About this item

  • INCLUDES: This flexible socket extension set includes one 1/4-inch drive (6-inch length) and one 3/8-inch drive (8-inch length) extension. These socket extensions are invaluable for jobs where you need extra reach or are working in tight spaces!
  • QUALITY: Made from high-strength, heat treated alloy steel. A durable black oxide coated flex spring shaft and chrome plated drive ends make these corrosion-resistant socket extensions suitable for industrial, mechanic or construction work. Plus, these extensions include spring-loaded detent ball that lock sockets in and prevent parts from slipping into machinery or engines. Our socket extensions meet and exceed ANSI/ASME standards.
  • FEATURES: These socket extensions add the extra length and flexibility you need to access hard-to reach nuts and bolts at awkward angles and are perfect for loosening or tightening fasteners in confined spaces. Our flexible socket extensions feature flex spring shafts that allow them to bend into multiple positions and snake around obstructions or cramped compartments, so you can apply torque from any angle to tackle jobs where a rigid extension won’t do the trick.
  • RELIABLE | EFFECTIVE | EFFICIENT: Users trust ARES to be quality tools that make an impact. You are backed by our Performance Assurance Limited Lifetime Warranty. If you have any issues with your ARES Flexible Socket Extension Set, simply contact customer service for troubleshooting help, parts, replacement, or refund.

These are good, have used three different ones on the last project. I do wish the 1/4 inch ones came with a 3 or 4 inch instead of the 10 inch one.

I recently tackled a repair on my riding mower, but ran into a snag. One of the bolts was in the most awkward spot imaginable - tucked deep in the engine bay with barely any room to maneuver. There was no way I could get a standard socket wrench on it.Faced with the prospect of further disassembly, which would have taken hours, I decided to take a gamble on a solution I'd seen on YouTube - the ARES 42072 Flexible Socket Extension Set.Let me tell you, these extensions were a lifesaver! The flexible shafts bent and contorted to reach the seemingly unreachable bolt. Despite my initial concern that they wouldn't be strong enough, they provided the perfect combination of flexibility and strength to loosen the bolt and complete the repair.The extensions themselves seem very well-made. The heat-treated alloy steel feels sturdy, and the chrome and black oxide finishes give them a professional look. Plus, for the price, they can't be beat!If you find yourself working in tight spaces or on projects with awkwardly placed fasteners, then the ARES 42072 Flexible Socket Extension Set is a game-changer. They saved me a ton of time and frustration on my mower repair, and I'm sure they'll come in handy for future projects as well. Highly recommend!

This product surprised me with how flexible it actually is... it made getting into very hard to access screws under the dash easier to remove and re-install. Works great! I did not have to apply very high torque to the fasteners though. Overall a great buy for what I needed, and will definitely help in future projects. Seems rugged enough not to need to buy again.

I bought these to change a valve head cover gasket to reach into some hard spots. While they made gradual bends to where I needed to get to (no crazy 90 degree bends), they could not loosen a single bolt and instead seem to twist and strain.I would imagine these are good for less mechanical applications, like if you are fixing some little crafts or household things but not a car.
