Application

The VIM Tools Telescopic Wrench Extender 18"-26" is meant to be used in any application where a wrench is needed and extra leverage is required to remove stubborn or seized bolts.

Selling points

  • The TWE26 consists of the TH21 21” telescoping handle that locks in three different lengths and works with a variety of head attachments offered by VIM Tools. 
  • The bottom of the handle conveniently pops out and has a pin to release the locking mechanism in the head of the tool. 
  • The tool's knurled grip helps prevent slipping.
  • Additional attachments available:
         -1/2'' Dr. Breaker Bar Attachment, No. BB24A
         -1/2" Dr. 90T Flex Ratchet Head Attachment, No. FR25A
         -13/16'' - 1-7/8'' Spring-Loaded Crowfoot Attachment, No. SCF25A

Features and benefits

The extender locks any wrench (8-32mm) in place to give the user plenty of leverage to safely remove stubborn bolts as opposed to using a pipe or double wrenching which can end in busted/bruised knuckles  

Origin

VIM's older wrench extender (WE15) sold out constantly and the only complaint from technicians was that some needed a longer version for even more leverage for the bigger bolts.  

Manufacturing/ engineering specifications

The tool has a chrome finish and is made in Taiwan.

Storage and display

There is one unit per package, packaged in a cardboard box.

Suggested retail price

$116
