Universal Wrench Extender

Simple yet powerful tool will be a great asset in the tool box.

Simply lock in your standard open or box end wrench into the jaws

to gain leverage on those hard to reach tight bolts or nuts.

Slim design will get into most restricted spaces and still allow you to swing your wrench.

Unlike locking two wrenches together you remove the risk of breaking your tools.

At the end of the handle there is a 1/2" square where you can attach a breaker bar or ratchet to the tool for the beyond tight bolts!

Provides extra torque to loosen rusted bolts, stuck fasteners or over-tightened nuts easily and safely.

Maximum leverage for hard-to-reach spaces.

WHITWORTH SOCKET SET

3/8"Drive, 6pt SAE Socket Sizes 1/8"-1/2"

High-quality 7-piece socket set from Ko-ken (KOKEN) a Japanese tool manufacturer known for precision and durability, especially in specialty sizes like Whitworth.

These are popular for working on vintage British machinery, motorcycles (e.g., Triumph, BSA, Norton), classic cars, or anything using Whitworth/BSF fasteners, where standard SAE or metric sockets might not fit as well. Koken tools are regarded as premium—comparable to Snap-on or better in some specialty lines—and these Whitworth sets are somewhat niche/hard to find, which is why they're sought after by enthusiasts.

Sockets are stamped with the size followed by "W" (for Whitworth), and often "BS" (indicating British Standard compatibility, as Whitworth tools align with older British specs). Note that in Whitworth sizing, the marked fraction refers to the thread diameter, not necessarily the across-flats (A/F) head size—e.g., a larger "W" size can match a bigger SAE equivalent in some cases.

Sizes Included: 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", and 1/2"
