TITE-REACH Original 3/8” Drive Professional Extension Wrench, Impact Rated, Offset Ratchet Extender, Made for Tight Spaces

functional and very helpful tool

I have only used this tool a few times, but it works well and as advertised. I have a deep toolbox, but this reaches fasteners that all my bendy ratchets and wrenches could not otherwise reach. One point, you may see a gap between the case halves of the tool and think tightening the two allen screws holding them together would close it up. It will, but the tool seems to jam then. I believe the internal chain and gears rely on having a bit of room to move inside the case to operate properly. Use gloves when holding the tool during operation. The movement of the gears and chain alternately opens and closes the gap between the case halves and can pinch your skin (experience talking here). All and all a great tool!

This does work in tight spots. The head of the wrench(where your sockets attach) can be a bit large in some instances, but otherwise it has been useful. Do be aware that there is a substantial torque loss if using this in conjunction with an impact wrench. Still a fantastic tool to have in your toolbox.

This tool is very handy when you can’t fit your impact in the space provided.

Used an impact on this and it held up great! Very cool item and incredibly useful when you need it. Sturdy item with decent weight to it quality item.

I bought the other one that is plastic. I’ll keep it in the “apartment toolbox” that gets used sporadically and pretty lightly. This one is metal and will put up with more use so it stays in the main tool pile.

Just like most tools we all own, you never know you will need a specific tool until you NEED it! Recently took apart my dashboard for heater core work and could NOT get a bolt back in place because of the angle of the windshield. This allowed me to do it with ease!! Looking forward to using it again. NOTE: it is quite big!

It shows in the picture description that the “professional” 3/8” model is “impact rated” up to 400ft lbs. I put about 120ft lbs through it for 1 day using a worn 1/4” Milwaukee impact driver. The case cracked and the sprocket teeth are bent. There are metal shavings pouring out of it. It will work fine with hand tools but it’s clearly not impact rated in the slightest. Go for the Matco or Snap on offering if you want one that lasts and actually holds up to a basic impact driver.

Love it , really useful in a tight spot , saves a lot of time , skinned knuckles and swearing !

I’ve bought both the cheapest and then this unit. Major difference with this item is in both quality and ease of use. I’m no expert or trades person. Just your average DIY’er So first off, the quality is pretty noticeable with this item. The cheaper ratchet is almost laughable as with-in 2 - 3 uses the cheaper ratchet had to be adjusted and basically taken apart and reassembled. That turned out to be a job in it self! Lesson learned here, the cheaper you go with specialty equipment the more time you’re going to spend messing around with your specialty ratchet tool that you bought to better help speed up your projects. I’m so glad I bought the more expensive ratchet (seen attached pictures) as all the rusted manifold bolts were removed with a fight. This ratchet helped as advertised and unlike the cheaper version helped me do the job and handled rusted bolts without falling apart or stripping the bolts intended for removal. I’m so glade I bought this unit! Highly recommend this for both professional repair work and for the regular person who wants a great tool that will only have to be bought once!

Item as described

Overpriced but good quality? Time will tell how it holds up to the 400 ft pounds it is supposed to accept.

It's an amazing tool.
