The device, cataloged as PLB-520, functions by repositioning the socket to accommodate external gripping tools. By integrating this secondary grip point, mechanics and trade workers can apply significantly more force than a traditional ratchet setup typically allows. The robust design targets automotive professionals, diesel technicians, and home hobbyists who frequently contend with seized or difficult-to-reach hardware.
New Ratchet Extension Aims to Boost Torque in Tight Spaces
“I thought there could be an easier way to turn sockets,” said a Vineland-based inventor regarding the J R Extension. Designed to allow users to grip fasteners with a crescent or adjustable wrench, the tool provides additional leverage and access in confined areas where standard ratchets often struggle.
A working prototype is currently available, and the inventor has placed the design with the Philadelphia office of InventHelp. The firm is now seeking licensing agreements or outright sales to manufacturers interested in expanding their tool portfolios. Those interested in the technical specifications or acquisition can contact InventHelp in Pittsburgh at (412) 288-1300, extension 1368.
