Can you get locking flexible spinner handles?

[tommydog35]

Does anyone know if you can get locking flexible spinner handles like in the picture below? I think a locking variety would be very useful, as I often use mine in very tight / impossible places that would cause a real problem if the socket were to fall off the end.

I haven't seen one. You could permanently fix a short locking extension on the end of the one in the photo. But then it wouldn't be flexible for the length of the extension.

I can’t think of one, but you can get a “locking adaptor” that would fit onto your existing spinner handle and convert it!

I use electrical tape as a retainer in those kinds of situations

you can buy them in popular sizes as in 6 7 8 10 mm etc they were sold for hose clamp nut drivers but i use them for all kinds of stuff

That's no good as I use mine with Koken nut grip sockets, to hold the fastender in place. I like everything secure, so nothing comes loose and drops in an awkward place!

Yes I have seen these (like the photo below) and have found a few options below in various sizes. I just wish somebody made a locking flexible spinner handle, instead of having to buy extra adaptors etc.

Not sure if anyone else makes them?

Not really what you are asking for but if you happen to use 6,7,8mm then you could use a flexible hose clamp driver.

The closest would be this wera locking flex driver, with a set of nut driver bits.
