Review on πŸ”§ Ares 12044 - 30MM Axle Nut Socket - High Performance 12 Point Socket - Extra Deep 1/2-Inch Drive Impact Socket for Effortless Axle Shaft Nut Removal by John Anaya

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bad quality control?

Surprised by the high number of 4 and 5 star ratings for this product. I bought it partly because of the overall good rating. Maybe I got one of the bad ones. The one I received was a very loose fit on my Milwaukee pig ring impact wrench. If I tilt the impact wrench straight down, the nut will fall off with the slightest jerk or movement. After being used once, drive 1/2 shows signs of impact due to a loose fit on the anvil. Also, it fits loose enough on a 30mm nut. Then again, I may have gotten one of the bad tools that passed quality control, but don't cross your fingers when you order a tool and hope you don't get a bad one. Based on this experience, I will probably not buy Ares instruments again in the future.
