Williams 30599 Shallow 6 Point Socket Review

This socket disappointed me greatly. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I was able to quickly identify the low quality of this product. The socket didnt grip well and skewed under tension due to its shallow design. While it may work for light jobs, it's not suitable for the heavy-duty work required in automotive repairs..

This SOCKET doesn't last long... It cannot withstand heavy-duty use in automotive works. Although the price is cheap, its quality is not worth the purchase..

Williams is part of the Snap-On family so you know it's good. Exactly what the description says: 5.5mm hex, although by 'flat' it seems they mean thin walled, not short. My Craftsman 5.5mm is actually about 2mm shorter, but the sidewalls are slightly thicker. When working in tight spaces, wall thickness can make a big difference. The only improvement I would suggest would be to make the size more readable like the newer Husky, Kobalt, Craftsman etc. This earns it fifth place. Star.
