Have a set of wobble shafts as they're called,, very handy, have encountered many spots that a u-joint &or swivel sockets. don't quite fit, especially when using power tools
Why buy an entire set of swivel sockets when you can just buy a single wobble? If you're using it all the time, sure buy the actual swivel socket, but if it's just one offs don't bother.
Real trick is reaching that shit when the insert snaps and leaves your socket and extension all deep like up in the underbelly of what it was you were working on due to socket now being semi stuck on the bolt. Good time and mainly time waster. Big advocate for hand starting and cranking by rachet.
Perfect for drive shafts on trucks. Shaft angle tends to get in the way of getting dead onto a bolt. Especially if you're using a driver with a wide body without an extention on it
Haven't watched it yet, as I'm doing Tech Support on two jobs @ Twenty two hundred hours. But my gut tells me you've got something important to tell me, so I've saved, liked, and subscribed in advance. Best of luck Best wishes to U&URS
You can find em at the automotive store. On solar, it freaks out my coworkers. They think my socket is always about to fall off, i dig my gun under the array to move an l-foot and go full tilt.
its a wobble socket. cant say Iv'e seen many 1/4 hex to 3/8 wobbles that short but they carry longer shanked ones at harbor freight and wouldnt be surprised if any box store has one like it.
I have these as well as extensions with the same head. They are some of my most used tools, as an automotive technician, these are a must. They have made my life much easier at times, and have payed for themselves many times over!
For those that don't know what to ask for to purchase, it is called a wobble extension. It's a Super wobble if it does two things and locks up like a regular adapter too
We call them socket busters. The tiny contact area puts a lot of pressure on the socket if you go full tilt, and will bust your socket. I think most people use impact swivels now.
It's not needed everyday but when you need it and don't have it you would do anything to have it for that job. They're not that expensive, so I have a 1/4 and 3/8 wobbles to go with my 1/4 and 3/8 standard socket adapters because I already had a couple williams wobble extensions and loved how they could save the day from time to time.
I have made great use of the impact wobble sockets . Snap on is pricey but the best. The wobble plus extensions are nice , on occasion . I still prefer the wobble impact sockets .
I have a few socket wrench extensions with the same rounded edges. Last time I did a transmission job & stacked two or three of them it completely eliminated need for u-joints. Absolute life saver!
Ive never seen that except bon an extension. An issue is theres a lot less potential contact area, I'd expect it to wear itself and/or a groove into sockets fast on impact mode. Also a narrow base might allow it to snap easier.
I have had the same adapter for years. It's pretty common. You just got to know where to look for them. Home Depot has had them for 10 years that I know of
It’s a wobble adapter. They have been around for nearly 50 years. Not something new. Only new part would be the shank that allows it to be used on a drill/driver tool.
I go for universal parts that can work on any tool.. ut doesn't whether its the expensive festool and the others. Parts must be shared in the workshop. It works we use it.
I like that that one will work as a wobbler or a standard extension, but they've been around for a long time but be careful using it on an impact cause that baby will fly off n hit something or break something you definitely didn't want it to...
We used these all the time. We broke a lot of them, but didn't care because they were awesome for what we needed. I can't find these anymore. WHERE CAN I FIND THEM? Home Depot doesn't sell them any more.
Nope I've never noticed that on the shelf and man it would come in handy thank you and I've been doing this for a long time I'm getting older I'm trying to stay out of the tool stores though I've already got three four five of everything but I don't have that thank you I'm a grateful carpenter 💁♂️ Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
Ive owned several in various sizes 1/4,3/8,&1/2 from both the Makita Gold and Craftsman for nearly a decade now in Cr-V. I use them frequently too! I also have black oxide impact versions also from craftsman & H.F. Im just a tool junky also 😂
It's a wobbler and it'll hog holy hell out of your sockets, or if it's softer than the socket, wear out and launch your socket into orbit. I use em on manual ratchets if I'm too lazy to go get a proper swivel but never on high speed power tools.
Gotta be careful with those wobble drivers, if the socket has a thin wall where the drive goes in, it will just round out the socket on the drive side. Personal experience on that unfortunately. A different brand of sockets solved the problem
Bro just created a black hole somewhere in the universe by putting a Pittsburgh socket and a Makita socket adapter in a Milwaukee drill.
