What it does
- Bends and holds at any angle so your lights, hoses, or tools stay exactly where you need them
- 16mm hollow core lets you run coolant, water, or cables through the arm so you use one tool for multiple jobs
- Large 60mm length gives you reach and control without taking up much workshop space
- Prints quickly and uses minimal material, so you can make 30 units affordably for your whole shop
- Works with standard Loc-Line accessories so you build the exact setup you want
Stop wrestling with rigid arms and hoses that won't stay put. The XL Flex Arm bends smoothly in any direction and locks firm, holding your workshop lights, coolant lines, or inspection cameras right where you point them.
You get a 60mm tube with a 16mm hollow core. Thread smaller tubing inside if you need zero leaks for liquids, or run it dry for lights and cables. The design uses layers that print efficiently, so each arm costs less to produce. Inspired by Adam Savage's workshop setup, this tool handles real jobs in real shops.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
