Capri Tools 1/2 in. Drive Torque Limiting Extension Bar — 8 in., 80 ft·lb limit, Cr-Mo steel

If you rely on an impact wrench for vehicle maintenance, assembly or industrial fastening, this torque limiting extension bar helps prevent over-tightening while keeping repeatable results. Built from hardened Chrome Molybdenum steel and fitted with a color-coded band, the extension bar adds reach and safety without sacrificing durability. It connects to any 1/2-inch drive impact tool and trips internally when the set torque is reached, delivering controlled stops rather than further tightening.

How does this extension bar control torque with an impact wrench?

The tool contains an internal mechanism calibrated to disengage when the 80 ft·lb threshold is reached. Instead of transferring additional turning force to the fastener, the bar allows the wrench to continue moving while the drive slips internally, reducing the risk of over-torqueing.

• Built-in torque limiter set to 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm)
• Mechanism activates under impact loads to prevent excess torque
• Works inline with 1/2" drive impact tools and sockets

Will the Capri Tools bar fit my impact wrench and sockets?

Yes — the extension is designed for standard 1/2-inch square drives, the most common size for medium- to heavy-duty impact tools. It accepts the same drive sockets you already use, so integration is simple and requires no adapters.

• 1/2" square drive on both ends for direct compatibility
• Fits standard 1/2" impact sockets and accessories
• No special adapters required for typical shop and garage use

How durable is the construction for frequent workshop use?

The extension is forged from premium Chrome Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel, a material known for toughness under repeated impact. Heat-treated and finished for corrosion resistance, it stands up to the shock loads of impact wrenches and regular shop handling.

• Forged Chrome Molybdenum construction for high strength
• Heat treatment for long-term wear resistance
• Color-coded ring for quick identification and inventory control

What length and torque range does this model offer?

This Capri Tools model measures 8 inches overall, giving extra reach in recessed or hard-to-access fastener locations. It is calibrated to limit torque at 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm), a common target for many automotive and mechanical applications where over-tightening must be avoided.

• 8 in. length to extend reach into tight spaces
• Torque limiting at 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm)
• Color-coded band simplifies selecting the correct torque-limited bar

Who this is for: mechanics, fleet technicians, home mechanics, assembly-line operators and anyone using a 1/2" drive impact wrench who needs consistent, repeatable torque without risking stripped threads or damaged components. If you value accuracy, tool durability and faster workflow when tightening fasteners in confined spots, this Capri Tools torque limiting extension bar is a practical addition to your toolbox.
