    My compact sim looks simple but can be challenging when getting to various nuts and bolts with a socket.

    I just spotted these extension bars and they are such a good idea that I wonder why they are not standard equipment for every major socket set. Trouble is they cost more than a whole cheap socket set: http://www.tite-reach.com/

    nifty tool, but that pic is a bad example as you could have done with a standard rachet drive.
    Could do something similar by welding a socket on to the end of a rachet drive bar.

    Sorry disregard my comment I should of looked at the site before commenting.
    Still a nifty tool to get to hard spots without having getting a spanner out and doing it the slow way.
