what annoys me about them is it seems hard to grab a full set with all sizes. Their different kits are organized in a funny way right now so I ended up with a couple of the same sockets
Starting out as a maintenance technician , im enjoying my neiko sockets, i have their hex master set + the 3/8 set havent cracked or had any warnings of poor quality + they're relatively affordable so it'll absolutely get ya by
I’m new In the trade and majority of my tools consist of icon and tekton. They are definitely great tools have snap on and Mac tools as well but I notice no difference other then the higher tooth count on my snap on.
I don't own the 3/8" Tightspot impact socket set you mentioned as one of the brands you wouldn't be reviewing. I do own the 1/2" drive 70 pc SAE/metric impact socket set by Tightspot. I picked it up for $133 back in May. It has done everything required of it and has been a surprisingly good value. Tightspot is actually made by Jaeger Tool, an American company. The set is made in China, but that is not unlike many other American brands today
Ya I don't have anything against them I have heard good things about them but its not a well known brand. And I was trying to stick to brands most all people would know. But ya I have heard they are great sets especially if you can get them on sale.
I have craftsman usa made impact sockets from 90s i bought at sears and tekton for the larger sizes that my craftsman didn't include. I just bought the husky low profile sae and metric set
been working on cars for ~26 yrs as a side hobby and own 6 cars and NEVER EVER EVER owned a set of impact sockets. Have done several motor swaps, several tire swaps ... all done with regular craftsman or Master Craft tools. Funny how my wife 26 yrs ago got me a 500 pc Master Craft tool set from Fingerhut for Christmas that i used to get into cars and start working on them. i STILL have 95% of those tools.
I'm 64 years old and just bought my first impact wrench and socket set (Milwaukee M12/Neiko) for a suspension project on my car, and then I used it to replace my garage door opener with a wall-mount unit. I'm continuing to find uses for it - it's so much faster than using a ratchet (though I still do use the ratchet or a torque wrench to snug up the bolts) It's a real game changer!
I had the Dewalt 1/2 inch set love it but I found it for a deal when I was shopping for a Dewalt 1/2 inch impact came together as a bundle with that socket set.. I have aoben 1/2 and 3/8 impact set As well I use at work I use them on a rail also there good too ... and Capri I use there swivel long 3/8 Rachet it's like 29.99 really good price for a good quality ratchet with a Lil more leverage
Very nice. Sounds like you got a really good deal with the sockets. That's awesome. And glad to hear you enjoy the Capri ratchet as well. I may pick up one of the ratchets eventually as well
K wonder why milwaukee made their chrome sockets kinda square shape so they dont roll away but didnt with the impacts. I know the impacts were out first, but would be nice if they did that w the impacts as well
I like these videos comparing tools and the various brands on Amazon 👍. I have the older Tekton impact socket sets. I think the newer ones are better, but the older ones are working for me just fine
Thank you. Glad to hear it. And ya the new ones are better but the older style still kick butt for the price. I have beat them up and they just keep going.
I have the sunex 53? piece 7-22mm metric set and it's served me well for about 6 years. I've had to warranty one universal but it was as hassle free as possible
0:20... Tightspot actually has decent stuff BIG T...I get your drift though... They're not a well known brand but have been around a couple years crushing it with their ratchets and sockets.. people love em...js...👍 9:30... I think it's a bluing... I have the Husky set (both made by Apex Tool) and I really like them...
I agree. I picked up a 1/2 drive impact set For a fantastic price after doing a deep dive into Jaeger Tool on google. Zero regrets after making my purchase. I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price.
Hey Tony nice post, I have some sets that you mentioned, the gearwrench in particular I wish I had bought the LG set, in 3/8 but I've never seen it for sale so I bought the "tight spot" and you know what ? They work fine, I bought it mostly because of the case, it is the type of set tho that gives you 13 shallow 12 deep and 10 flex but it is the most complete 3/8 set I've seen for sale and it was some what cheep, I also bought the ABN auto body now LG half inch set for axle nuts
There are the cheap line impact socket brands sold on Amazon.and read the warranty good.Do not have a lifetime warranty on them,a limited day warranty on them.
If you go on Jimmy Making It Works channel,he learned it.Bought a $65.00 set of impact swivels on Amazon and was a cheap brand.Broke one of the sockets in the set had a 60 day warranty on them,was past due the 60 day warranty
