TEKTON 3/8 Inch 12-Piece Deep 6-Point Impact Socket Set, 5/16-Inch to 1-Inch (47920)

JonSean: There is really nothing I can complain about. They are expensive but the price is right. I have put them to HARD use for months and they don't show any signs of wear. Just paint scratches on the outside when I have used them up against hard steel.

You can get thinner sockets if you really need the extra millimeter of clearance (sometimes I do) But you won't beat the quality and durability of these.

Geekwood: Sockets are very nice use daily and have held up working on semi’s and equipment.

Dipdip Dizzywizzle: I like Tekton as a company. They make great tools for the money. As a mechanic, I generally try not to buy foriegn made tools but generally what Tekton doesn't make here they make in Taiwan, not China. That's preferable for many reasons.
I took a shot on this socket set as a "beater" deep socket set. They have suprisingly become my go to deep sockets! They have a deep broach (little less than old American made craftman sockets which were the best) and much more than newer Snap-on (junk). More on that below.
These have endured a year + of daily beating and still look new with no rounding or visible wear. They're better sockets than the price would suggest. I'd love to see Tekton make a professional line that was American made and decently priced (like the old Craftsman).

So about broach depth (how far down a nut can go into the socket) - Snap-on a few years ago tried to pull a fast one and market their deep sockets with a shallow broach. It's terrible. Their pitch was that the socket would "hold the nut" at the end of the socket so it wouldn't slide down the socket while trying to thread it on and won't get stuck down in the socket (never happens - use a pick). Well,...

Definitely Not A Robot: I have had these sockets for a couple years now. I am not a mechanic by trade, but am wrenching on something every weekend. I'll be honest, I am harder on a lot of sockets than most need to be. I have a back injury that keeps me from pulling/pushing on tools the way most would, so when I have bolts that are in spaces my impact won't make it to, I have to get creative. Sometimes I use a jack to push a ratchet and loosen a fastener, sometimes run a lengthy cheater bar, or sometimes I beat on it with my trusty sledgehammer. Whatever it takes. In the last couple years, my truck and street car have undergone full builds with these methods and I have yet to have a single issue with any of these sockets. I have abused box store brands(Stanley, Craftsman, Husky) the same and the sockets eventually crack, or round. These are a whole other caliber of tool than your average box store sets in my opinion. My whole upper drawer of my box is nothing but Tekton sockets, and they're all tough as I could ask them to be. Not an issue with any of them in the last few years of abuse. I could not recommend these more.

Side note: While I haven't had to warranty any sockets, I did have to warranty...

Amazonlover99: These are good as medium deep sockets for suspension work etc. Sometimes you need a deep socket, but you also don't have too much room to work under, so you want a deep socket that isn't too deep. That's where these come in. The deep sockets they sell at HD, under the Husky brand, are deeper than these Tekton ones, but its good to have both for various situations you might run into.

I can certainly say the quality of these Tekton sockets is extremely good. You can tell when you pick them up that they aren't cheap and will last a long time. I would recommend.

Ken: This is a fantastic set of impact socket. For the price, you can't go wrong. I could buy the same set from Snap-Off for $300, but these do the job so well, why bother. I'm using them in the big rig diesel technician territory, and I'll update this review if something changes as per quality or other things. Only one this that I dislike about these sockets is that they are laser etched for the sizes, and the etching can get scratched off if you're throwing you sockets around or using them in a deep hole where the walls make contact with the outside. But that's not a deal breaker for me yet.

brian: There are three reasons I like Tekton impact sockets. First, although I have never broken one, their warranty process is amazing. All you need to do is send a picture and it is mailed out to you same day or next day, depending on the time. This is a best in class warranty. This also applies to their customer support outside of warranty. You get a response in a very timely manner, usually within one business day in my experience.

Second, these sockets handle some hard work. I don't want to use the phrase take abuse, but you can work these sockets hard. The only failure I have has with these sockets was actually a break in the extension I was using. The socket itself had no signs of excessive wear or damage. Just a bit of coating rubbed off which is normal wear.

Third is a combo one, the price of these sockets is very competitive and there are rarely skips in sizes in sets. Many brands skip less commonly used sizes in efforts to bring price down, but Tekton keeps that competitive price and still delivers a full no skips set.

I also own Craftsman, Husky, ProValue and less than a handful of Blue-Point impact sockets, most of which come in at a higher price. I...
