Locking Extension Set

[spasm3]

Whats a good locking extension set? Want a good set, not necessarily $300 good. I see some that have small buttons, and some with collars. Do the collars interfere with use ?

Thanks.

The Proto ones have worked well for me.

They can get in the way sometimes yes.

I got Craftsman ones a long time a go that I really like. I think this is the same one.

Curiously, the 1/4" drive Stahlwille extension is available at Amazon in 13" and 14" lengths, with the 13" version costing an additional $1.32 ($30.37 actual price).

I’m currently in the market for a 1/4” locking extension. Does Stahkwille make their own stuff or are they another relabeler?

Stahlwille makes most of their tools. Their locking extensions are not rebrands. Made in Germany.

Bluepoint has a nice adapter with a set screw to make any extension a locking one. I went that route since I almost never use them. When you need one they sure are nice.

Looks like they use buttons for the release - that won't work for me. I prefer the collar style.
