Drive Torque Limiting Extension Bar — 8 in., 80 ft·lb limit, Cr-Mo steel","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eCapri Tools 1\/2 in. Drive Torque Limiting Extension Bar is an 8-inch Chrome Molybdenum accessory that limits torque to 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm) for consistent fastener tightening when used with an impact wrench.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this extension bar control torque with an impact wrench?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in torque limiter set to 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism activates under impact loads to prevent excess torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks inline with 1\/2\" drive impact tools and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the Capri Tools bar fit my impact wrench and sockets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the extension is designed for standard 1\/2-inch square drives, the most common size for medium- to heavy-duty impact tools.
