Looking for extensions with knurling

[Coach James]

Does anyone know of an extension with knurling on the male end?

I found a couple Ampro sets on Amazon, but don't know if the pictures are accurate.

No, as SK is at the female end and SO is in the middle.

No but, MAC has the knurling where you need it most, around the female square drive end.

I love the knurling on Mac extentions ( I know it's at the wrong end). I wish the knurled their wobble extensions like that

Well I know they are cheap Chinese product but I have a few performax ones from menards. They are knurled on both ends.

Never seen it at the bottom. Put some hockey tape on there and you got a workable solution. People on here use hockey tape on their ratchets, screwdrivers, and assorted other metal stuff, right?

Thought kobalt did. Fraid not.

How about these Armstrong extensions. Not exactly what you wanted, but they do have something going on at the end w ith the lock collar.

You could just get a short 2" knurled extension and add it to the end of a longer one too.

My boss back in the day had a set of Snap-on extenstions with knurling on the ratchet end and smaller knurling on the square drive end.

I asked him where he got them and I think he said he had a machinist knurl them for him for 20 bucks.

Knurling was a life saver a few times when I borrowed them. Ive actually been thinking of having a machinist knurl my Cornwell extensions.

I love my snap on extensions. I like where they placed the knurls , not sure I would want it at the bottom (male side)

How about shrink wrap? I put it on my screwdriver shanks for grip. You could even put some flex-seal on top of the s/w.

I have Mac, Snap On and Armstrong knurled extensions and prefer the Mac the most. The female end on the Mac makes a huge difference.

Very handy when removing small screws holding wheel well liner for instance...when there is no clearance for the socket wrench against the liner.

I have the Koken 3/8 wobble-fix set, they're ****** brilliant!

 

[franzdom]

I am so tempted to buy the 3/8" regular Koken and sell my SO.
Is Frank's Tools the best place to get them?

It would be tough to knurl already made extensions because they are, I'm guessing, heat treated. Not to say it couldn't be done. Also, the chrome would probably chip off if it was knurled over it.

- Do you have a link for these Ampro extensions on Amazon?

- Also, here's a thread that shows good pics of something that may fit the bill. I have absolutely no experience with these.

I like the knurling on the Mac extensions as well. I feel that they put it I. The best location. I wish my extensions had knurling like that.
