Anyone know other names for this thing?

It's a pass thru socket wrench drive extension for socket wrenches. Kind of found it looking for alternatives to the new m12 pass thru wrench. The one on the bottom would be nice to have except my pass thru socket are 19mm drive and not spline drive.

No but it looks inner resting!

Looks like it works with 6-lobe pass-thrus like Craftsman, GearWrench, Crescent, Sata, and Husky.

Damn you OP! I honestly thought I was done ever buying anything passthru again since I’ve got a few different sets covered.

And now you table this

By spec it'd work well with any of my Milwaukee cordless ratchets but my Dewalts might break it.

Consumer Tools Co. see also Elton Industries /

Don't make any judgment calls about the product line based on any previous experiences with the company's products.
I've spoken with the owner on the phone a couple times. The company has gone through some radical changes over the years since he acquired it from the original owner.
He's wanting to provide "problem solver" stuff (along the same lines as a Thexton or Assenmacher) yet try to remain competitive in the market, which is why he's farmed out most of his production to Taiwan or (in a couple instances) the PRC.
I don't know anything about that particular model - I'll only offer "pay attention to these guys, they might have something that will solve a problem."

Do you mean, Interesting?

Yes I have a habit of deliberately using the phonetically similar but entirely incorrect word or phrase as a way to amuse myself and passive-aggressively troll and bait people to correct it. I think it's a habit I picked up from another forum

"land blasted" is a favorite on the other forum as I recall. LOL - it's just goofiness really, making sure not to take myself too seriously.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

Reading this gave me a stroke.

Looks like a beneficial tool for its intended use.

looks fairly neat doesn't it? I can't find any clones of it, as I was hoping it was a copy of a better made version, so looks like this comp must have some sort of patent. Their "squeeze" wrench seems neat too and on sale for the older version.

Ya it does look handy. And I know it’ll get more dust then use but on a rare occasion it’ll be just the right tool.

Squeeze wrench?!, oh f me to tears there’s more??!!!


So you made me look. That’s something I/we can use. I build jails and there’s one assembly in a slider door operator that has a couple captured bolts in a **** place to get at. This would kill it for installing and servicing that mechanism.

I guess I owe ya a thanks since it’s not my wallet having to pay for it
