Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool 7412 12-Piece 1/4" Drive Flex Socket Set - 6 Point - Metric - Improved SEO-Compatible Product Name by Gabriel Elliott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5 year upgrade as a full-time technician

I have been using this set almost daily for 5 years. Do yourself a favor, remove the screws and use Loctite. If you don't want to waste your time doing this, don't consider a set of swivel outlets for under $40. The set is excellent for the money spent. I broke one and it was my fault. I applied a 3/8 air blast by forcing in 400 ft/lbs of torque with an adapter. Don't do it, it has no effect. Surprisingly I did this several times and it continued until 1 time was too much. Apparently this screw was a bit tighter than the others. That being said I couldn't be sad as I can get about 13 of these sets for the price of 1 Snapon. Highly recommended, even without a guarantee. My 10mm has worn heavily to the point where the etch is almost gone, but I still use it on almost every 10mm screw. Since they are so cheap I also changed mine to half depth for an extremely low profile and it still works well. Thank you Astro for making a solid kit at such a low price.
