 +Socket wrench extensions and adapters come in many sizes and aren't expensive. \\
 +Extensions can be doubled up for extra length in tight places. Add as many as you need. Good to stock up on. \\
 +Socket adapters allow you to use different drive wrenches on one socket. \\
 +
 +===== Socket Adapters =====
 +Extensions are essential for changing lengths from the nut/bolt to the wrench. \\
 +Drive adapters allow you to use the same wrench with sockets made for different drive sizes. \\
 +You can buy adapters that accept screwdriver bits to allow you to remove/install/torque Phillips, Allen, Posidrive or other screw heads. \\
 +These are also helpful sometimes in giving more torque to remove stubborn screws. \\
