Product Description
Questions & Answers
The Dukeman extensions work with any 3/8" drive ratchet. Being impact rated means they can be used with an impact wrench, so technically they are better than the standard 3/8" drive extensions, however they are more likely to rust because they come a little oily.
Made in Taiwan, these impact extensions will increase your impact.
These extensions are not included with any case.
I find that when I use my Milwaukee M18 fuel 3/8" drive cordless impact, I lose quite a bit of torque with just one extension. Ratchets of any type could be used to stack them.

It's important to me to be clear on this point. Although I like the extensions, they do not have a brand. They do come with a lifetime warranty, but it is important to keep in mind where they came My personal experience when it comes to impact tools with Tekton convinced me to purchase them nonetheless. have never been happier with them than with the use of their products. However, these have not broken yet, even after I have broken a few generic ones that I ended up turning into punches. It is possible to use them on a 1/2 drive with an adapter to 3/8 drive. While that sounds nice, I have a major problem with the brand. In the event this product fails, there is no apparent way to determine who to reach out to. Considering the price I paid for these and the quality I've experienced with Tekton, I purchased them anyway and am happy with them. The third star is based on the fact that the user needs to know there is no way to associate these tools back to Tekton for warranty service if it is Moreover, fit and function are essential in performance The product overall received a rating of five out of five stars. 3/5
*EDIT 3/5 Having changed my review from 3 stars to 4 stars, it is now 4 The product has not caused me any problems after I have been using it for a longer period of time. There is an argument to be made with regard to the lack of branding, but it does not appear that warranty is In light of the price to quality ratio, even if one breaks and the warranty isn't applied, just getting a new one keeps you within a much better value range.
Several of my friends and family members ask me to do a few repairs on their cars each month to A major advantage of impact tools is that they facilitate and speed up the process. This is a great pair to go with a new 3/8" air ratchet that I just purchased from Ingersoll Rand. These make a secure connection. Sometimes, with extensions, you don't get the same feeling and it feels wobbly when the socket is connected through one. *If my review helped you in any way, please hit "helpful" to let me know. * I have not noticed any problems with this product, so I would definitely recommend it. It is so nice to hear from you!.
I am impressed that these tools are as good as they get at a budget price. I would recommend them as an option to a family DIY guy like me. Good alternative to the Craftsman tools of the past and present. Sears got what they deserved for selling such subpar tools they are no longer in Snap is definitely better than TEKTON but isn't as good as It would make no difference to me if it were Windows Tools or Mac Tools. Manufacturers produced products for major American chains as part of their disposable warranty programs). We suggest you stop shopping at Walmort, Luwez, and Home Depot. Put some TEKTON on and see for yourself. I love them so much.
A set of spark plugs I purchased for my son is necessary to replace the spark plugs in his automobile. The quality of workmanship and durability were not an issue for him. Rather than purchasing a second set, I decided to keep one on hand at home and permit him to keep the other In this way, if he needs to make a quick repair, he will have some basic tools in his car. Another set of kids' driving glasses will be purchased when the next kid starts driving.
This price can't be beat for the quality. Originally I used just 1 length of Craftsman extension bars, that has always worked for me 95% of the time. What I have discovered is that it becomes extremely frustrating when that 5% doesn't work. A 3" extension is useful when working on crowfoot wrenches or other applications that require a more extended tool. When you can't fit 2 bars, but a single bar is not enough, the 8" is the best choice. Though the black oxide finish is not quite as sleek as chrome, the thicker material is better suited for high impact and torque In addition, the price point is outstanding. No other tool brands can compete with it, at least not at the same quality level. As a whole A perfect 5 out of 5.
Having used these impact extensions for the past few weeks, it would appear that while technically these extensions would work in some cases, the torque that these extensions lose is quite significant. My impact wrench is now contacting the socket, so I was almost certain that there would be some loss, but my gun still couldn't get a lugnut torqued to 90 ft-lbs into the socket. A pair of impact wrenches is in my garage. There's one that tops out at 150ftlbs with a 3/8th drive and another that tops out at 300ftlbs with a 1/2 drive. A 3/8th gun with socket only removed it. A 3/8th gun with a socket and an extension did not function. Using three 8mm guns with a 1/2in adapter and deep socket I was able to remove it. An adapter and extension on a 1/2in gun helped to keep it in place. With a 1/2 in as well as a 3/8th adapter and socket, it successfully came My test only included the 3in extension. I'm sure the results could be worse with other extensions.
A set I got for the first time. The warranty on Tekton tools is very good, which is why I own a lot of them. I noticed that the detent ball was missing immediately upon opening the packaging of the first set I received. I lost the use of one of my extensions as a result. A new one was sent to me by Dave (Tekton warranty department). I have yet to break down under daily usage and the impacts still appear to be holding. Although I have bought quite a bit of Tekton tools, I sometimes feel the quality control is not as good as it could be (which is why I took a star off).
Are you in need of an impact wrench extension? I've had these for over a year, and they are still in good shape. My job as a weekend mechanic exposes me to these conditions occasionally, and they are holding up just fine. In terms of torque loss, each extension does lose some on impacts, but overall the fasteners are still able to take plenty of force.
