I just saw this picture on the Genius Tools facebook page and I was wondering if anyone knew what it is used for? I mean it looks like an insanely large socket extension but I cant think of any reason anyone would use it!!

2", maybe 2 1/2" drive? Even at those big drive sizes, you still need to clear obstructions. Stuff that big is used on massive equipment, ships, oil rigs, and other things of that nature.

Epstein's in KC has sockets that size. I thought it was a trash can, until I saw the 12 point edge in it.
