extención para llave de tubo
Explanation:
Looking at the picture in your link I see that this is a socket wrench extension, not a monkey wrench extension, therefore, my translation refers to a socket wrench extension.

extensión para matraca de dados, llaves de dados


Explanation:
Algunos le llaman matraca por el ruido que hacen las llaves al accionarlas (rachet). Esta es la extensión para la matraca o para la llave de dados.
