If you are planning to use these tools above 100 lb-ft of torque then your are on your own. I used them to remove a bolt under 138 lb-ft and the shafts not only bent but also shredded within the socket, leaving the extension bar and socket as one piece. Even though these are 1/2 inch drive they do not even come close to heavy duty. I am returning these extension bars and will leave further comment pending return experience.

twisted off the end that goes into the socket on 2 out of the 3 bars. 3rd bar would do the same for sure, went and got a smaller (shorter) 3 bar set, same thing happened. tring 3/4 inch now to get that crank shaft bolt off. this was a waste of good money again.

Unfortunately, this product cannot withstand high torque application. I was trying to remove crankshaft pulley bolt to replace
timing belt, but end where socket goes in got twisted. Seems like this extension wasn't designed to handle
torque more than 150 ft/lbs. If you need long and heavy duty long extension, buy it from other brand. Connecting 3 short
air impact extensions gave me better result than this extension.

I own a Neiko breaker bar and it works great BUT these extensions are a different story!! I was trying to use these to take off a crankshaft pulley bolt and Broke two of the extensions like it was nothing. I am Very Disappointed with the product and its been just over 30 days so its not worth my time to fight over $5 after i pay for the shipping cost. I wish I would of read deeper into the reviews here and also wish Amazon would not Recommend these with the high torque Neiko bar since these extension are not in the same category! I would guess these extension bars broke around 800 ft/lbs. Do not waste your time with these even on semi-high torque applications!! If you want to loosen something finger tight with these you might be alright.

I expected these to be a great addition to my tools collection. Long extension bars in 1/2" drive can be useful in many applications. I tried to use them to take off a crankshaft pulley bolt on my Honda. The first one snapped immediately. I looked at the surface and it looked like there was a bubble inside steel. Ok, perhaps it was defective. I tried another one. It was much stronger, and I thought I started to get that pesky bolt off, but the second extension bar broke. Just for the fun, I tried the third one, and sure enough it broke too. I am not super strong and did not apply too much force. Still needed to get that bolt off: went to a store, bought two 10" extension bars for impact guns, put them together for a nice 20" extension bar and got my bolt off, no problem. Sent the broken bars back to Amazon and got my money back. Don't buy these. Get impact extension bars instead, they are well worth the extra money.

I have only used the 30" and it broke in the socket with very little force the first time I used it.

We have been searching for extension bars for awhile now. Never any luck in coming up with extension bars long enough for what we needed. This was just the ticket. And arrived very promptly as well making it an added bonus!!

appear to be a good quality extension for thosehard to get to jobs. The order was received promptly and in good condition.

FAst shipper but like others reviews the item was boxed about as poor as Ive ever seen. Item fell out of box at post office. Looked like a 10 year old taped it and boxed it. Same for other product I bought to go along with these extensions.

They are what they are. Merchandise was as described, delivery was prompt. What more could you ask for?
