I'm considering getting this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0186N5ZSY/...v_ov_lig_dp_it
It is slightly longer than I wanted at 5 cm, but might cop it do a test fit and send it back to amazon if it doesn't fit haha. Will keep on searching for the perfect socket/combo XD It looks doable though just need the right reach. Might get my buddy to make a custom extension for me but we'll see lol. |
No don't use flexi joints, they're fine for removal but they will not get the correct torque specs on tightening, if the joint is bent.
This are my solutions:
1) use all 1/2 drive tools, then use a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter which is exactly 1" long and the perfect extension length, this will connect to your 3/8" e10 socket.
2) I just ordered a bunch of sockets from china, and essentially I have 1 1/4" e10 socket so I can use a 3/8" to 1/4 adapter which is also 1" long and the perfect length and will also allow me to use my 3/8" drive tools and torque wrench. I also bought a 1/2" e10 socket that will allow me to use a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter which is also 1" long and will also allow me to use my 3/8" drive tools. So 2 options Incase one of them is insufficient. I also like the 1/4" drive tools because it'll allow me to get in tight areas.
