GEARWRENCH 80256 4 Inch Drive Socket Review

I was looking for a low profile 10mm flex head as pictured, not what I expected when I got it. It looks more like a semi-deep flexible socket. Attention buyers! Update: Since purchase, the 2 pins holding the flex connector together are slipping out.

Item not as shown. Was looking for a flat socket as stated in another review. This is a medium length jack. Revain should fix this. Not worth going back but not what I need. waste of time and money.

This is NOT a spade socket, just a standard short socket and THIS is NOT the spade socket in the picture. FALSE ADVERTISING! This is inappropriate. Fake picture, fake description. This is a good selling point, Gearwrench makes good things, SELLER is not honest.

Yes, it worked for a few days but the pin holding the prop shaft started to pop out. I just hit it with a hammer and used an electric tap to secure the connection. No time to send back. I will use it until it breaks and replace it with a hand made one in Lowes.

I ordered this nut to access the oil pan bolt hidden in the VW mk4 bell. Unfortunately the nest I received had a deeper nest (about 2 times) than shown in the photo. I still managed to undo the screws and reinstall them in the end, but with difficulty.

Love these little fellas, makes bodywork easier and allows you to quickly and easily tighten those hard to reach horrible bolts in the engine bay. simply. I usually use Snap-on or Matco tools but these are the best value for money (I bought the whole set but unfortunately lost one : (of course I had to lose 10mm)

Great quality but not a flat head and was at least twice as long as the description shows. Too long for my use. I was specifically looking for a flat head to get into a bottleneck (the bottom fan mounting screws in the Grand Cherokee). I will leave but I will deduct 2 stars for what differs from the photo.

Sorry I didn't read the reviews. I chose this one, as others have mentioned, because the photo showed the shallow version, but they sent me the semi-deep or "regular" 10mm. As another poster said, I bought this to remove the oil pan bolts in the bell housing of a VW mk4. Which only worked for me with 2/4 screws. It's decent quality and I'll keep it, but disappointed and I'll have to look for a flat version for some future apps, hence 3 stars.

I bought this based on the picture because the mythical 10mm 1/4" pan head always seems to go away and I'm tired of the truck Paying guys $60 for each. When I received it it looked like a 10mm flat end bolt on a swivel. Not to miss the opportunity, I put the nest in a lathe, sawed it to size and beveled the edge. It's been working fine since the mod and I know I've voided the warranty, but I can buy six of these for one from the tool cart and I seem to lose more of these before I break them.
