some times that wrench is to long to fit or one needs to get at it in a better angle. so you cut and weld on your tools to make them faster jobs or not to be turning the same bolt for an hour in a tight spot. so post up some pics of custom tools and we can rate them on a scale of 1-10 10 being holy cow I got to make one of those and a 1 being a tool you could buy at the store. have fun making tools

post pics.

step 2.

cut to length need !!!!!!

step 3.

insert one shaft into the other. or put the male end inside the female end Shocked

step 4.

easy one put on your socket and stick your rachet on the other end.

completed.

now you have an adjustable 3/8 square tube drive shaft hahahaha
for your rachet. I made mine about 11" it works great. that gives you also a travle of about 10" sideing in and out. tools of the monkey's 216914
