Best Drive Sockets
TEKTON impact sockets efficiently transfer torque from impact wrench to fastener, loosening the most stubborn nuts and bolts. Made from high-strength chrome vanadium steel, our impact sockets are more resistant to drive end round out than standard impact sockets, resulting in a longer useable life. Drive Deep Chrome Vanadium Sockets are built for use with impact wrenches to loosen the most stubborn fasteners without stripping them. Made from forged and heat treated chrome vanadium steel with a corrosion-resistant black phosphate finish.

"I have not used this yet but I needed it for changing the tires on our cars.We have 4 cars all have different size lugs.I had to try and get the lug off the Neon and had to use a breaker bar to get it off.It took a 19mm socket which I have.So now I have all I need for the other cars.I never want to be stuck like that again.The tire people put 200ft pounds torque on the lug nuts which is 100 ft pounds.I could not get the lugs loose with the X wrench ."

"Definitely a good pick up to make a job faster and a little easier."
"Torque rating is painted on each tool and the tools are color coded so you won't accidentally grab the wrong one."
"The 80 ft-lb stick is consistently giving me 76-78 ft-lbs with my battery powered electric impact allowing me to finish torque my lugs to 85 with my torque wrench."
"I tested these against a torque wrench that was just calibrated and they were all very close."
"Nicely Packaged and Quality Build."
"If you don't need every torque rating to be super-precise on a variety of vehicles, this basic set will work fine."

"First, the set looks to be high quality--especially the ratchets--and you can't beat having a lifetime warranty. Of course, if I wanted to return it Amazon would have enabled that at no cost to me, but since these tools have a lifetime warranty and the wear was very slight, I'm fine with keeping them."
"If you've ever had the experience of owning other sets where the sockets don't lock, you know it's a nightmare when you open/close the case."
"Durable and functional, with few overlapping sockets or pointless redundancies (Craftsman tool sets, I'm looking at you.)."
"Had to use my new socket set today for my first project, and it was SO nice to finally have all of my sockets in one easy to carry place and not just scattered in a drawer in my tool chest in the garage."
"The wrenches could have used a more smooth finish, they felt like they were forged and hardly deburred after, but still solid feeling also."
"An excellent set for the price."
"Great little portable tool kit about a step below Craftsman in quality."

The tool's socket contains 54 hardened steel spring pins for long-lasting durability. As the fastener is turned, the torque is transmitted through the outer pins to the walls of the socket, making this socket an ideal choice for heavy-duty personal or professional use.

"Loved it so much that I ordered 3 more - one for my car, one for my son, and an extra."
"You don't even have to be properly lined-up with the bolt for this thing to work!"
"Tried to buy the cheap cheap one on a lighting deal."
"Great quality, a little hard to get over bolts but easy enough once you get use to it."
"Have not been able to use a lot yet, but it definitely grabs and turns things other connections cannot in the few times I have tested it."
"Had to replace a broken toilet seat anchor for a discontinued Kohler low profile one piece toilet."
"The first time I used this the little 'prongs' in side stuck down (not all but most of them) and I had to pry them back up."
