GearWrench 84935N 29-Piece 1/2 Inch Drive 6-Point Deep Impact Socket Set, Metric, Chrome Molybdenum

Under seventy bucks for a full 29-piece metric deep set is unreal. The chrome moly construction takes lug nut duty all day. Laser markings are easy to read even with greasy gloves on.

I run these in a small repair shop and they've outlasted sets costing twice as much. Six-point walls grip rounded-off nuts better than my old 12-points.

Deep sockets fit long studs perfectly. Great sale price.

The sockets themselves are excellent — thick walls, clean machining, no cracking after months of impact use. The blow-mold case hinges feel cheap and one latch popped off already. Tools are the reason you buy, though.

Forty years of turning wrenches and I know good steel when I feel it. These have the heft and black oxide finish of sets I used in the dealership. The deep reach handles lug nuts on spacers and long wheel studs without bottoming out. At 56% off this was cheaper than a single-name-brand socket and I got twenty-nine of them. My son inherited my old set and these are his now — he loves them too.

Quality is fine but the size ordering in the tray is odd and I keep grabbing the wrong one. Also a couple sockets are stiffer to seat on the anvil than others.

The deep wells let me get onto ball joint nuts and axle nuts that shallow sockets couldn't reach. No cracks or rounding after some serious breaker-bar moments.

Set worked great for six months, then the 19 mm cracked at the wall doing lug nuts. GearWrench warranty replaced it, but still frustrating mid-job.

I do my own brakes and tire rotations and this set covers every metric size on my vehicles. The 6-point design hasn't slipped once even on corroded lug nuts from Midwest winters. Worth every penny of the sale price, and honestly worth the regular price too.

These have survived my half-inch impact on construction equipment for a season now. Finish holds up, no splitting. Docking a star only because I'd love a few more common sizes in duplicate.
