GEARWRENCH 10 Pc. 1/2" Drive 6 Pt. Deep Universal Impact Socket Set, Metric - 84945N

They appear to be a decent and complete set of sockets once you get all of the duplicate and triplicate sockets replaced via GW's nightmare customer service. The first set I received had three identical sockets, while the second set I received had two identical socket sizes. Finally, the third set was correct; however, I hope you never need to contact their customer service department. Employees who are rude and unhelpful and make you jump through hoops just to fix a quality control issue on their end. There were a few sockets on the metric side that had the side holes double drilled or drilled in the wrong place. As a result, when you open them, make sure you inspect them thoroughly.

This is a high-quality socket set for heavy-duty work. When you try to lift the case for the first time, you'll realize it's true because it weighs 27 pounds. In one hand, that's more than 3 gallons of milk, which is a lot of weight for 28 sockets. Only two minor flaws kept me from giving this a five-star rating. The first is that the sockets do not lock into place in the case; instead, they simply sit here, making them easily jostled. Second, there is no foam insert inside the case, allowing the sockets to move around inside the case and become damaged. When the product arrived at my house, several sockets were banging around inside the case instead of being in their proper locations. br>br>I saw a couple reviews from guys whining about the item's price, which was near 140 dollars. br>br>It's not a huge deal, but it's something gearwrench shouldn't overlook on a set of this price. br>br>I saw a couple reviews from guys whining about the item's price, which was near 140 dollars. Well, I don't think $5 per socket for CrMo impact sockets is a bad deal at all, especially when you can get them in sizes ranging from 8 to 36mm. Simply put, shut up and buy it. You'll be glad you did.

The sockets appeared to be of good quality. At first, I was satisfied. The sockets appeared to be of good quality. However, after some use, I discovered that the sleeve that holds the swivel pin is made of aluminum! For the environment in which these sockets are used, this is a terrible design idea! Most mechanics run into a situation where they have to hold on to the socket while running the impact, which I was fortunate to avoid when the pin backed out. The pin is secured with a steel sleeve in the Sunnex short universal impact sockets I have. These are available for purchase.

It's good, but not quite up to Taiwan's standards. However, fantastic cases! Gearwrench makes an equivalent set of SAE 1/2" impact sockets. Taiwan was the place where they were created. The sockets are a lot more durable than the Chinese-made metric sockets. I haven't torn either set up yet, but I have impacted truck lugs and blowout preventer bolts with them. Because these are fairly large nuts with a lot of applied torque, you'll have to beat and bang on them to loosen them. After using the 36mm socket to change out some tractor trailer tires, there are some indications on the drive side from impacting. It still has a lot of life left in it, but I was disappointed to see that after only a few hours of use. My SAE Gearwrench impact sockets from Taiwan are all small monsters! Some of these sockets have been used for hundreds of hours and are still in excellent condition. I mostly use 1/2" Milwaukee Fuel (2nd gen. ) impact guns because they have a lot of torque. 3/8" Milwaukee Fuel (3rd gen. ) and 3/8" Milwaukee Fuel (3rd gen. ) ), and a variety of Ingersol Rand pneumatic impact guns for when I just need to get a stinky air hose out. br>br>The case, as well as the tools, are equally important to me. This case (along with the SAE tool case) is extremely well constructed. On the sides, there are molded-in latches, and on the front, there are two steel mechanical hasps. In hundreds of in and out maneuvers from my crossbed toolbox, I've never had them open by accident. With all of the other big heavy stuff in my toolbox, it's a tough life. These cases have held up exceptionally well. And I can tell if something is missing from the case right away. My best guess is that the cases in both the metric and SAE sets are manufactured in the same factory, but the sockets are manufactured in different countries for some reason. To help me keep track of all of those sockets, the cases are easily worth $75. Even if I have to replace a socket now and then, I have a strong case to keep the new socket in place.

In the short time I've had it, I've already put it to good use. I have yet to be disappointed by the 6-point design. I use it with a Milwaukee 1/2" impact driver with 1400 ft lb of breaking force, and it works great. It's great that there's such a wide range of continuous sizes to choose from. The case could be a little better, but overall, this is a solid must-have for the weekend warrior mechanic.

fewer minor blunders a problem with the match This is a fantastic and comprehensive collection! It's great that they're chromoly instead of vandium (which tends to be weaker/prone to shatter and thicker to compensate). The size is laser etched on the side for easy reference, but it's also deeply stamped into the lower side around the socket, so it'll always be identifiable no matter what! This is made even better by GearWrench's well-known quality and customer service. br>br>************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ A 1-inch socket was installed in place of a 1/2-inch socket. 7/16in socket, new, plastic wrapped, and paper packaging labels all around. Most likely, this was done in a factory. I'm attempting to determine the best course of action in this situation.

I purchased these sockets about a year ago and have used them extensively in a retail environment. When compared to other brands, these sockets are insanely cheap! You can practically go out and buy a Snap-on. On set, it was more expensive (roughly $500-$1000). For $600, you'd get a smaller selection of sockets with, in my opinion, comparable quality. I won't criticize the quality of snap on impact sockets because I've used them and found them to be well made, but the cost of the snap on makes it unjustifiable to go that route. The sockets are clearly being abused now, especially since I use my Milwaukee impact or my air cat. I use the sockets on axle nuts, rusted suspension bolts, seized, rusted bolts, and pretty much anything else that I've had to heat up and PB blast, and I've only seen minor damage to the sockets after all the abuse and heat transfer over the year. I believe they will last much longer, and I doubt I'll ever need to replace them. My recommendation is to purchase either this set or the Grey Pneumatic set; you will not be disappointed.
