GEARWRENCH 3/8" Drive Flex Metric Socket Set 10 Pc., 6 Point - 80565

High Quality

So far so good, with this set. You just plain, can't, do jobs without these. So far the 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 15mm have taken the most abuse. And they are still working like new. I frickin love these. Glad I found em before the snap on truck rolled around.... Nothing against snap on.. they have great tools, but for a price.

Exactly what you need for tight spaces. I have recently tried a Gearwrench socket set for my travel bag for one of my vehicles and they were so good I added a couple other sets to my watch list. When the A/C compressor clutch went out on my GM truck (just out of warranty, stick to high quality parts) I didn't want to suffer through pulling those 15mm bolts out the hard way again so I added this to the parts order.It couldn't have worked better, even in the very tight and awkward space (a low profile ratchet helps too). Even though 15mm (the biggest in the set) is huge for 1/4" and it's a swivel it held up to breaking all the bolts loose and torqing them back up. The alternative is a thin profile 12 pt wrench 1/16 of a turn at a time (for 2" of thread), thanks 4wd... It's not something you will use every day but awesome just the same. It makes it easier to get to fasteners you would otherwise use a wrench on so I have used it more than I thought I might, especially since they aren't floppy like a swivel extension usually is (although a piece of tape can fix that).The rail it comes with is nice enough I priced out buying them for other sockets (forget it, they are plastic, not gold like the price might indicate) and very compact for one that actually stands up on its own. The sockes are very shallow so yo don't get to admire the quality of the fit as much as you do on the regular sockets (or mid length which I also purchased) but the chrome is very nice and the fit is good.If you are considering these and have the storage space just buy them. It's better to have them before you kill yourself taking out a bolt and then ordering them after the fact. I was considering the 3/8 set but I have 1/2 impact swivels and I think if you have the room for the 3/8 you probably can fit the 1/2? Tough choice...

I like these just as good as snap on

Let me start off by saying, i am an automotive technician with about 4 years of field experience working at various dealerships. I have purchased quite a bit of tools from gearwrench and have never been disapointed. First thing, the sockets do not come in the blow molded case as shown in the picture, but instead come on a plastic rail which is not the end of the world, and does not justify rating this lower than 5 stars. First time using these sockets on a job i was extremely pleased. The sockets fit extremely well and the universal joint is very fluid in movement with no stiff points during flex. I have been using these sockets for a couple months now and have not a single complaint. I use these sockets on my Milwaukee cordless impact gun and cordless 1/4" ratchet. These sockets are extremely strong for their drive size, and i have not broken a socket yet nor have i loosened up the pivot pin. These sockets work perfectly and get me into some tight areas that a normal univrersal swivel wouldn't allow me to. The only thing that i did notice was that the 10mm socket was a little longer than the rest of the sockets, but i haven't had any issues with space confinment due to the longer socket size. I would absolutely recomend this set to anyone looking to purchase a socket set like this. Compared to snapon and matco, there is no possible way you could go wrong with these. Purchasing this set instead of a snapon or matco set will save you almost 400 dollars since the price from the competition is over $420!! There are other socket sets just like this one, but at the end of the day, GearWrench's warranty is extremely good and warranty their tools for life!

Gearwrench is one of the best brands available.

Good product

Very good. As a toyota technician it is extremely difficult to remove 3 out of the 4 a/c compressor bolts on the Tacoma. The 12mm socket from this set paired with a long extension and a long ratchet will get it every time. The snap on sockets are definitely better but they're literally like 7-8 times the price and I only really use the 10 and 12 and occasionally the 14

Awesome little set. Only complaint is the numbers are very hard to read on the side of each socket when left in the supplied tray.

Had these for a long time now. I have put these through a lot of stress with no issues at all. Very impressed and highly recommend them

Works great. No problems with this

Been using the kit for the past 4 months, it get the job done every time.

very good product and very fast shipping
