The difference between 3/4" and 19mm is literally splitting hairs. For that reason, many combined sets will skip the 19mm.

Looks like it skips 10, 19, and 22. There are standard size equivalents for those but I would find that very annoying personally.

I have owned their 3/8 socket set [amazon.com]and can vouch that they are made of decent quality and hold up well. They are impact rated but are Chrome - Vanadium. Highly rated impact sockets are Chrome - Molybdenum. Paid $12.60 then and are a dollar cheaper now.

I have the same feeling. After some thought gave up on it. No 22 in metric was also not welcome.

There shouldn't be any reason not to be able to get the 1/2" drive sockets onto your 1/2" drive impact, but if you were trying to get the 3/8" drive sockets on there, well that's.... a different story.

It's most likely the fact that occasionally certain hog-ring anvils have a slightly expanded hog-ring on the impact, which often requires you to align the drive ends and then slam your palm hard on the front of the socket to seat it.
That's pretty normal for those who have been working with impacts all their life.

I can't see the quality control or machining being that 'off' on the socket's drive end to where "another set" would cure your issue.
Sounds like you're being 'too gentle' with them.99% of the time the problem is in the expanded hog-ring.

you are talking a $30 set vs. $100 set.


Sorry, but no. I have a set of SUNEX 1/4 and 3/8 ... both cost me much less than $100 and will last a lifetime. My Gearwrench 1/" set (weighs about 30 pounds) cost a few over $100.

The sockets listed in this thread are VERY LOW end. If you want to buy once and only once ... don't buy these.

I bought THE CHEAPEST set of 1/2" impact sockets on ebay about 5-6 years ago. I think I paid $13.00 for them shipped. It's a 12 piece Metric set with case. Been using the heck out of them since then. I do far more than your average shade-tree mechanic. I've done several suspensions, steering and axle work, motor mounts, etc,.. you name it. They are still going strong.

It came with 10mm. It's just pre-lost.
