The Quinn set from Harbor Freight is a better deal IMO when it's on sale... Easier warranty also
Easier warranty and if you have the membership about the same price with the 40% off days, however the quality isnt the same. Project farm and torque test did a comparison including these.
These are good sockets, however, I personally am not a huge fan of the laser etching. Since sockets with heavy use can lose the etching over time when used in tight quarters. Then you have to try to fill in the stamped markings with pain marker to make them easier to see quickly.
While I have never needed to warranty an impact socket from GearWrench, I have needed to warranty a chrome socket due to a sizing issue from manufacturing. I sent an email, with a photo, within a day or so I got an email back asking for my address information. Once I provided my information a new socket arrived in the mail like 2 or 3 days later. I was instructed to toss the defective socket. It was pretty easy, but definitely not as quick/easy as HF's in store exchange process.
That being said, my "go to" impact socket set is the Milwaukee set that goes on sale from time to time. It has colored, imprinted markings right out the box that I just prefer over these. Plus the milwaukee carry case is a bit sturdier and better organized. That's the set I carry around in my daily driver.
For the record, I am not a pro mechanic. I just like to tinker with cars in my free time, and I own a couple of bimmers... so of course that means I have a lot of required under the hood time. HAHAHA!

I had bought the Quinn set and returned it. I then bought this set and it is much better than the Quinn. This is very good set of 3/8 impact sockets and at this price it is very good buy. They work great with my M12 Stubby, M12 High Speed Ratchet and with 3/8 adapters in my impact drivers. Remember, friends don't let friends use chrome sockets on impact tools.

What made you return the Quinn set? I was considering waiting for the sale price again since I'm not in a rush for a 3/8 set, but that'd require me to also get a 3/8 impact wrench 😁

I think the Quinn set is great since I have owned it. I have used it several times already with my M12 impact. I don't think you can go wrong at the sale price.
