1" Drive 6-Inch Extension
This Westward 45J262 socket extension adds 6 inches of reach to a 1" drive ratchet or breaker bar. The alloy-steel body with chrome finish resists corrosion in workshop environments. It suits mechanics and industrial technicians who need deeper access to large fasteners.
Standard Hand-Tool Limits
The extension is not impact-rated and carries no insulation, so it must not be used with powered impact wrenches or on live electrical circuits. ASME compliance covers dimensional tolerances for hand-operation only. Exceeding manual torque loads risks deformation or sudden failure.
Compatibility Check Points
Verify that every socket, ratchet and adapter in the chain uses a 1" square drive before ordering. Confirm the 6-inch length clears surrounding obstacles without forcing the tool at an angle. Ensure the work is limited to hand-applied torque on de-energised hardware.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 6-inch length or a different extension?
The 6-inch overall length extends a 1-inch drive wrench for deep or confined fasteners; select a longer or shorter piece only if your reach requirement differs.
What does the 1-inch drive size mean when I fit it to my ratchet?
Both input and output are 1-inch square drives, so the extension couples directly to any 1-inch drive ratchet and accepts any 1-inch drive socket without adapters.
Is the chrome-finished alloy steel extension rated for impact use?
No — the supplier description states it is not impact-rated and is intended for regular hand-tool use rather than high-impact applications.
