Extension Bar 3/8" 200 mm Proxxon PR23558

Proxxon 3/8" 200 mm extension bar PR23558 is a straight extension designed to increase reach when working with 3/8-inch drive ratchets and compatible sockets. The bar provides an additional 200 mm length to access recessed fasteners or bolts located in narrow or obstructed spaces. It is intended as an accessory for general repair, maintenance and assembly tasks where extended reach improves access and leverage.

Advantages

The extension bar offers a precise fit for standard 3/8" drive sockets and ratchets, ensuring secure connection and reliable torque transfer. Its 200 mm length delivers improved access to deep or hard-to-reach fasteners without requiring disassembly of surrounding components. The straightforward, solid design reduces wobble and minimizes play between socket and driver for smoother operation.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing where recessed bolts need access
• Machinery and equipment maintenance in confined areas
• Assembly and disassembly tasks on industrial or workshop projects
• Situations requiring temporary extension of socket reach for fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/8 inch
• Length: 200 mm
• Compatibility: standard 3/8" sockets and ratchets
• Design: straight extension bar for increased reach

How to use

Attach the extension bar to the drive end of a compatible 3/8" ratchet or torque wrench until it clicks or seats firmly. Fit the appropriate 3/8" socket onto the extension's female end, then position the socket over the fastener. Apply torque gradually while maintaining alignment to avoid slipping. Remove the extension by pulling the socket off and detaching the bar from the drive when work is complete.

Usage recommendations

Use the extension bar with sockets and ratchets rated for the intended torque; avoid applying excessive impact or torque beyond the tool ratings. Keep the connection points clean and free of debris to ensure a secure fit. Store the bar in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect periodically for signs of wear or damage before use.
