Olsa Tools wrench extender

[1982fxr]

Always doubled up with another wrench. This seems much better. Has this type of tool been out for a long time? I'd never seen one.

They've been out a while, at least 5 years. There was a thread about them not to long ago...

I still just use another wrench.

you would think that they'd actually show a full picture of the effing product they're trying to sell with some basics like dimensions. I guess that's so 20th century and we now need to watch videos. Nope.

I thought the same thing. Who let the marketing intern design the ad?

I've seen them for awhile. Have long thought of making one but it would have to be bulkier to get the same strength, not that that's a bad thing in this case

At least 15 plus years
i saw them at sema when they were fairly new to the market.

i have seen lots of them made as a weld up at home verses buying one

While Capri isn't quite as detailed as Tekton is, they set the standard IMO, they're well ahead of Olsa in their ad for a wrench extender. OMG, a full picture of it and the length!

Interesting that a wrench manufacturer is offering these as they encourage abuse of the tool. Perhaps they don't quite understand the useage as they illustrate it deployed to use the open end of the demonstration wrench, really asking for it.
I wonder how they'll handle warranty for their wrenches if used with one of these.

If you really want leverage, Mueller Kueps and other companies sell wrench extenders, of various sizes, with a square drive at the end to use a 1/2" ratchet for even more leverage.

I'd imagine it would be like any other warranty claim with Tekton or Capri. You take a picture of the wrench, send it to them, and they send you a new one. Its pretty painless

I bought the cheapest one I could find direct from Asia for around $12 shipped to my door. Works well. No need to fund middle men when buying a cheater.

This may have been true in the past, but now with the de minimis exemption removed, and tariffs, not sure how this would work.

^ Try Temu or Amazon. Their markup isn’t as bad as the rebranded distributers mentioned here.

We're working on it

Did they change the picture? I might prefer more than one picture, but the existing picture is a nice close-up of how you hook it and the videos show decent use, so check those, worth it, well dive... But yeah some better far shots would be nice.

A lot shinier than my Mueller Kueps, don't know if that is good or bad.

I have had pretty good luck with olsa tools products.

Edit to add... Looks like more were added than last time I looked. A bit confused
