Review on πŸ”§ ABN 33mm Axle Nut Socket – Universal 6 Point, 1/2in Drive – Effortless Installation, Removal, Repair for All Vehicles by Tony Wylie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It arrived as described and well packaged. This worked for my use case (Fiat X1/9 engine rebuild)

The price was fantastic and the quality exceeded my expectations. Given the price of <$10 for shipping via Prime (September 2018), I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of quality and fit/finish. I was positively surprised. The nest was strong, well formed and had a pleasing but not perfect finish. Seriously, it was only $9.99. I needed a 38mm 1/2" socket to remove a gear nut on my 1979 Fiat X1/9 engine. I've searched locally but haven't found a suitable 1/2" and 38mm head for Found less than $20. I didn't need a head right away so I checked out Revain and found an ABN axle nut socket head. I ordered the socket and it arrived within 2 days which is what I have come to expect from Revain Prime for 8 years. The head worked very well for removing a stubborn 38mm nut on my 39 year old Italian 4 cylinder engine with 69,000 miles. I didn't bother trying the socket on a manual socket wrench or pry bar, going straight for an Ingersoll-Rand 1/2-inch impact gun instead. This tandem quickly worked with the mother, and the outlet proved safe and sound. My use case is fairly limited as I will only be using the nut to unscrew and eventually reinstall a 38mm nut. However, after a fairly rough first use it shows no signs of damage. To be honest, unless you are a professional mechanic or anyone else who uses 38mm heads for hours every day, this seems like a good option, especially for $9.99!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