I haven't tried them but I know about them and they actually have some sets that are great for the price that are identical to some better known brands
I have the Capri 3/8 impact socket set, also got the rail, they have exceeded my expectations and sold me on the brand. I've gotten numerous of their products since and am always happy with it, most recent being 1/4" impacts for my birthday. As always, I can never recommend Milwaukee hand tools. While their sockets are probably the best thing they offer, they're just expensive and mediocre quality.
The Powerbuilt tray was nice until I saw that they skipped 20mm deep socket and stopped at 19mm on the regular sockets... Plus it starts at 3/8... A good 3/8" drive set will begin with a 1/4 or 5/16, NOT A 3/8!, thats what 1/2" Drives should be starting at!, And go up to a 24mm not a 19... The Capri goes up to 22, but you could fit a 23mm & 24mm addition to them being there are some blank pegs to still use. Capri and Tekton have to be the best here, with Sunex a close runner up, as Tektons 1/2" Drive 87 pc. Master Socket set and many other sets from them are VERY NICE! Capri, Tekton, Sunex for the win... Could we get a tool review on Casomans CS105 87 pc 3/8" Drive Master Socket Set, there 86 pc 1/4" Master Socket set CS313, or there 1/4" 55pc CS312/or 50pc CS057 (these 2 are the same just CS312 has extensions in the set), and lastly, both their CS219EU & CS038 1/2" Impact Axle Socket Sets ... Anbull Socket Sets too PLEASE!
I love all these brands. I hear over and over again don’t spend any money on impacts, just buy Pittsburgh impacts as all Impacts last forever? Do I believe in this theory? I personally just love all these brands you showed and don’t care for Pitt brand although icon would be fine, I’d prefer all the brands u said ( plea, sunex, capri, GW, tekton etc
Why is Milwaukee the most expensive. They get us on lots of their Battery power tools but that Doesn’t make their impacts better than all the companies u shared today. Obviously it’s everyone’s money to spend as they want. I have plenty m12 but when it comes to sockets I’d try Milwaukee if they are cheaper, not most expensive, especially impact. They said I’d happily use em
Absolutely agreed. I feel the exact same way. I'm very happy with the milwaukee m12 line up but most the hand tools are overpriced. I would definitely try them out but not for what they are asking for them most of the time
I bought the ¼" 80 piece 4mm-15mm impact , u joint/wobble-swivel sockets. SAE in there as well, adapters, 3 extensions, shallow and deep sockets. I just felt the bolts 🔩 that are the toughest to reach are usually 7mm , I would LOVE to see this TIGHTSPOT set torque tested. I can't find anything on TH-cam- lots of good reviews so I gave it a shot. Comes with a lifetime warranty card. Not certain how easy that would be, but I would very much like to know the range I can put on the swivel u joints in particular. It's $100, for 80 pieces. So the math seems good and the set looks good. If you know anyone who have taken these to failure please let me know! TIGHTSPOT ¼" . (The ⅜" set is 187$) I have all my impact sockets but I'd really like to know what's good for the u joints without spending $400, thanks
I use the shockwaves in a DIY home mechanic capacity and have no complaints. Love how easy they are to read
what annoys me about them is it seems hard to grab a full set with all sizes. Their different kits are organized in a funny way right now so I ended up with a couple of the same sockets
Good to hear and ya I noticed that with some of the sets. Thanks for pointing out the things you have noticed
Starting out as a maintenance technician , im enjoying my neiko sockets, i have their hex master set + the 3/8 set
havent cracked or had any warnings of poor quality + they're relatively affordable so it'll absolutely get ya by
Very nice. Glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing
I'm very pleased with the tekton set
Been using them for 6 most professionally and have not had any problems whatsoever
I highly recommend tekton
Very nice that's awesome to hear. Thanks for sharing
I’m new In the trade and majority of my tools consist of icon and tekton. They are definitely great tools have snap on and Mac tools as well but I notice no difference other then the higher tooth count on my snap on.
Ive been buying a lot of Capri tools lately good stuff for the price
Very nice and ya I have really enjoyed them as well
I have the Milwaukee impact set and they’re amazing. Great pick-up when they’re on sale at Home depot (i’ve seen them go as low as $95)
Very nice and ya at 95 that would be a great deal!!
Hello again Tony
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Nice selection of tools today 👍
Thank you. Always appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
I own the Sunex master set and it’s killer. I used their 1/2 set doing a complete front suspension job and it killed it.
That's awesome to hear. Glad you are happy with them. Thanks for sharing

