Simple Impact Hex Socket Set, Long & Short

This set of long and short socket extensions has performed well and has withstood high torque loads during testing so far. I tested the 1/2" extension with a good quality impact wrench and was able to remove and install the lug nuts without damaging them at all. The plastic holders are a bit cheap but they work well and are labeled to keep the bits in order. All bits are also labeled, which is actually not necessary, since you can see their size immediately. Not the best Gearwrench product I've used, but certainly not bad. If they were unbranded and sold at a discount tool store I wouldn't know they were a higher quality brand like GW. I'm happy with them so far and tend to use my socketed impact wrench so they've come in handy. The ball bearings on them are good and will hold the bushings in place even under high torque or fast spin with no load.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
