Frequently Asked Questions
How does this torque limiting extension set prevent over-tightening?
Each extension uses internal spring steel mechanisms that automatically stop rotating when the preset torque value is reached, preventing damage from excessive torque application. The flexible spring steel construction allows the extension to flex and disengage once the target torque is achieved, protecting both fasteners and threaded components from damage caused by over-torquing during installation or assembly operations.
What impact drivers are compatible with these extensions?
These extensions work with any 1/2 inch drive impact wrench including Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, and pneumatic tools. The universal square drive design ensures compatibility with both cordless electric and air-powered impact wrenches commonly used in automotive shops, construction sites, and industrial maintenance facilities for professional and DIY applications requiring precise torque control.
How does this compare to using a torque wrench?
While torque wrenches provide precise measurement and require manual monitoring with audible click feedback, these extensions offer convenience for repetitive tasks by automatically stopping at preset values without user intervention. The extensions provide hands-free torque control for faster production work, making them ideal for assembly lines and high-volume operations where consistent torque is needed across multiple fasteners.
