Offset Extension Wrench Set(4 Colors),15.4" Offset Extension Wrench with 1/4",3/8",1/2" Square Drive Adapters and 1/4" Socket.

These are versatile for getting into tight spaces. The extension wrenches will allow me to perform maintenance that previously could not be done in tight spaces. These tools are well made and are a good value.

This offset extender wrench is perfect for removing bolts in tight spots - either because the bolts are too deep to be reached by a normal socket wrench, or because the clearance is too narrow to adequately fit a normal socket wrench to be able to loosen the bolts. I had a tight area that required an extender wrench and this extender proved its worth in helping to remove the bolt. Initially, I thought it would be difficult and awkward to hold the extender wrench while turning the socket wrench, but it really wasn't. I found a few tricks while loosening and tightening the bolt. I found for those really tight bolts, if you position the socket wrench handle close to the length of the extender, the combination of pushing and a tight grip will help loosen the bolt (or help you tighten a loose bolt). The offset extender wrench is wrapped in some sort of plastic. The wrap is smooth but not slippery. I felt I was able to have a firm grip over the length of the wrap. IThe bright yellow wrap was useful in showing itself when it moved in the confined spots. In a pinch, you could use offset extender wrench as a breaker bar. Hold the socket wrench handle along the length of the extender and turn the extender and socket wrench together. The extender length of 15.4" would give you that added power to help loosen bolts. I can hear the chain rattle when I shake the offset extender wrench. If somehow this noise could be dampened, it would make this offset extender wrench feel less cheap. Otherwise, get this tool to complete your wrench socket set.

Product looks ok but did not come with a case as shown in pictures.

I like the idea behind this tool but in my opinion, it's much too big for it's torque ratings. There is a chain drive inside. You can't see it, but it "sounds" very thin when you shake it around a bit, I would not suggest trying to push it's limits. This is the kind of tool that would be good to help get out hard to reach nuts and bolts as long as you have already got them loosened. Anything that this big extension would be able to reach would certainly be beyond the advertised maximum torque. Crack the bolt or nut first, then use this tool with a socket wrench or drill (slow NON impact) to back it off with (hopefully) less knuckle scraping. Same with threading a nut or bolt back on, start it off, use the tool to snug it up and then use another tool to tighten or torque to specs. At this wrench's torque rating, I think that if this extension were smaller, it would of actually ended up being a little more useful.

I've only used this a couple of times but it's one of those tools that when you need it, your glass you have it. As a15 inch extension it's small enough for the type of spaces where you would need this sort of implement. If you are forced to using this type of tool, you'll generally be working slow and in tight spaces. The rubberized coating helps with grip as you are limited in being so confined. Good to have when you need it.
