Sockets really matters, many people buy the newest impact wrench or tool but chose the cheap or wrong sockets, ending up reducing the power and the result the tools should come with.
This is an excellent video. Very informative. I work on my 2 Military Humvees almost every other day and didn't know this till now. I figured it was kinda just a marketing scheme to get me to pay another 70$ on sockets, but this is hyper helpful. Thank you!
You know i always have to but recently i couldnt get a nut off exhaust manifold stud... used impact socket and it breaks them lose. Kind of a crazy science i would assne the chrome socket stretches and absorbs alot of the load. So beyond the fact of possible explosion the chrome doesnt seem to hit as hard.
me too and if I ever break them "I never impacted them Sirs" 😂 but for real I only use the chromes on a low-torque rated wrench so I don't think it's hurting them, hasn't seemed to do damage to them yet.
@@escapetherace1943if for some reason it fractures and a piece chips off and flys into your eye, you’ll have a different outlook, ive split tons of chrome sockets when i was a rookie, and every time the safety of my eyeballs came to mind, chrome sockets do split and will, its just a matter of time,
You are wrong in the video, impact sockets can either be made of cr-mo or cr-v, the metallurgical strength compared between the 2 is negligible, meaning both are about the same, difference is chrome sockets are hardened impact is left unhardend
if it is on properly and the bolts is not rusted, then no it will not round the head, if the bolt is rusted i would definetly use a 6 point. the main problem with a 12point is the fact that you can put the socket at an angle much easier and without knowing it hence the reason that 12 points rounds way more often
Does everybody know that why only regular socket has the notch or groove on four internal wall and impact socket not? Only see the impact socket with side hole for mating with detent pin(ball) of sq. drive.

Thanks - nice, concise overview and I now understand the function of the small hole at the base of impact sockets!
What a clear and articulate video! It really gets right to the heart of the matter without any unnecessary rambling.
Stole my words. Exactly.

I use Pittsburgh chrome sockets on my Milwaukee all the time 😉

@@shauncry9310Same here, I sold my chrome sockets and switch everything to impact sockets. They make a difference

Tell me you cant afford the correct sockets without telling me you cant afford the correct sockets, they cheap as dirt on amazon, do yourself a favor

I'm new to this channel. I turn it on and moments later I' m much more informed than I was before.
Definitely subbing and sharing with my mates!
Thank you so much! We are planning on releasing more quality tool reviews quite frequently so stay tuned.
Impact sockets are often Cr-v. Especially the cheaper ones.

Thank you for the tutorial. You Rock Mate.
Now I understand the difference between both Socket types. Very informative video, thanks for your help appreciate it 👍
Can you do test on 12 vs 6 points wrench please? Im curious about the myth that 12pts will round the bolt head.
12pts will make you struggle to fit at small place
if it is on properly and the bolts is not rusted, then no it will not round the head, if the bolt is rusted i would definetly use a 6 point. the main problem with a 12point is the fact that you can put the socket at an angle much easier and without knowing it hence the reason that 12 points rounds way more often
Torque test channel has a whole video about that
I have got a Dewalt DCF900N-XJ 18V 1/2" Impact Wrench 1396Nm Body Only what is the best socket that I can buy for this? Dave
Does everybody know that why only regular socket has the notch or groove on four internal wall and impact socket not? Only see the impact socket with side hole for mating with detent pin(ball) of sq. drive.
A detent that would fit into those groves wouldnt hold when used on an impact gun
I was totally using the chrome sockets on my impact gun , big mistake
Thanks for the knowledge!
but i have warranty
cant get a new working eye from warranty.. at least yet
Pretty sure the warranty is void if you misuse the tool too.
This channel is awesome. I just subscribe.
