I am going to start of with what I like.
The price. If you just take into the consideration of the extensions and the universal sockets you are already getting close to the price of competition. With this kit you are also getting both deep and shallow impact sockets. Throw in the fact that there is included torx and e-torx. Not to mention it contains both metric and SAE. For the most part this is a NO SKIP set except maybe a few e-torx that might have been skipped. As a bonus there is also 3/8 to 3/8 universal adapter and 1/2 female to 3/8 male adapter.
Larger easy to read socket. Each socket is painted and easy to read the size. At one quick glance you can quickly identify the size.
Strong and organized storage. The storage is case seems to be very well made and keep your sockets very neat and securely in place.
The extensions. Like I said above in the price section. The selection of extensions that you receive with this is amazing. 3, 6, 10, and 15 literally almost every extension that you will ever need.
Now for the dislikes. There will not be many as I have not had this set long enough to comment on reliability and there true commitment to life time guarantee.
The sockets were all over the place. When I first open the case for the first time. The sockets were all mixed all over the place. Now this really has nothing to do with the overall organization of the box. It was really the fault of the shipping company and the cardboard box showed the proof of that. But once I reorganized the sockets, I shook the case, moved it around and did just about everything that I would do for normal use. The only thing I did not do was drop kick it and punt it across the room. Apparently that is what happened during shipping as everything stayed neatly in its place.
Oil all over the place. Now I know that most tools are shipped with oil to prevent rust. I just figured I would put it in as I really didn't have anything else negative to say. Combined with the fact that the shipping company really did a number on the package. The oil mess was just amplified.
No 1/2 in. I was really lacking on the 3/8 impact stuff which is why I purchased this. Now my 1/2 in collection is looking very slim and I will have to buy some more. However I have not been able to find a kit like this in 1/2. Hopefully they release something in the future.
So to sum it up. Yes I would recommend this. Yes I would buy again ( Hopefully in 1/2 :). When I get some time as well as something to really put these to the test. I will be making a video on these. As pictures and words do not give them the justice they deserve. ( I paid full price for these and have no connection with them )
I hope that this was helpful to those of you who were on the fence about pulling the trigger on these. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
