NEIKO 02330A 1/2 Impact Socket Set, 45 Piece Deep and Shallow Assortment, Metric Sizes 9mm to 32mm, Chrome Vanadium Steel, Extension Bars, Universal Joint and Adapter, 1/2" Drive Deep Well Set

I'm not a mechanic, and I'm not wealthy. Had to replace the transmission myself, so needed to aquire the tools to do it. I definitely put them to use, and now we have a working vehicle again.I personally don't care to do anything like that again, but if I have to, I have the tools for it.

I already used it a couple of times and really like it. It has just about every metric socket I need plus the extensions and a wobble joint. Good price for all that you get.

I picked this socket set up along with an "Amazon Special" 1/2" drive impact driver last week to help me replace the sacrificial anode in my hot water heater. Simple brute force wouldn't budge the bolt and no breaker bar of any worth could be used in the limited space. Solution - impact driver! I would have rather purchased a set from a known US company instead of another no-name Chinese one, but I couldn't find a set that included sockets over 1" so I went with this one.First off, the box is HEAVY. That's a good thing! It means there is a sizable amount of steel in there. The cardboard shipping box had blown out one end and I was surprised the set was still inside it untouched. The case is reasonable, with a good set of latches keeping everything secure. Nothing rattles when shaken. Inside the case there is a thin piece of foam laying between the sockets and the case cover, keeping everything in place. The sockets are coated with a thin, slightly sticky oil to keep them from rusting. Don't try to clean it off. Leave it there to do its job. It kind of reminded me of cosmoline, but not as bad!Like I said earlier, the impact driver I got is a no-name Chinese Amazon special, but claims to put out up to 320 ft-lbs of torque. I mated the socket to the driver and went to town on the hot water heater. Being my first experience using an impact driver, I expected the bolt to come out quickly. Nope, not happening. I ended up hammering on the bolt for a good 20-30 seconds with the trigger fully pulled before I finally started seeing rotation. The 20 year old anode bolt finally did come out (in one piece) and I immediately saw why it was so damned tight - no Teflon tape was used on the threads! It was bare steel-on-steel threads, most likely installed with another impact driver!Replaced the anode and made sure Teflon tape was used this time around. Used a regular ratchet wrench to hand-tighten the bolt. No leaks! Took a close look at the socket afterwards and no worse for wear. We'll see what the next job will be, but I have a feeling that I'll be replacing the driver LONG before I have to get another socket set!

These are exceptional for the price and they could charge more and have it still be a fantastic value. I was going to spend more on a Cr-Mo set, but I really don't use my impacts on cars much except for either absolute necessity or absolute convenience. I haven't had them long, and I will update this should issues arrive, but so far I am very pleased with my purchase. I've done the basic things with these, but was curious to see if cr-v would handle the big wrench on the dreaded Honda bolt, so I popped the 19mm on the Milwaukee, and set the socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt. 4 impacts and off it went. 5 or 6 years ago, I tried this exact thing with everything under the sun, pneumatic, huge cheater bar, and even removing motor fuses sans the starter with a breaker bar jammed into the frame on this bolt with my neighbor's nice impact socket and it split the socket... The socket from this kit hardly looked used!Very satisfied and impressed with what you get for your money. It is really nice having a sequential set even if I may never use one of the sizes. It's just good to have the option.If you want to read some backstory and a story about how I got the aforementioned Milwaukee 2767-20 in a brand new kit for ridiculously cheap, read below!I stumbled across two deals I couldn't refuse on local buy/sell/trade platform for two impact wrenches. I work on my car a fair bit, and just finished up installing about $1200 worth of suspension, steering, and rear hub components. I work on the cars of friends and family here and there, too, as if I'm comfortable with the repair, it saves them a ton of money and they usually force a tip I don't want to take... So I saved that money and has around $500 saved from just car repairs the last month and a half. I used to have a 10 gammon compressor that could flow enough CFM to handle a decent Ingersoll Rand pneumatic impact that I was given with somewhere around 600 ft/lb, but my compressor died about 6 months ago and it was old and loud anyway. I didn't really ever use an impact except for loosening suspension bolts, some engine pulley stuff, an axle rod here or there, and lug nuts obviously for the convenience, but I would do just fine with a breaker bar and a cheater pipe if need be.I was browsing listings on one of the local selling apps and came across a kobalt impact wrench kit with the tool, battery, charger, and bag all new in box for $75. Well, can't pass that up, so I grabbed that. The very next day I was looking at a pretty nice video card I found and was rolling that around in my mind when I refreshed and saw a Milwaukee 2767-20 kit with the tool, 2 x5ah batteries, a charger, and the hard case new in box for $170. Figured it to be a scam and it was only a 2 minute old listing, so I looked at the seller and they had like 200 all good reviews. So I offered $160, and they said $170 firm is already a steal, but it has to go because he's organizing his garage. I set up the meet at a Walmart, and drove 35 minutes thinking for sure it's a no show or a bunk product or I'm going to have a gun pointed at me (again...) this time... Got there, his car was as described (a super nice and new infinity...), And there he brought out the real deal. I asked him straight up why is it so inexpensive? He gets tools all the time as samples through his job, and he already has tens of thousands of dollars worth in his garage, so he sells them cheap locally and puts all the money in his kids' college funds. Well, if they are stilen, I sure didn't know that so I'm not culpable! Made the exchange, took the thing out, and it really did work as it should.So for $245, I got about $600 worth of stuff brand new. And got an impact wrench that is way too powerful for anything I'm doing, but darnit it's fun to have!

It does the job that I need i have not had any issues with these Sockets breaking man fitment is good

This is a great impact socket set. I had a small impact socket set, but they were not deep sockets. I needed deep sockets and didn't want to have to carry 2 sets, so I thought this was a great set to replace the small set. I am glad I bought it. I love that they don't skip any sizes in the smaller sockets (9mm to 24mm). I have several socket sets that skip at least a couple sizes in the set.This set is heavy, there is a lot of metal in the case. The case is sturdy and closes so that the sockets can't come loose. I have a 201 piece socket set made by Stanley. Every time I open it, at least 1 socket comes loose, even the case is molded to hold the sockets in place.I had heard of the brand, but didn't have anything they made. I was optimistic after reading the reviews and I was glad I decided to get this set. It is a very complete set and should last me a long time. I am not a mechanic, but I try to do all the work on our vehicles. Having good tools makes every job easier.I will certainly look to Neiko for other tool needs.

Excellent product & highly recommend it
