I have impact swivel socket sets and was wondering if impact wobble extensions would be something additional to get?

I use my HF set all the time. If my electric impact needs an extension, and it's not a high torque situation, I grab the wobble.

Must have. Combine with astro pneumatic low profile impact scokets and you can get 1/2 drive impacts to a lot of fasteners. Mine are HF and a few sunex. HF are maybe 5-6 years old? Well abused and none broken yet. I like the HF sets because they're basically identical to the thickness of most cheap extensions anyways. So you can get the impacts and use them as regular hand drive wobble extensions too. Not as thin as the fancy chrome stuff, but will usually get the job done.

I've got the Sunex wobble extensions, they hold up decent. I have had a couple break, 3" in 1/2 & 3/8 drive, warranty was fairly painless. Both had a lot of use. I would recommend a couple spares in those sizes. Summit racing has singles available for a fair price. They will handle quite a bit of torque IME.


I use them a lot for wheel bearing with a low profile socket. Very handy. I tend to use them more then swivel sockets by far.

I fail to understand why more places dont offer them.

I have Sunex in 3/8 and 1/2 drive and they're definitely worth owning. I also have swivel impacts in 3/8 drive
