SATA 12922 Flexible Extension Bar 3/8" Drive 8" (Flex Shaft)
Couldn't load pickup availability
Product Overview
The SATA12922 is a 3/8" square-drive flexible extension bar built to reach fasteners that no rigid tool can line up with — behind brackets, through gaps in bodywork, or anywhere the path to the bolt isn't a straight line. The shaft bends and holds its position, letting you route it around whatever's in the way while still transmitting turning force from ratchet to socket. At 8" (150mm) overall, it's a compact reach-extender for the jobs a standard or wobble extension simply can't get to.
Key Features
- Continuously flexible shaft — bends and holds its shape around obstructions, not just a single pivot point
- Torque transmission while flexed — keeps driving the socket even when routed around a bend
- 8" (150mm) length — compact reach for confined or obstructed access points
- 3/8" male square drive — compatible with standard 3/8" ratchets and breaker bars
- Chrome-finished construction — corrosion resistant

Warranty Terms
This product is excluded from SATA's lifetime warranty. SATA's own product page states this explicitly: "This product is consumable, not within SATA lifetime warranty." Unlike the rigid tools in this catalog, the flexible shaft wears with repeated bending and use, so SATA classifies it as a consumable/wear item rather than a lifetime-warrantied tool.

| Off-axis reach | Slight angle at the drive tip | Straight only | Shaft bends around obstructions |
| Socket retention | No locking device | One-hand spring-loaded lock | – |
