Does such a thing exist? I have a cheapo Clarke flexible extension bar for a normal socket wrench which has come in very handy. Google isn't helping when it comes to the same thing for an impact wrench..

I think the nearest you will get is a 'wobble headed' extension bar.

Already done it manually with a flexible extension. Not actually car mechanics I was dismantling a very cheap network rack so it could be disposed of.. Lots of domed headed bolts with difficult to access nuts. .An impact driver would have been a more suitable tool but I don''t have one of those. If all else failed I would have used an angle grinder. wink

Just wonder of the flexibility would take some of the impact out.
I have a couple of flexis but never tried them with a rattle gun.

An extension used on an impact wrench can get quite warm - wasted energy which would be more usefully applied to the fastener.
