Unreliable Socket Falls Short in Automotive Repairs

As a result of my tests, I determined that this socket is not reliable enough to use in automotive repairs. While it may work a few times, it easily strips and does not hold up well under pressure. Automotive repairs require precise and dependable tools, and unfortunately, this socket falls short in delivering on those requirements.

Pros
  • N/A
Cons
  • Easily strips and unreliable.

I bought 2 thinking they would break or crack

I bought 2 thinking they would break or crack and found these parts very strong I had to use 150 6 inch long 5/16-e lag bolts drive with it was perfect and there was no torx bit rounding at all

Pros
  • heads and socket sets
Cons
  • upgrades

Good tool but not for C4 Targas.

SK tools are of high quality as is this long Torx T40 bit. For my application this tool does NOT work. I have a C4 Corvette and the top of the Targa uses T40 bolts. The front screws are countersunk and require a long Torx to access. Unfortunately the shank of this long SK T40 is too "thick" to fit in the hole to reach the bolt :-(Like a long T40 bit, it's great. For my application it didn't work.

Pros
  • Custom sockets
Cons
  • Low repairability
