Capri Tools 1/2 in. Drive Torque Limiting Extension Bar — 8 in., 80 ft·lb Limit, Chrome Moly

Capri Tools 1/2 in. drive torque limiting extension bar stops at 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm) to help deliver consistent torque when using an impact wrench.

The Capri Tools torque limiting extension bar is engineered to add repeatable torque control to impact tools without changing your socket size or drive. Built from chrome molybdenum steel for durability, this 8-inch extension fits a 1/2-inch drive and includes a color-coded ring for fast identification on crowded tool benches. It’s intended to engage at a preset torque so your fasteners experience the same applied force each time.

How does this extension bar control torque with an impact wrench?

The extension bar contains an internal mechanism that decouples the drive once the preset torque is reached, preventing additional torque transfer. It does not require calibration during normal use and is set to limit at 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm).

• Built-in limiter trips at 80 ft·lbs (110 Nm)
• Works inline between impact wrench and socket
• Doesn’t change socket size or drive connection

Will this withstand heavy shop use and impacts?

Yes — the extension bar is forged from premium chrome molybdenum steel designed to resist repeated impact loads and protect the limiter mechanism. The finish and construction are chosen for longevity in professional and DIY environments.

• Chrome molybdenum construction for impact durability
• Robust internal components to tolerate repeated cycles
• Solid 1/2 in. drive interface for secure fit-up

How long is the bar and how do I identify the torque rating quickly?

The extension bar measures 8 inches overall, giving you reach while maintaining control and balance. A color-coded ring on the shank provides immediate visual identification so you can grab the correct torque limit without reading fine print.

• 8 inches in length for added access and clearance
• Color-coded ring for fast selection on busy benches
• Compact profile compatible with standard 1/2 in. sockets

What tasks is an 80 ft·lb torque limiter suited for?

The 80 ft·lb (110 Nm) limit covers many medium-duty fastening jobs where overtightening risks thread damage or inconsistent clamp load. It’s useful for assembly, maintenance, and repair tasks where repeatable torque matters but a full torque wrench setup isn’t practical.

• Automotive and light-truck assemblies within the torque range
• Machinery maintenance with repeated identical fasteners
• Production or field service where speed and consistency are required

Who is this for: The Capri Tools 1/2 in. drive, 8 in. torque limiting extension bar is aimed at mechanics, technicians, and serious DIYers who use impact wrenches and need repeatable torque without swapping tools. If you want a rugged, easy-to-identify inline limiter that protects fasteners and helps standardize torque across many fastenings, this tool is built for that workflow.
