Harbor Freight offers two versions of Universal Impact Joint Sets. The

advantages to the second version. Stronger, work better, horror

I would NOT use this on an impact wrench. Too dangerous.
If you accidentally pull the trigger without the socket on a bolt, the
socket will fly off. Also they will go to about 90 deg. camming the
socket off the bolt.
You have to hold the socket to keep it on the bolt, your hands won't
like it :-).

Appreciate the warning/opinion but you're about ~35 years too late. I
used to spin roller bearings on my finger with the air hose too... still
have a small scar on my finger from that ;-)

I've used this style on impacts before (all those years ago). You lose
a lot of the impact torque, but they do work and can solve some tricky
problems. A few reviews on the HF page say the above model holds up
pretty well but they don't have any comments on the other version,
which I have zero experience with.

I'll probably get one of the three items, maybe two. I really like
wobble extensions, but the angle of attack is quite a bit less.
