Review on Hex Bit Socket Set LIS33850 by Warren Hess

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lyle doesn't make them the way they used to.

I usually use snap on tools but I also have many Lisle specialty tools which have always been of very good quality. Unfortunately, this set of Lisle hex sockets is a far cry from the quality I was once used to from Lisle. A 5mm bolt will not fit in a 5mm socket head bolt because it is too big and the 10mm bolt crumbled and split under low torque applied with a 3/8 ratchet. I had a 10mm warranty at my local parts store and the replacement also broke on first use. Hard to believe they are made in the USA.

Pros
  • Hand Tool
Cons
  • Expensive
