Swollen nut shelf

Swollen nuts can hurt 19.5mm and 21.5mm works great. I wish 19.5mm and 19.5mm were together, but for some reason 19.5mm is with 18.5mm. Anyway, still works great for swollen nuts.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • 0

Great little flip socket set!

Great set for the price and I would highly recommend it over the truck set just for the cost. I deal with cars in the rust belt and see a lot of swollen nuts. The only thing I would prefer would be 19 and 19.5 instead of 19.5 and 18.5. Will update if I have durability issues.

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Expensive

It costs three times more!

If you've ever dealt with swollen nuts on a Ford or Chrysler, you know how frustrating it can be. That set of heads saved the day many times. This is time saving at the highest level. Gone are the days of banging your head on a swollen nut. These half sizes are perfect for a puffy protrusion.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Unsure

very useful: tools and gear

I work as a tire fitter and work all day with lots of cleats of different sizes, it makes it easy to quickly find what I need and quickly change sizes. I put a lot of torque on them and had no problem breaking them. If you have a Ford, Jeep or Dodge I highly recommend these as they have a small decorative cover that deforms.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons

breaks easily on tools and equipment

I'm a mechanic at a Ford dealership with 30 years of experience. Basically this tool is very useful, anyone who works on cars in areas prone to corrosion knows that flare nuts tend to swell and require 1/2 sockets to remove. However, after using this tool for several months, an electrical outlet broke and shortly after, the extension cord broke. I called the CTA manufacturer to inquire about the warranty and was told to contact Revain that the warranty was expired. I contacted Revain and theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Reliability

Also Known As Ford/Chrysler Tip Removal Kit

This kit is essential for any breakdown technician or workshop. Virtually most Ford/Landrover vehicles and every Chrysler product are victims of the proverbial swollen nut. This kit helps with slightly swollen and even slightly flattened ears. There are even regular sizes included to use as a traditional set, but I'd rather just keep this set if needed. The kit pays for itself VERY quickly in the time saved. It's short and sweet - my colleagues laughed at me for it at first. Now they asked howโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Hard to say

Lifebuoy Tool Kit

If you're a mechanic dealing with horribly swollen nuts on many Ford and Chrysler vehicles, you basically have two choices: hammer in the right size head and trouble the remove nut after you have taken it out or you can buy them. After trying the first option a couple of times, you will immediately understand the need for this tool. I've seen pictures here of the glitch some people have experienced, but I haven't encountered any problems myself. I have to say these are VERY thin wall socketsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Negative Impression
