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.
Thanks.

Stahlwille are the best, you can find them on Amazon and ebay. Not cheap but quality cost.

The Proto ones have worked well for me.
They can get in the way sometimes yes.
Thanks! ordering, i really only need maybe the 3/8 and 1/4 inch. Not sure i need 1/2 .
I got Craftsman ones a long time a go that I really like. I think this is the same one.

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.
