CARBYNE Piece Extra Long Socket Review

Very nicely finished and the fact that it's made in Taiwan and not China is a real plus. You could spend a lot more on other big brands (like $100+ for similar sets) and probably not get better quality.

I use it very often. They have withstood the highest torques. Quality on par with any American. Some complain that they are difficult to pull out of the case. When you pull them off the ends, they usually pop out.

Arrived quickly in a nice case. Good quality at first glance. I got her to work on frozen 1/8 hex head screws in an old grill. Combined with a propane torch, these complex screws were no match for the extra-long hex bits. (I had previously rounded a few screws with cheaper hex bits).

They look high quality and durable, but only use proves it. They are made with the same shank as the bit rather than a reduced shank on the end of a larger shank. For example, reduced shanks will never fit into a deep set screw hole. I made that mistake once and have never forgotten it. So far so good with these.

They work very well, which is not always the case with tools in this price range. I hired the metrics a while ago and they have been put to the test by taking my bike apart and reassembling it half a dozen times to find out what the bike is having after not having been ridden for over a year and they Don't even let me down So I picked up this SAE set to add to my collection. I am sure they will do just as well.

I've seen other people comment on how good these bits are and decided to take a chance and order them and i am not disappointed. I have to use them all the time for work and I haven't broken one yet. The twist that many long bits make when tightening is barely noticeable and the size is perfect. They're just as good as snap-on hexes, but I like them better because they're rounded to a hex point, which makes driving bolts easier. The downside of a round shape is that if it breaks, you can't just

Haven't used this in the field yet, will update if needed. First, great price. The tools are made in Taiwan, which I've always taken as a great indicator of quality. Anyway, the cover is good, but hmm. The latches on the case have me worried about how it will perform in the long run. I'll be posting how things are going in the field soon. One thing that initially bothered me was that on the smaller ones the shank was round instead of hex which made repairing the tool in the field a unique…
