Socket Extension 1/4" 150 mm Proxxon PR23705

The Proxxon Socket Extension 1/4" 150 mm (PR23705) is a straight socket extension designed to increase reach when working with 1/4" (6.35 mm) drive sockets. Constructed for compatibility with standard 1/4" ratchets and drivers, this 150 mm extension allows access to recessed, narrow, or hard-to-reach fasteners in mechanical, automotive and general DIY applications. The tool is intended to provide a reliable connection between the drive tool and the socket while maintaining torque transfer and alignment.

Advantages

This 1/4" 150 mm socket extension offers extended reach without compromising fit to standard 1/4" tools. It provides stable socket engagement and consistent torque transmission for small- to medium-sized fasteners. The straight profile simplifies insertion into confined spaces and the length reduces the need to disassemble surrounding components to reach fasteners. Compatibility with common 1/4" ratchets and drivers ensures wide applicability across workshop and home toolkits.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed bolts and nuts in engines and machinery
• Working in tight spaces where a standard socket cannot reach
• General automotive maintenance, small engine repair, and household DIY projects
• Assembly and disassembly tasks that require additional reach with a 1/4" drive

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" (6.35 mm)
• Length: 150 mm
• Profile: straight socket extension
• Compatibility: fits standard 1/4" ratchets and drivers
• Primary use: extending reach to access recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners

How to use

Attach the socket extension to the square drive of a compatible 1/4" ratchet or driver until it clicks or seats securely. Fit the appropriate 1/4" socket onto the extension and place the socket over the fastener. Apply steady, controlled torque using the ratchet or driver while ensuring the extension remains aligned to avoid slipping. After use, detach the socket from the extension and store the extension in the tool chest to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket extension only with sockets and tools rated for 1/4" drives. Avoid applying excessive impact or high torque beyond the rating of the extension and connected tools. Inspect the extension for wear or damage before each use and replace if any deformation or excessive wear is present.
