Hard to find! Exactly what you need!

Works great. Difficult to find a fixing U-joint. Holds a "chain" of sockets together. Never throw sockets in your car again.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Good but not great

So far best satisfied with universal joints and parts

Overall the finish of the tool makes a professional impression. Until I dropped the socket and it holds up well. I would consider it a well constructed tool set at this stage of use. The review was done by a large car technician (husband bought).

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Great addition to your toolbox

I'm always looking for tools to help me when the time comes. I use this set in combination with my lock extensions and I find this combination the best. The only thing that would make these universal joints better is if they also had magnets on the ends. I am very happy with the set and would recommend it for your tool kit.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Hard to say

Good design - gearing and powertrain

As another reviewer noted, 1/4 won't grab or hold most heads. But works great with 1/4 toothed wrench sets, 12 point sockets, SAE or metric. Find out. Supplied with a plastic holder with a transparent cover. Imagine using a 24" extension with a universal end and your latch on the socket falls out and is never seen again. It is best to use this universally on the lockable end of the extension cable. So nothing can fall down.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not the best

The 1/4 " universal joint with detent is not fixed.

The 1/4" universal joint will not snap into any of my outlets. Have had 1/4" with the Tried the following brands: Craftsman, Harbor Freight, Carlyle, Koken, Metrinch, Gearwrench and MAC. 3/8 and 1/2 still seem to work, although some heads have a very loose fit. I am a service mechanic in the food industry, if you are looking for something professional or high quality I would turn them down.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
