This is the cheapest I've seen for a chrome moly impact set this size.
Free shipping on $50+.

There's also a shallow set on sale to hit the free shipping:

Powerbuilt is a low end consumer brand like Pittsburgh. Probabley made out of the same Chinesium metal factory, but chrome-molybdenum is very durable and it's what you want for larger impact sockets. It's nice that it doesn't skip the sizes that you would use most. Good deal as a shade tree mechanic starter set.

Thanks. I'll only use it on family cars

The deep well is sold out. And the $10 shipping fee kills the deal, there's a cheaper set on Amazon for $23 shipped

That's not a chrome moly set tho.
It's chrome vanadium. Significant difference.

Wrong! There are multiple CRM impact socket sets in the $20s on Amazon. Please refrain from sharing incorrect information.

"Please refrain...." LOL.

The description reads, "This set is assembled from a mix of chrome-molybdenum and chrome-vanadium sockets – both hard, high-strength alloys..."

Leaves me wondering how many of each.

They are just covering themselves for having products from different suppliers.
Milwaukee labels their impacts as "high strength forged steel" They want to be free to use whatever Chinesium they get their hands on. It keeps both their product labeling but also all the 3rd party website descriptions of their products from being inaccurate.

Both Cr-V & Cr-Mo can make perfectly good Chrome plated hand tools or Black Oxide finished impact tools.

The metallurgical difference between chromed hand tools & impacts is not so much differences in the initial alloy rather the heat treating. Also they are just plain shaped physically different with impacts having thicker walls.

Thank you for the explanation. TBH I never even looked at what sockets were made of prior to this post. I only brought it up because the selling point in the OP and replies was this was a good deal because they were chrome moly-- which may r may not be the case.

The picture shows up to 22mm, the sockets are mostly Cr-Mo. The larger sockets sizes are Cr-V. The sockets which would get the most use do appear to be Cr-Mo.
