Vim 8-Piece 3/8-Inch Drive Metric Triple Square Bit Socket Set

BMW Tech: They fit tight with no play so risk of damaging the bolt is minimal. I’ve put them through some good use and they clean up well and show no wear. These are a go-to for tight spaces! I can’t fault them.

Dave Hesson: These things are a must have for German Cars especially Audi, VW etc. In the shop, I have had the pleasure of doing my fair share of timing belts, axles, and brake jobs on these cars, and let me tell you, you can't do a clean job without these sockets. On many newer Audi's and VW's, the axles, crank pulleys and brake calipers are all held on with these triple square bolts. As for these sockets specifically, they are well made and have held up against quite a beating. I use them on impact and air tools regularly, and when using one of them to torque an axle, i was more worried about breaking my matco torque wrench than I was these sockets. They come with a lifetime warranty so I'm secure in knowing it will be replaced. All sockets in this kit fit a 3/8" wrench, but with a good adapter (I use a matco 1/2" to 3/8") they work well with 1/2" tools as well.

Omar Majeed: I bought this set to do some work on the front axles of my Audi. I needed only the 10mm size but the set was only slightly more than buying individual sockets so I took a chance. My thinking was that if it was junk and ended up breaking or such the cost would be justified by quantity.

It turns out they are quite sturdy. The case itself is good and sturdy as well. It does not hold the bits as tight as some of the other cases I have for bits and sockets but it does an adequate job and I didn't have to fight with it while I had my work gloves on. In use, the bolts I needed to get to required all manner of extensions and swivel joints to get at but even without having an ideal angle to work with I was still able to remove and replace with no damage to the bolts or socket.

Overall it feels like a high quality product and I would have no problem purchasing these again.

Steve W.: This set is an amazing deal for quality tools. I've used this set more than a few times this month by installing new suspension on my 2009 MKV Golf GTi as well as to remove the steering wheel this past weekend in order to replace a faulty turn signal stalk. Even after using this on a breaker bar, there's absolutely no sign of wear. Along with the DSG fill tool (VAS6262A) and VCDS; this clearly is one of the most important tools a VW/Audi owner should own. A note though for those doing suspension work: this kit does not include a strut spreader; a tool used to spread the clamp that holds the strut onto the hub. You can use a 1/4" to 3/8" step down adapter instead, but i had to still fight with the strut assembly.

Chris Devries: I purchased this set of bits because I needed a M12 12-point bit to remove the steering wheel from my MKIV VW Golf (and I didn't want to pay $12 for just one bit at the local shop). They work well, appear to be of good quality and are somewhat necessary if you plan to do your own maintenance on a VW (and some other marks). I am just an amateur "mechanic" so I can't really say how they hold up compared to professional bits but they look solid as far as I can tell.
