Review on CTA Tools 4329 Socket 16Mm Swivel by Doug Hinrichsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool, quality at a reasonable price

Great tools, have both 14mm and 5/8" drives and the ball joint is way better and smoother than any of my other swivels and if it is about it. Spark plugs need a gentle twist, otherwise the ceramic can crack so quickly. I don't buy cheap tools, it's not worth it if they cost money because of broken parts, broken tools, rounded fasteners, hard-to-reach places, etc. I'm a professional mechanic and CTA tools are a great option for everyone. Everyone can use this high quality and solid construction. They produce quality tools to get the job done right the first time, at an affordable price. Gearwrench is another high-end tool alongside Proto/Stanley, but stick to the prototypes, Gearwrench are apex tools. So if you didn't know they were, go ahead. Apex is compared to Matco, Snap On, Cornwell, Mac, Sk Tools, etc. among all professional tool manufacturers. And cta is a lesser known company like Gray Pneumatics and ASTRO Pneumatics both great tools and even Sunex has quality tools that can't beat their prices. But I think cta is a European favorite so I'm glad they're being used here in the US now.
