Wobble-Plus Extensions ****

[Ed_EOD]

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.

Yeah I've heard that, and it's kept me away from them.

havent had any problems with mine...

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.

Been using mine for years with no frustrations......but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong....

 

[Sh1thead]

Mine work fine ...but they might be defective

 

[Camtwo69]

I would send them back to snap on they are defects..................

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.
