Performance Tool Drive Universal Joint

The Performance Tool Drive Universal Joint line gives you a swivel socket adapter (also called a universal joint, flex joint or swivel joint). It lets a ratchet, breaker bar or extension work on fasteners at an angle. Mechanics and DIYers can use it to reach bolts and nuts that a straight socket setup can't, such as fasteners in tight engine bays, under dashboards and around other components.

Key Features:

• Alloy steel construction: Made from chrome vanadium or chrome molybdenum steel, depending on the model, for strength and durability.
• Angled access: The pivoting joint transmits torque while the tool is offset, so you can reach fasteners from difficult angles.
• Corrosion-resistant finish: Standard models have a polished nickel chrome plated finish. It resists rust and wipes clean easily.
• Easy identification: Many models have large size markings, so the right drive size is easy to spot in your toolbox.
• Impact-rated options: The line includes impact universal joints made from drop forged steel for use with impact tools. Standard and flex models are not intended for impact use.
• Flex joint designs: Select models have a spring-loaded ball-and-pin design. It is compact and keeps movement smooth.

Performance Tool makes a wide range of automotive and general-purpose hand tools. These universal joints are a practical addition to any socket set, whether you work on cars, trucks, motorcycles, equipment or around the home. Choose the child item that matches the drive size and style you need.
