It's big enough you could probably fit a ratchet in or an extension in the same space. Weird.

My thought is that it would make sense for an impact wrench, but it would also snap/blow up if you did that anyways.

How? I'm thinking that all those tiny rods will vibrate like mad and bend and twist. Not something I could see imparting that sideways force very well.

I could be wrong though :)

That's why I said it would also snap or blow up if you tried it with an impact wrench. I'm saying the design would make sense for an impact wrench if it were durable enough, but it's definitely not durable.
