When you have extenders, even really short ones that just eliminate the valve cap for convenience (hard to reach into the hole and unscrew a cap) you should have a piece of sturdy tubing that can be pushed onto the extender and used to tighten or loosen it.

Only had one extender fail in 6 years; it was a metal one.
