✔️ 1-inch drive torque-limiting extension rated to 175 ft-lbs, yellow finish

Torque Limiting Extension, 1-inch drive, is a purpose-built tool for wheel installations and automotive service work. It helps prevent overtightening or uneven tightening of lug nuts by stopping the socket rotation once the preset torque is reached, reducing the risk of wheel and brake rotor damage. This chunky, durable tool is ideal in repair shops, garages, and DIY setups where consistent clamping force matters. Built from chrome molybdenum spring steel and finished with a tough powder coating for scratch and corrosion resistance, the tool is clearly labeled on the drive end with its size and torque rating for quick identification. Pack size: 1 piece. American Forge & Foundry, established in 1963, stands behind this tough extension as part of their line of heavy-duty automotive service gear.
