Extension bar KS Tools 911.1423 Chrome vanadium steel 30 g

The KS Tools extension bar 911.1423 is a compact tool accessory crafted from chrome vanadium steel and designed to extend a hand tool's effective reach. Weighing approximately 30 g, this extension bar provides a straightforward solution for accessing recessed fasteners and confined work areas. Its simple cylindrical design ensures compatibility with common drive tools and sockets intended for extension use.

Advantages

Made from chrome vanadium steel, the extension bar offers high material strength and wear resistance suitable for frequent workshop use. Its low weight and compact length make it easy to handle and store without adding significant bulk to a tool kit. The precision-machined ends ensure a secure fit with sockets and drive tools, reducing play and improving torque transfer during tightening and loosening tasks.

Key specifications

• Material: chrome vanadium steel.
• Weight: approximately 30 g.
• Designed function: drive tool extension for accessing recessed fasteners.
• Compatibility: intended for standard drive sockets and ratchets of matching drive size.
• Finish: machined/chrome plated surface for corrosion resistance and smooth engagement.

How to use

Fit the extension bar between the drive tool (such as a ratchet or breaker bar) and the socket so that both connections seat fully. Ensure the drive size of the extension bar matches the drive size of your tools. Apply torque through the drive tool while keeping alignment with the fastener; avoid applying side loads that could stress the connection. After use, wipe clean and store in a tool tray or case to prevent dirt buildup and corrosion.

Recommendations

The extension bar is intended for manual drive applications; do not subject it to impact tools or power tools unless specified by the tool manufacturer. Regularly inspect the connection ends for wear or deformation and replace the extension if any damage is evident.
