Abstract
An extension to be releasably engaged with a driving tool and a driven tool, includes two tubular housings each for accommodating a beveled gear, a shaft intersecting via the beveled gear and having a shaft end at one end thereof for engaging with one of the driving tool and the driven tool, and a pair of supporting bearings for rotatively supporting the shaft in first housing; an internal end thread in one of the housings and a threaded locking ring at a side of the other of the housing being releasably engaged in a L-shape or T-shape. One beveled gear is positioned at another end of the respective shaft to rotatively engage at a non-zero and non-180-degree angle with another beveled gear positioned in the medium section of or at another end of the respective shaft.

An extension to be releasably engaged with a driving tool and a driven tool, comprising:
- a first tubular housing for accommodating a first beveled gear, a first shaft intersecting via the first beveled gear and having a first shaft end at one end thereof for engaging with one of the driving tool and the driven tool, and a first pair of supporting bearings for rotatively supporting the first shaft in the first housing;
- a second tubular housing for accommodating a second beveled gear, a second shaft intersecting via the second beveled gear and having a second shaft end at one end thereof for engaging with the other one of the driving tool and the driven tool, and, a second pair of supporting bearings for rotatively supporting the second shaft in the second housing;
- and
- an internal end thread in one of the housings and a threaded locking ring at a side of the other of the housing being releasably engaged in a L-shape or T-shape,
- wherein the first beveled gear is positioned at another end of the first shaft to rotatively engage at a non-zero and non-180-degree angle with the second beveled gear, positioned in the medium section of or at another end of the second shaft.
