1/4″ Tool: $38.00: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/tite-reach-tr14v1-1-4-professional-extension-wrench#oid=1002_1

Combo of both tools: $82.00: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/tite-reach-tr14-38v1-professional-extension-wrench-combo-pack-1-4-3-8#oid=1002_1

I’d never used a tool like this before but I see a lot of potential for it. When working as a technician, you often find yourself working in confined quarters. A tool like this can really save the day in some of those situations. I also like that I can use my impact with the 3/8 unit. I may have to break things loose first, but it’s still a time saver after that. I look forward to using this tool more in the future.

  1. I’ve just ordered one of these 👍🏻 great tool to keep in your tool box 👌🏻

  2. I'm just curious to know does it have gear differentials with a shaft or is there a continuous loop of chain going from one end to the other to make this tool function

  3. I don’t really see the need for this tool with so many extensions and configurations out there already

  4. the idea looks good,,but the tool looks to big/thick and bulky, do not look to useful, if you can get the tool in that tight spots, you can definitely use the regular ratchet… ( it sounds like your doing a promo for this tool )

  5. Nice video. However i feel that a ratchet (better if flexible) with long handle or extension will work better due long lever arm. Impact wrench aspect is an advantage but again it didnt seem to be working as in the video.

  6. Having to break the bolt loose first is the initial problem. I spent nearly three weeks on two bolts on my starter that I had extreme difficulty just even getting the socket and wrench on it and then there was no room to crack the bolt loose. That tool said it was able to handle up to 400 fiit pounds of torque. If you have to crack the bolt before using the tool, it seems to me, it's defeating the purpose and a waste of money.

  7. The impact is absorbed in normal tolerance of the tool. Think how much slop there is in a good ratchet, to transfer a near infinitesimal angular impact movement thru a chain or set of multiple gears would require a very well machined and high cost tool. I think its still a good tool.

    I did note that this tools socket adapters REALLY increased the profile by far more than it needed/should have, kinda negating its intended purpose.

    At HF I saw a very long reach ratchet wrench with 3/8 and other end 1/4 socket adapters. Slim and low profile great for tight spots but of course its just hand tool, but it was 30$ but is another great tight place tool.

  8. I bought the 3/8" and it broke the first day I used it.  The thing is made of plastic, the chain inside of it came out of the side.  unfortunately this one was junk.  Perhaps if it was made of metal it would have held up better.

  9. ah gees, working for alfa romeo, i came up with this, and when i say this i mean this. the drawings i have way before this tool was released are almost identical. the designer i employed was a snydee fuck, and the rest is tite reach tbh tho its more like outreach. my version of this is way superior. hit me up if you want to know more. oh f me, i just seen the price of it too, what an utter POS.

  10. It would be nice if these could use the Gearwrench Pass Through or the Craftsman Max Axess type sockets to fit in tighter spots.

  11. For this thing to work it has to have a gear belt/chain system. This would not hold up under serious work, nor would it deliver adequate torque. No serious mechanic would own one of these things. As useless as the Gator Socket or the Tiger Wrench, TV shit from the People's (communist) Republic of China. These these things are built in their work (slave labor) camps. You know, "Reeducation camps. "

  12. $49.00? Snap On sells the same thing now but they only want one easy payment of $200. I’m starting to really hate Snap On with their insane pricing. They did say it’s impact approved but still that’s a lot.

  13. I have the 1/4 inch version and its has come in very handy more often than not. It can be a bit awkward to hold in place at times but it works like a champ.

  14. It has an internal chain drive., and while the chain can transmit torque, it is too elastic with all the takeup between parts, and soaks up the rapid short impacts of an impact wrench. If you need to use hand tools to break loose a fastener, why use an impact tool to spin them free, instead of a low profile air ratchet or a drill-driver?

    .Hnt: Epoxy a coupke rare earth magnets to the flats to hold the adaptere when not using them.

    I found it too bulky to fit into most places where I couldn;t use a combination wrench, and not as useful as crowsfoot adapters and an extension bar, a whole set of which costs less than one of those tools. The newer passthrough /combination ratchets with +72 teeth can handle many of the jobs that this can do..

  15. lol damn this is my second tool watch of the day from you. you have the most insightful informative videos of tools people dont know exist! great job man!

  16. PRC – People's Republic of China (official name of the country due to Taiwan also referring to themselves as China and the name being in dispute for decades on end. See Chinese Civil War for more)

  17. The awesome thing about this tool is that the way the adapters are designed you don't take up an extra amount of width for converting from 3/8 to quarter inch or half. With a standard socket wrench, you can't remove the preset Anvil, so you're adding extra with which can kill you when you're adapting to a smaller Drive

  18. I'm actually disappointed Eric made that mistake. It actually is pretty obvious that if you're on the same side you'd have to go in the reverse Direction
