GEARWRENCH 39pc 1/2" Drive 6pt SAE Impact Socket Set

Strengths: Construction, finish, feel, heft, laser+stamp engraved Weaknesses: None noted Recommendations: Absolutely recommended if you want a great set of 1/2 impact SAE sockets Notes: GearWrench has become my go to for tools with the fall of Craftsman. Kobalt was made in the same factory as one of the big two (Mac or snapon) like a decade ago, but no longer. I started out life with buying one of those 100piece sets from kobalt almost a decade ago, and that served me well. Recently though, I bought a big red 44" tool chest (always wanted one) and needed to fill it with all the sockets I could ever need, in every size, with no gaps. Because I wanted to. Not for any crazy project. After cruising Garage Journal for weeks, I settled on GearWrench and became hooked. I own this set, the 1/2" Metric set (which skips 25mm/1"), the 3/8" Metric and SAE sets, the 1/4" set, and a full set of their 120xp in both flex head and straight shaft (hehe). Probably going to buy the crazy allen wrench/security fastener/whatever set as well. The quality of GearWrench as a brand is far and above what most big box stores sell. Sure you could spend as much as you would on a new truck buying from Snapon or MAC, but these are great. I have a full set of Snapon tools at work (I'm not a mechanic) and to my amateur hands, I can't feel or tell any noticeable difference in them. Highly recommended
