GEARWRENCH 48 Pc. 1/4" Drive 6 Pt. Impact Socket Set, Standard & Deep, SAE/Metric - 84902

Very impressed with the quality and design. I bought this 1/4" set to to use with my impact driver as well as with my hand drivers. I work around the water on my boat and around docks often and dropping a socket usually means it is gone forever. These sockets have the detent hole as seen on larger 3/8 and 1/2 sockets. When working around a space where losing the socket may happen I use my driver with a locking pin. The locking pin secures it and wont let go until you depress the pin through the hole with an awl or other small point. Most 1/4 sockets do not have this hole and the socket is at risk of falling off and being lost. The size markings are very visible and the broaching of the sockets seem well made. The wall thickness is also not overly thick like a lot of impact sockets can be.

I'm really impressed with the quality of all GEARWRENCH products. These impact socket sets also come with a really nice storage case. I purchased both the Metric and SAE sets during the holiday sales, and you cannot beat the quality for the price!

For a full set of 1/4 impact metric and SAE, this is a great value. Super easy to spot the size etching as well. Have used these frequently and never had an issue with them. The sockets fit well tight around nuts and bolts. Lifetime warranty is always a plus using Gearwrench stuff.

So far they are what I exactly ordered never knew they made a 1/4in impact socket set had to have them for my tools, co-worker asked me what will I use it for I said never know I rather have something and use it once then not having it and using someone else's all the time. Thank you I really love the set.

Works well.

Great set for price

I have this set, the 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive as well. Black finish seems easy to scratch when the socket rubs on just about anything. One set got wet and showed surface rust which I quickly addressed with Deep Creep oil. I love them though. Way easier to identify the size than chrome sockets with hard to read etching. I also love the case because at the end of the day at work, I instantly know if a socket is missing and what size. I also like that I don’t have to pick up a strip of sockets to see the size. These are all labeled both on the socket and the case which I can see at a glance.

Nice set with case would say this would be very good for someone starting off as mechanic.
