One example of a tool/accessory manufacturers might sell more of, if only they explained to customers what it's for.

Was at HD yesterday picking up some supplies. They're all thick stainless steel thru the handles with striking type tops and with very sharp edges.

My teeny turner direct from Picquic was 5 bux.
Ah, ok. I would think a regular short extension and breaker bar with an angled joint could work as well to break something loose with a crowfoot around an obstruction. But I guess it could work out more convenient in some cases. It definitely gives me a chuckle reaction! If really needed you could make something to fit with a cheap extension and an acetylene torch.
It could also result in a case of natural selection at work when it spins off the socket !! It would be just my luck to off myself in some exotic manner like that.

If you've ever worked on forklifts you know you could use that at some point.
That’s what I got this one for…

Not sure if I still have this floating around in a box in the basement (50% chance or less), but I had one of those, ended at Reagan!

I'd buy both, because like Mrs. Potato Head said, "You never know!" LOL...
What's the make / model (and intended / best uses) for the second one?
Mike
That one is a fake AI image. I was just wondering how useless an extension could theoretically be and asked it to draw that based on the photo of the S shaped one I have
Nice! Where do you purchase these fine tools?Toptul,1/2 drive 12pt.

B-day gift. Says it cuts everything. I guess I will be cutting stuff up tomorrow.
I was at Lowe's last night, and of course had to buy a pair of these!
No, I haven’t tried to open the packaging yet. But, those of you who predict that it'll survive all but a bomb blast are probably right...
I mistakenly left my sunroof open last night, and it rained heavily this morning, but you'd never know that these were sitting (face-down) on the front seat the whole time...
Mike
Well, you (or AI) got me thinking! And I'm sure something's been designed in such a way as to need a tool like that...
Mike
Just picked this up Sunday on Facebook market place and I doubt it has ever been used.
I had the need to measure a 1000 amp load the other day so the shop bought a meter but I wanted one to keep on my truck.
For $100 I’ll buy this one and will attempt to expense it. This one is good to 2500 amps and also has logging capability.

I should probably post this one in @signcrafter thread for odd ball tools.
Wouldn't call it an oddball with as much fiber construction is going on right now. I have a Ripley/Miller version, use it mostly for ring cuts. I can't complain about any of the Jonard tools I do have. That one should serve you well.

Or if you wander into the middle of Ohio, I own lots of sharpening things.

Today I retired the internal snap ring pliers on the right, displaced by the 2 pairs of Knipex. The old one has been used on an estimated 2500-3000 of a particular snap ring used in a product assembly. New revisions to the part this season made it tricky to get the snap ring installed without scratching the part with the extra material outside the prongs. These lower profile ones sneak by with room to spare. The way the prongs are bent inward also makes the snap ring feel more secured from blasting out.

Local car parts store in Croatia..
These are the budget line from Sidchrome, Australia -Made in Japan.Bought em cause why not and curious on the quality/similarity to Sidchrome versions, got them for less than 20% of what they would sell for now and well, they are new 1982 -ish tools.
( Full disclosure - only posting this so I can find this thread again)
It was less than $10 shipped for me. It's nice little driver and has a funny name.
Another day and another parcel (or two) later
BF634, BF604, BF629 and B630. BF604 was on my list of useful body hammers to own.
Two missing SOEX wrenches from the set I got previously. And 4 XDHF series wrenches, missing the largest size. I'll get if I come across it cheaply. Now I only need some flare nut wrenches.
Two new to me ratchets. TL72 and FKF80. They were cheap.
3/8" SAE shallow chrome set.
And some cheap Vise grips; 5 really good condition 6Rs, 10 crusty 11Rs and 1 crusty 18R.

How much do Snap On socks cost? Are they cotton or do they have some modern fancyfibers in them, too?
Just thought you should know:
The $12 price is after the SnapOn installment loan is paid off.
It's been a while! Time for another Knipex!
10" Cobolts, $59.90 Amazon US before tax. Best I can tell, comfort grips are not available in this size. I have the 8 inchers with comfort grips. I shopped hard and this was the best I could do. German Amazon had an intriguing price but after shipping came ... another fee of some kind... that put it a tiny bit above this price.

Do let us know how much difference there is, e.g. do the narrower grips and extra length cancel each other out in terms of what can be done comfortably with one hand.
Spec capacities are 5.2/5.6mm (+8%) medium-hard, 4mm (equal) hard, 3.6/3.8mm (+6%) piano.

Amazon had a price drop, so I grabbed the new Knipex ES cobras and the last piece of the Astro Pneumatic nano sockets that I was missing
The Cobra's don't really seem any thinner, but I can always use a pair. I knew that this nano socket set didn't come on a rail (all of the other nanos were sold on a rail), but I didn't really see a good way to organize them in my toolbox. I fired up Fusion and made this holder. It works - we'll see how I like it over time, but it allows the rather shallow drawer I keep them in to open easily.
They actually sit at an angle, so it is easy to see the sizes.