Hahahaha 🤣🤣👊👊👊👏
But yet they are probably made just down the street from each other.
The ol Pittskiwaukee.
It's an impact. Not a drill.
The only thing left was to use a DeWalt battery on his drill
People normally call those wobbles and they’re very very common.
Came to say this exact thing. Glad I saw your comment first!
Perfect name , I callem wabbel extensions
Most folks don't know what they don't know.
@@calitri76 I know, I'm mechanic of 47 years !
@@Louis-kk3toworked at CAT used them a lot
It's really amazing how far a socket will fly off of one of those if it breaks loose
😮 Aye Crumba !
Buy this and hire a quality dentist 😅
They get scared and fly roll bounce and hide with all the 10mm wrenches and sockets
Exactly!!😂
always put in your bite guard when working on vehicles. gives you something fun to chew on while you work as a bonus
We call them woblers and they come in lengths too. Just don't put a lot of torque on them
...and a chrome adapter on a impact driver! The eclipse must have had an affect! :)
A swivel socket does the same thing, without the risk of sending a socket straight into your forehead
Have a set of wobble shafts as they're called,, very handy, have encountered many spots that a u-joint &or swivel sockets. don't quite fit, especially when using power tools
Wobble extensions are incredibly common and not any more dangerous than any other socket setup
A swivel socket adds a lot more bulk. This is a much better option when space is restricted.
Ahh yes unless you buy locking ones like ones offered by snap on.
Why buy an entire set of swivel sockets when you can just buy a single wobble?
If you're using it all the time, sure buy the actual swivel socket, but if it's just one offs don't bother.
It’s just a wobble bit. They make extensions too they are get for those hard to reach awkward nuts and bolts
I still use these. Theyre at home depot. All the time
3/8 WOBBLE hex drive.
It’s definitely “real nicelike” I love that quote!
Pretty real nicelike😂
Just don't go all full impact mode on the adapting piece. I've broken mine a couple of times. 💙 T.E.N.
You broke them with. 1/4 in impact driver?
Took a minute just to say "this is an wobble socket adaptor.
His short is way too long.
It's a wobbly wobbly socket attachment!
I have wobble extensions like this in every size. They're definitely handy. Wouldn't put one on the impact like that though
I live life on the edge
@@ToolReviewZone😂 haha, I love it!
One of the first purchases I made as mechanic was a set of Snapon wobble sockets. Worth their weight in gold!
Real trick is reaching that shit when the insert snaps and leaves your socket and extension all deep like up in the underbelly of what it was you were working on due to socket now being semi stuck on the bolt. Good time and mainly time waster. Big advocate for hand starting and cranking by rachet.
They make a special bit for that
@@ToolReviewZone one that is impossible to use in that hard to reach space.
One of the most handy and most commonly used tools in any persons toolboxes. Only had 1 of these to wear out in 4 years. Love this bit!
Hit the trigger in flex mode see if the socket doesn't hit you in the forehead.. Hahaha.. Yep I done that once.. Hahaha peace man Rolfie
It's that damn turbo!!!!😎👊
good ol wobble socket, Iv used many of them from my dads tool kit. mine isnt as complete as his but i do have atleast one in 3/8 drive
I needed this on my 5.3
Yeah but those 1/4” adapters sheer in half all of the time with any real use. It’s much better to just buy a 1/2 and 3/8 impacts and swivel sockets
Perfect for drive shafts on trucks. Shaft angle tends to get in the way of getting dead onto a bolt. Especially if you're using a driver with a wide body without an extention on it
You can get them with the wobble extention already attached. They are called driveline sockets. Definitely worth it if you use them quite often.
I've found that two extensions have enough play to get that drives haft off, if I'm too lazy to go get my swivels.
Haven't watched it yet, as I'm doing Tech Support on two jobs @ Twenty two hundred hours. But my gut tells me you've got something important to tell me, so I've saved, liked, and subscribed in advance. Best of luck Best wishes to U&URS
Haha, thanks for the awesome comment nothankyou
Those harbor freight impact sockets are pretty decent! Got some myself.
A lot of their stuff has become just average now, which is a hell of a step up from the bad old days
My dads favorite words when I was a kid... "dammit boy, you brought me a wobble extension!"
Haha 🤣
It's a wobble extension. That's what that heads called
I just use my impact wrench if i need to use sockets, but a wiggle is useful!
Still have wobble extensions and adapters from 40 years ago. Not to be confused with swivels when they first came out.
wobble extensions are clutch for certain jobs. also ball hex sockets
You can find em at the automotive store. On solar, it freaks out my coworkers. They think my socket is always about to fall off, i dig my gun under the array to move an l-foot and go full tilt.
🤣👊

