What they say

that I'm going to keep around. Number five on my list is the Harbor Freight impact sockets. I got them in 12point and I got them in sixpoint. Got them in standard SAE and I got them in metric. These Craftsman holders suck. Maybe my next purchase will be a Harbor Freight [ __ ] socket holder. Anyways, I have beat, battered, and bruised these things. I've never cracked one, broken one, or stripped one. As you can tell, they have been used to the absolute max. I use them on my little 12tonon press over there. I'll put them right inside of like a bushing, press it down and fit it through. That's not at all what they're used for, but that's what I use them for. Um, I throw them on my impact. They work perfectly. For the price, you guys cannot beat these as compared to like your Milwaukee or your Snap-On or whatever. I got [ __ ] 38 Milwaukee ones and they're the same thing. You know what I mean? Besides the branding, everything like these hold up just as well as my Milwaukee ones. I've used the SK ones. I've used the Snap-On ones. And honestly, I always go back to the Harbor Freight ones. Now, where I would not use these and who these are not for is for somebody that needs thinner wall. Your 12points pretty thin. That's why you got them. When you're doing pinions and stuff and you need like a 32 or whatever this is, inch and a quarter. You need like an inch and a quarter on a pinion or or whatever you're doing. This might be a little too thick. But the really cool thing about that is you just grind it down. You grind it down, call it a day, then you just go buy another one. You know what I mean? Like, um, I do wish Harbor Freight sold their complete sets. I know they are starting to. Icon does have a no skip set. Um, so I'm going have to give that a try. But number five on my list is definitely Harbor Freight impact sockets. I absolutely love them. I use them all the time when I'm using my half inch stuff. Eventually, I'll upgrade and I'll get a 38 set, but for now, I just got the half inch and I love it. Let's go on to
