GT4494 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Good Job!!! 10mm and 5/16 sockets are the scourge of the earth!! Can never find them when needed so I went to Lowes and cleaned out their stock. Now I have some for a little while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always one key item… How many socket sets are sold just to get the 10mm? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After saying that, I popped in to Amazon and found several offerings. Probably not the best, but then they probably won't last long anyway, and I'm not a professional mechanic. I may stock up a bit. Yes, I've looked before, but didn't find much for results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the owner of hundreds of sockets, why in the hell do they come with a 9mm socket? It doesn't fit anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I was looking for multi pack. I would prefer impact since my hands revolt the way they do, I use my reachable impact any time I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using those sockets on the Air impact would be suicide though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAKA Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 How many times have you used a wrench to tighten something in such a tight space that you had to leave the wrench in place ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, at one jobsite, I got a 3/4" ratcheting-boxend jammed into a spot. It's still there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using those sockets on the Air impact would be suicide though. Some of those battery powered impacts are stronger than the air tools I have, and they are pretty tough. The little impact driver that looks like a drill, sort of, and is 1/4 inch drive, I have no problems using a regular socket with. The rechargeable impact rachet, I might use a regular in a pinch, but it has some gas. Air, no way no how, along with the higher torque rechargeables. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me either, but temptation was there along with the thought of how was I going to retrieve this thing when finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
