This review is from: TEKTON 1600 3/8-Inch Drive Extension Bar Set, 3-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)

If you are looking for light torque use, that is cheap, these extensions will do the job.
Tekton did a good job of addressing this market segment of people that are looking for cheap extension bars for light use. For that I give this tool 3 stars.
However, if you apply too much force, these will bend and break.
If you are looking for something heavy duty, I would look somewhere else.

Hi Josh! Thank you for your review. For light use, the TEKTON 1600 3/8-Inch Drive Extension Bar Set, 3-Piece is a great set. If you need to do heavier duty work, then check out the TEKTON 1660 Combination Wobble Extension Bar Set, 9-Piece. This set is made of stronger material and will hold up to more force. If you have any problems or questions with any of our tools, please email us at [e-mail] or call 888-648-8665. Thanks and I hope this helps you out!

They were delivered quickly and work good for light duty. However, if you need to loosen something with more torque I would choose something different. They broke on me when loosening higher torque nuts.

The 3" extension broke the first time I used it. I've never experienced anything like this with other Tekton products I've purchased. I felt pretty foolish after I broke it and then realized that this same thing happened to other people. I'll be sure to read the reviews next time.
