Impact Extensions and Adapters for Cordless use

[lowbucktruck]

Do you have a favorite, reliable brand for impact-rated extensions and adapters? For use with a cordless 20v impact driver. I'm looking for 3/8 and 1/2 drive accessories.

Usually I go with Dewalt, but I've noticed other brands popping up on Amazon lately... Neiko, Ares, and the like.

What's your favorite go-to extension to use with your cordless impact driver when you need to use it for nut-driving?

I have the Warrior branded ones from HF. I stocked up when they were on coupon for like $1.50 for a 3 pack of 1/4-3/8-1/2.

Even though it's not an impact wrench, my Makita 20V 1/4 impact driver can zoom lugs off once I break them loose with the 25 inch breaker bar also from Hazard Fraught.

Are torque limiting 8" long (1/2" drive) impact extensions accurate?

ABN and ARES make these extensions that are suppose to limit the tightening torque to 80 ft/lb. I want to tighten my lug nuts to 80 ft/lb. If I attach this extension to my Milwaukee 1/2" cordless impact wrench will my impact wrench stop at 80 ft/lb?

SK is my favorite for impact extensions and adapters they are very durable and USA made and guaranteed for life.

I dont much care if it works. A new 1/2 long tempted me the other day but I made it this far without it,,, ha

That is the most un-garage-journal statement I have ever read on this forum. What is wrong with you!?! Get it together!!!

I already had a fistful, I really try to stick with what I need anymore. I did load up with screwdrivers last week and a couple hammers, some pliers and all of a sudden the razor knives have left the scene.

Napa/Carlyle has some great deals on these in Real Deals recently. Not sure this quarter but might want to check it out.

It will not work reliably enough to trust, best way is to hand torque after.

I have 2 or 3 sets of the no-name $3 HF adapter sets. They go missing as often as 10mm sockets, so I have multiples. The first one I bought years ago twisted in a spiral. Haven't broken any of the others yet, but my impact driver is only 120 ft-lbs.

I like snap-on, SK, and Sunnex.
I have harbor freight 1/2 extensions that flex quite a bit with my 1/2 inch Makita
I would also check out grey pneumatic.