I have only those adapters. They come in handy many many times in every project I do
Fun fact: that fixed/wobble design was first invented/sold by Koken tools.
I have the wobble extensions. Great for spark plugs on hemis

These actually come in handy, you can get them at harbor freight made by baur they come as a 3 pack 1/4 3/8 1/2” drive
Works somewhat like a universal, I've got a free of'em and they're certainly handy in specific situations.
I have a bunch of wobble extensions. They come in handy. I don't think anyone I know who actually uses tools doesn't know about them

Oooh. I’ve seen the ones with a ball on a pivot but I’ve never seen that. That’s brilliant
That's real nice like!

These are called wobble sockets Clint
They still make them & surely are popular❤ 🔧.
We always called it a Wobble socket. Super useful!
Snap On calls it wobble plus. Love my 1/4 and 3/8 drive extension sets.
DeWalt makes individual ones that come in 3/8,5/16,&1/4. Pretty handy on evaporator covers on KitchenAid side by side refrigerators.
The pitts socket from HF, good value. I've had mine for 8 years or something.
Never thought of that. Good to know. 🤔
I have had the same adapter for years. It's pretty common. You just got to know where to look for them. Home Depot has had them for 10 years that I know of
Wobble adapters? I have a set in every drive size.....
Congratulations on being the first to call it what it's colloquially known as, a wobbler.
It’s a wobble adapter. They have been around for nearly 50 years. Not something new. Only new part would be the shank that allows it to be used on a drill/driver tool.
It's called wobble plus by snap on.
I picked one up a bout a year or two ago when you first had it on the channel. 👍✌️
I've got one for my bits, very handy. Thanks for reminding me to get one for my sockets. I keep forgetting. 😝👍
I go for universal parts that can work on any tool.. ut doesn't whether its the expensive festool and the others. Parts must be shared in the workshop. It works we use it.
I occasionally use extentions with an end like that but have not seen them like that for impact drivers.
Used this for years for electrical instals
We call them wobble sockets, still easy to find in Australia.
love tjose things
Why would you want to use a 1/4" impact to run sockets? Use a 3/8" impact and they have them wobble extensions in impact.
Got a couple of extenders in the shop where I work and they have that type of end on it very useful especially working on engines
I'm down to my last one of these adapters. I really need help finding some more. These are my absolute favorite.
Go Clint!
Real Nass-Like!
Hahaha what's up Redd!!!!
Wobble attachment. Been produced for at least a hundred years.
They function exactly like this ? Converting a 1/4 driver into a fixed impact wrench + option for swivel?
I need to get one of these.
I like that that one will work as a wobbler or a standard extension, but they've been around for a long time but be careful using it on an impact cause that baby will fly off n hit something or break something you definitely didn't want it to...

Pretty common at least where I live. I got a couple wobble adapters and extensions

Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
Darn! I spent a lot on wobbly impact sockets when all I needed was this😞
So it's cool, it can go into regular mode and wobble mode, but I don't think that's rated for an impact, on top of that IDK if that'll last.
Ive owned several in various sizes 1/4,3/8,&1/2 from both the Makita Gold and Craftsman for nearly a decade now in Cr-V. I use them frequently too! I also have black oxide impact versions also from craftsman & H.F. Im just a tool junky also 😂
Kingchrome makes a swivel version they're good for pipe bolts where there not much room
Ahh yes the socket chunker attachment.
Called a wobble tip. Snap on sells them still. I have a whole extension set
Bro pulled a South Park line out
Proof of dental insurance should be a requirement to buy these😂
It's a wobbler and it'll hog holy hell out of your sockets, or if it's softer than the socket, wear out and launch your socket into orbit.
I use em on manual ratchets if I'm too lazy to go get a proper swivel but never on high speed power tools.
Was waiting to let that drill running
Gotta be careful with those wobble drivers, if the socket has a thin wall where the drive goes in, it will just round out the socket on the drive side. Personal experience on that unfortunately. A different brand of sockets solved the problem
I have a drawer full off different sizes. All the way from little drill bits all the way one to 1" impacts
I love impacting on chrome
You can even get impact wobble bars
Excellent
That’s called a Wobble Adapter, you can still get them just about anywhere
Great for starter bolts
I was looking for the dirty innuendo in this.
Makita Gold,. overall, sucks. However, that 3/8" adapter is the bee's knees! Fact.
I haven't seen these in a while. Was looking on line just to see if you could still buy them, but having trouble finding them Dave 🤔
I work on semis and tht thing would not pull a mudflap bolt to save its lifee 😂😂
Thx for the information. I wondered why it was like that😂
Is there a benefit to using these over a swivel?
The trick to useing them is to get real close to it so you can keep an eye on your work and then just send it😂
Wobblers. I use extensions like it
They are on the end of some Allen keys I just sawed one of mine off to use with my drill !!!
Gotta love those wobblers.
