin but 120.00.

Then I stumbled on this:




3/8" drive

put a ratchet on one end and a socket on the other and turn the ratchet in the comfort of your living room!

Another ad showed the guts...

A sprocket at both ends to drive the 3/8" square holes and a bicycle chain to connect the two.

The cutaway one had a plastic housing. Not sure about this one and ut was only 9 inches long this one is 13" IIRC

I don't need it to torque the bolts just to loosen them the inch or so to get the fan and spacer off.

This one was in the 40.00 range on Amazon.


The smaller plastic one was about 17.00

Many sellers had what looked like the same ones for prices that were all over the place.



I'll report back on the outcome.
