King Tony 2221-03 hand tool shaft/handle/adapter

King Tony 2221-03 hand tool shaft/handle/adapter is a compact extension bar designed to extend reach and improve access when working with sockets and ratchets. Manufactured from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished with polished chrome plating, this adapter combines a slim profile with durability. Weighing 37 g, it is compatible with tools that meet the same drive and standard dimensions and conforms to DIN 3122.

Advantages

The chrome vanadium construction provides enhanced strength and wear resistance while the polished, chrome-plated finish reduces corrosion and simplifies cleaning. Its compact weight and balanced dimensions make it easy to handle and store. The adapter's conformity to DIN 3122 ensures consistent fit and reliable connection with corresponding sockets and drive tools.

Suitable for

• Extending reach for socket wrenches and ratchets in tight spaces
• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks requiring access to recessed fasteners
• General mechanical and assembly work where added length is needed

Key specifications

• Material: chrome vanadium alloy steel
• Finish: polished, chrome plated
• Type: extension bar / adapter
• Standard: DIN 3122
• Weight: 37 g
• Durability rating: designed for repeated impacts (specified hits: 2040)

How to use

Attach the adapter between the drive tool (ratchet or breaker bar) and the socket by aligning the square drives and pushing until the locking detent engages. Use the adapter to reach fasteners located deeper or in recessed positions while keeping standard safety practices: select the correct socket size, ensure secure engagement, and avoid excessive side loading. After use, wipe the adapter clean and store it in a tool tray or holder to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the extension bar with compatible drive sizes and avoid applying torque beyond the capacity of the connected socket or drive tool. For repetitive heavy impacts, inspect the adapter regularly for wear or deformation. Store in a dry environment to preserve the chrome finish.
