🔧 Wiha 71996 Socket Set: 9 Piece Hex Metric Drive Sockets - 3/8" & 1/4" - Product Review & Comparison! Review

made these replace some cheap crappy Chinese ones that kept shooting. If these are bands, I can buy new beats. They haven't broken up yet.

Set of two same size bits received - returned. As for the product itself. The bit size is not specified - just the driver size (1/4 or 3/8). The plastic holder is flimsy - the tabs on one end are broken or worn and it won't stay in place.

These are definitely the best fitting Allen sockets I've had and seem very strong. The only issue I have is that they don't stamp or write the size of the bit on the socket, they just write the size of the socket used. At first I was confused when all my beats said 3/8 and 1/4.

These bits appeared to be good quality and have held up well for light work on my car but when I had to use a 10mm 3/8" socket to increase the torque adjust on the hanger bolt It broke before I got the torque required I'll stick with the smaller sizes but high torque applications may require a higher quality brand is a weak point.

I've burned myself many times buying cheap tools. So I don't mind spending a little more for quality, and that's exactly what it is. They fit the screws perfectly, so you don't have to worry about rounding them off or damaging the screw you're trying to tighten or loosen. The sockets themselves look like they have set screws for a real hex bit, so I assume you can replace the bits if they ever become worn or damaged.

I got them for twisting a hex bit from a local Chinese tool store. I supplement my tool collection with tools that last, not tools that break, and I replace them. The Chinese hex bits I've used for years are good, but I'm tired of buying them repeatedly and ending up with a couple of duplicate tools since I buy sets (they're cheap!). So I ran out of 5, 6, 7 and 8mm hex bits, twisted, and a dozen or two spares. Now with the Wiha bits I have a feeling they will last a lot longer as they…
