Ugly but get the job done Review by Chris

They are not as fancy as some name brand sockets but if you priced out a set of those from 10-36 you'd be looking at spending a couple times more. My complaints are: there isn't a notch for the detent of a ratchet on 3 sides of the drive so sockets can slip off a ratchet unless you line up the detent with the hole on one side of the socket. Some of the different socket sizes have the same outside diameter so the wall thickness isn't optimized for each individual socket size, just not a sign of quality. The good things about these sockets are: They are flank drive which translates to more power transferred to the loosening or tightening of a fastener from an air impact gun, also less chance of rounding a fastener. They seem to be every bit as beefy as the name brand version, hopefully the steel is as good also but who knows. The lifetime warranty is a bit confusing, the manufacturer says to submit all warranty claims to the retailer you originally purchased from, and the retailer says the warranty is through the manufacturer only. I haven't broken any yet but it will be interesting to find out if I can get someone to honor the warranty, especially with the way businesses come and go these days.
