Impressed so far Sockets and Socket Sets

I've wanted to spend more on a Cr-Mo set but I don't really use my dents in cars except for absolute necessity or absolute convenience. I haven't had them that long and I'll update this if there are any issues, but so far I'm very happy with my purchase. I did the basic stuff with them, but I was curious to see if the Cr-V could handle the big wrench on the awful Honda bolt, so I pulled out a 19mm wrench on a Milwaukee and put that in head on the crankshaft pulley bolt. 4 hits and gone. 5 or 6 years ago I tried just that with everything under the sun, pneumatics, a giant jumper and even removing the engine fuses without a starter with a breaker stuck in the frame on that bolt with my neighbor's good punch head and it smashed into the socket . The socket from this set looked almost unused! Very satisfied and impressed with what you get for your money. It's very nice to have a consistent set even though I never use either size. It's just good that there is such a possibility. If you want to read the backstory and the story of how I got the aforementioned Milwaukee 2767-20 in a brand new kit for a ridiculously cheap price, read on below! I came across two deals I couldn't refuse. on a local buy/sell/trade platform for two impact wrenches. I've been working on my car quite a bit and just finished installing about $1200 worth of suspension, steering and rear hub components. I work here and there on friends and family's cars like I'm happy with the repairs, it saves them a lot of money and they usually force me to give tips I don't want to take. So I saved that money, and in the last month and a half I've saved about $500 on auto repairs alone. I used to have a 10 gammon supercharger that could let through enough CFM to handle a decent Ingersoll Rand air shock given me somewhere around 600 ft/lb, but my supercharger died about 6 months ago and it still was old and loud. I've never used a strike except to loosen the suspension bolts, some engine pulley elements, axial thrust here or there and lug nuts, obviously for convenience, but I'd do fine with a breaker and a cheat tube if I looked through the ads on any of the local apps for sale and came across a Kobalt impact wrench kit with tools, battery, charger and case, all new in a $75 box. Well I can't pass by so I took it. The very next day I looked at a pretty good graphics card I found and spun it in my head as I upgraded and saw the Milwaukee 2767-20 kit with tools, 2 x5ah batteries, charger and new hard case. in a box for $170. I thought it was a scam and it was only a 2 minute ad so I checked out the seller and he had about 200 good reviews. So I offered $160 and they said the $170 company was a steal but she had to go because he was fixing his garage. I made an appointment at Walmart and drove for 35 minutes, confident that it was a no-show, a two-tiered product, or that a gun would be pointed at me (again) this time. Arrived, his car was as described (super nice and brand new infiniti.) and he got the right thing out of it. I asked him directly why is it so cheap? He gets samples of instruments all the time through his work and already has tens of thousands of dollars in his garage, so he sells them cheap locally and puts all the money into his kids' college funds. Well, if they're stylized I wasn't sure, so it's not my fault! Swapped it out, took it apart, and it really worked like it was supposed to. So for $245 I got about $600 worth of brand new stuff. And I have an impact wrench that's way too powerful for everything I do, but damn it's fun!

Pros
