Socket Extenders Appraisal

Impact Socket Extension and Adapter Set

This item is a set of impact extension bars and adapters, specifically designed for use with impact wrenches. The set is housed in a bright blue, molded plastic case with dedicated compartments for each piece, ensuring organization and protection. Included are three extension bars of varying lengths, appearing to be 7-inch, 9-inch, and possibly 12-inch, based on the visible labels '7" EXTENSION BAR' and '9" EXTENSION BAR'. These bars have a dark, possibly black oxide or phosphate finish, indicating their robust construction for high-torque applications. Each extension bar features both male and female square drives, typical for connecting sockets and impact tools. Additionally, there are three adapters, which appear to facilitate changes in drive size (e.g., converting a 1/2" drive to 3/8" or 1/4"). One adapter clearly shows '1/2"' marking, suggesting these are common drive sizes. The tools exhibit some signs of use, including minor scuffs and marks on their surfaces, consistent with a working tool set. There are no obvious signs of major damage like cracks or heavy corrosion, suggesting they are in good usable condition. The case itself shows some wear, but remains functional with visible hinges and latches, although they are not fully clear in the image. The overall construction implies a professional-grade set, likely made from heat-treated alloy steel for durability. No specific maker's marks are discernible on the tools or case in the provided image. The style of the tools suggests a modern manufacturing period, likely within the last few decades, as impact-rated tools have become more prevalent.
