Impact Sockets

I am looking into getting some 1/2 drive impact sockets any recommendations or any sets you guys have that u would buy again 🙂 have a good one thanks for stopping by

I’m in the same boat. I keep looking at Sunex and Gearwrench. I’d buy Toptul but the unofficial official US dealer doesn’t carry SAE sockets.

They’re the OEM for Lowe’s Taiwan ratchets.

3/8″ Impact sockets(He may still have 1/2″ in stock or coming): http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOPTUL-GDAD1201-3-8-Drive-Deep-Metric-Impact-Socket-Set-in-Metal-Case-8-19mm-/112205298402?hash=item1a1ff4fae2:g:1XwAAOSwhkRWdwOk

You can’t really see the quality in impact sockets but look at the quality of their wrenches and the price on those deep sockets!(not my pic)

damn they look good quality i was thinking of maybe sk sockets but damn it costs an arm and a leg 🙂 

IR makes some good ones 

Almost all of my impact sockets are sunex rebrands and I don’t have a single complaint with them. I would highly reccomend them.

Good call, Northern Tool has Sunex rebrands called T&E

Just follow the deals. As long as you’re getting chrome molybdenum rather than standard chrome vanadium you should be good to go. I’ve read many places that the former doesn’t fail as easily as the latter. 

Keep an eye out for sunex deals. Check the clearance at CPO regularly. I got a smoking deal from CPO on my impact sockets from them. I have Five kits from sunex and have never had a problem. Amazon also occasionally has deals on them as well. I have four harbor freight sets that I still use frequently with no issues if you are looking for sunshiny cheap.

Ingersoll Rand Master Impact Set. Buy one of these and you won’t need anything else…

I own snap on, Tekton and just a couple months ago I bought some sunex 3/8 impact set, I’ve used the crap out of my tekton set at the shop from bolting down cars and trucks on the frame rack and the clamps that pull the car need high power for safe clamping of the cars and these tekton sockets have not failed I haven’t even pulled out my snap ons in about a year now since I’ve owned these and u can’t beat the price either

Don’t know, haven’t priced the set yet. I work for O’Reilly and our employee discount is shockingly huge on some stuff. I want the IR set but haven’t asked what my price is…

Seriously nothing wrong with getting a harbor freight set and then replacing them with higher end ones if they ever break. I use my HF ones more than any other of my sockets.

Oh man I forgot about the HF ones! Yea those work great also my buddy at work owns the pro set and I don’t think he’s broken one yet
