Durable Socket for Automotive Needs

Through trial and error I found that the Sunex 480 impact socket is a great addition to my hand tool collection. Its durability is perfect for heavy-duty automotive use. The socket easily fits in tight spaces for easy operation. However, the color-coded ring is not as visible as i would like it to be, which makes identification of socket sizes a bit difficult.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • Not suitable for use on larger sized bolts and nuts

Pros
  • Specialty socket
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