I have the gearwrench set and the Capri mids both great so far!
Very nice. Glad you enjoy them as well

Very nice. Hope they are working well for you

Ya the company they have make the impact sockets probably won't make them that way. But that's a good question

Very nice good to hear it. I haven't had to use a sunex warranty before so I'm glad to hear that as well
@@TonyTheTechnician I spent about 5 minutes on their website and had a new one in 3 days
Very nice.
Good video. I like the socket rails better take up less space in the box.
Thank you!!!
0:20... Tightspot actually has decent stuff BIG T...I get your drift though... They're not a well known brand but have been around a couple years crushing it with their ratchets and sockets.. people love em...js...👍
9:30... I think it's a bluing... I have the Husky set (both made by Apex Tool) and I really like them...
Ohh nice. I'll look more into them. Thanks for the heads up
I agree. I picked up a 1/2 drive impact set For a fantastic price after doing a deep dive into Jaeger Tool on google. Zero regrets after making my purchase. I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price.
Power built tempting just cuz of foam tray. Would love foam to have two colors
Sunex master set & Capri mids great mix 👍
Absolutely 👍👍👍

Ya I know what you mean and ya if the larger set would just go on sale that would be great lol. But glad you got what you need and they work well
There are the cheap line impact socket brands sold on Amazon.and read the warranty good.Do not have a lifetime warranty on them,a limited day warranty on them.
Ya definitely have to be careful with that 👍
If you go on Jimmy Making It Works channel,he learned it.Bought a $65.00 set of impact swivels on Amazon and was a cheap brand.Broke one of the sockets in the set had a 60 day warranty on them,was past due the 60 day warranty
It just blows my mind that any tool is sold with that bad of a warranty. That is horrible
Can you do a 1/2 one bc I’m looking for some (mainly shallow)
Yes indeed. That on is coming shortly
I think any impact socket set is good as long as you get chrome moly
Have you ever tried or know anything about Casoman impact sockets from Amazon?
I haven't tried them but I know about them and they actually have some sets that are great for the price that are identical to some better known brands
@TonyTheTechnician thank you! I'm on a tight budget and they seem to be the only 3/8 set that goes up to 1".
I have the Capri 3/8 impact socket set, also got the rail, they have exceeded my expectations and sold me on the brand. I've gotten numerous of their products since and am always happy with it, most recent being 1/4" impacts for my birthday. As always, I can never recommend Milwaukee hand tools. While their sockets are probably the best thing they offer, they're just expensive and mediocre quality.
Absolutely agree 100% on both Capri and milwaukee hand tools. While they are decent quality, 95% of the hand tools are over priced

and lastly, both their CS219EU & CS038 1/2" Impact Axle Socket Sets
... Anbull Socket Sets too PLEASE!
Texton 72 pc set $188 on the Texton Sight.
Yes indeed they are doing an overstock sale right now down from 221 to 188. And many other sets as well
I love all these brands. I hear over and over again don’t spend any money on impacts, just buy Pittsburgh impacts as all
Impacts last forever? Do I believe in this theory? I personally just love all these brands you showed and don’t care for Pitt brand although icon would be fine, I’d prefer all the brands u said ( plea, sunex, capri, GW, tekton etc
Don’t know if you have a Tractor Supply you can get the GR sockets for 89$
Sunex is not for me because those size letterings are too small
I want a big embossed WHITE lettering
Use a paint marker then.
Why is Milwaukee the most expensive. They get us on lots of their Battery power tools but that Doesn’t make their impacts better than all the companies u shared today.
