Better than Advertised! July 7, 2010
Bonvi
UPS delivered my set this morning.Almost to pretty to use I was hopeful that this was not a case of form over function.I'm totally impressed!The case the etching all first rate.I have an old Farmall tractor that I have been working on,so I gave most of the sockets a whirl on several differant wrenches.Wow,did I say that I was impressed? Even more so, they performed flawlessly.

Happy I made the purchase,truly better than advertised.Thanks folks for the stellar reviews.They were the deal breakers for me.Thanks Amazon for providing a great product at a great price.

Good product but is it worth the price? March 4, 2010

This is a very good product. The case is huge so the socket management is very easy. The sockets are nice and the white prints (laser etchings) on them are very good.

But, the main question is, is this worth the money? You can get a similar set at Harbor Freight for $15 and a deep set for $20?

I ordered this from Amazon and as per their super free shipping, it took 8 days to deliver to me. I went to Harbor Freight to get 3/4" sockets and saw the 1/2" sockets there for $15 and $20 for the regular and deep 1/2" sockets there.

I got the HF deep 1/2" impact sockets for $20 and here are a few observations. The HF doesn't have the white writing so it's little harder to figure out the size of the socket since it's printed in small letters in black. However, the HF sockets had 30mm and 32mm while this one maxed out at 27mm; the IR set has a lot of very small sockets - 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm etc.

For the shadetree mechanic who is trying to get the tools on a budget, I would suggest a trip to your HF. For the professional or the man who has to have the best, the IR sockets are great and pretty.

Nice, but don't buy used from Amazon November 15, 2009

These were some really nice looking sockets. Unfortunately I bought them from Amazon's used store (basically reselling things that were returned) and two of the sockets were duplicated, so I was actually missing two (I'm sure this is the reason it was returned, but I guess they couldn't figure out it shouldn't be resold).

I do plan to buy these again because they are such a great deal, and they look great. Just waiting until I actually have a need for them again.

Excellent Value! September 30, 2009

There's not a lot to add to the description and other reviews, but to say what value this set appears to be. I was placing an order for an Ingersoll-Rand 2130 1/2-Inch Heavy-Duty Air Impact Wrench, my first impact wrench and needed a set of sockets (Do NOT use sockets with an impact wrench that are not made specifically as impact sockets at they may shatter with the hammering.) I didn't want to spend more time on the internet making comparisons, and just intended to pick up a 12-piece metric set at Sears. As I checked out on Amazon, this 14-piece was suggested. Hmmmm. It was half the price of the smaller Craftsman set. It was Ingersoll-Rand, and I believed them to be very reputable. I made sure that it had the sizes I needed for lugs on the family car and family truckster. I'd be dumb not to order it, take the time to drive across town, fight my way into the mall and spend twice as much plus tax to get the smaller Craftsman set, so I ordered this set.

The set arrived today. I intend to post pictures in the next couple of days. Like another reviewer said, the size of the case IS ridiculous. It's not even that there is space for additional sockets. There is just a lot of "padding" space around the two rows of sockets. I do have this to say, though. The latches are actual hinges, and not just flexing plastic that will eventually break off with use. Also, to complete my comparison, the Craftsman set doesn't come with a case at all.

Other than that, I have to problems to report with the product. The sockets all appeared to be well-made with an excellent, consistent finish. Time will tell how they hold up, but I didn't want to hold off reviewing them for another 100 years or so to see.

Excellent Socket Set, but, ... August 20, 2009
Camera Shy (Baltimore, MD USA)

Other reviewers have said everything to be said about the sockets themselves. But, the size of the carrying case is beyond ridiculous. Most of us would expect to put a 14-piece socket set into a tool-chest drawer. Not these. They come in a case that could easily hold a 140-piece socket set.

The quality of the carrying case is quite good. However, it's so large that I plan to remove the sockets and cut the molded part out and use it as a tool box for larger tools. As for the sockets, I plan to buy a socket holder and store them in my tool-chest.

By the way, if you need a good 6pt 1/2 drive socket set that's not "impact" class, consider the Pittsburgh set at Harbor Freight. When on sale, it's under $20. However, that set excludes some sizes such as 21mm that are incomprehensible.
