I got a 1/4 Snap-on wobble plus extension a while back before I knew any better. All it does is slide right down to the normal extension part after one or two turns. What a POS. I'll be replacing it with a standard wobble style ASAP.

Key is not to push the extension, if you apply pressure while turning, it will lock up.

And yes, I hate those too.

Yeah, I don't like them either. They are made to do two things but do neither one well. I have regular wobble, standard chrome and locking impact extensions.

If, and when used properly, there should not be a problem. I have used them for years with no problems. If you are putting too much down force onto the ratchet along with pushing on the extension then I can see where you are failing. Also I would add, that the best use is with a swivel head ratchet. At least it works that way for me.

I've added a washer at times to keep them in wobble mode they do ****!

Yup I've used the SOs & didn't like them either. So I went with sets of Matco wobble & standard extensions.

I have the same set in 1/4 and 3/8 and they work just fine for me...

I like them,too. I bought the BOGO deal with the 3/8 & 1/4 sets.
They work, I used them to remove brake calipers. Locked the socket to break the bolt, switched to wobble for my ratcket head to clear the UCA.
