Side by Side Comparison of: TEKTON

The folks that had been rotating my tires had been a little sloppy, and when I took over tire rotation, I could not remove some of the damaged lug nuts. This set fixed the problem. The 7/8" socket fit the nuts that used to be 21mm, and I was able to finish the job. These are well made, and I expect to be happily using them for years to come.

Some people like myself assume the factory jack and lug wrench works on their wheels. My truck had aftermarket wheels installed from the dealer. It never crossed my mind that the lug wrench installed on the truck would not fit inside the opening for the lug nuts. Luckily I discovered this while attempting maintenance and not stranded on the side of the road. The sockets are thinner than your average impact socket allowing them to fit into smaller diameter holes that a lot of the aftermarket wheels have. With all that being said these universal lug sockets are great. I use them with a 24" breaker bar and an impact wrench. I've had no problems at all.

These flip sockets are very good quality made in Taiwan and come in a nice blow molded fitted plastic case that keeps everything together and organized. Would highly recommend them to anyone who rotates their own tires at home.

It would have been nice if the size markings were inscribed as well, because one of the flip sockets' surface size mark was scraped off upon first use due to rub against surrounding metal surface. That is not to say the size marking quality is defective, but only to point out that with use and abuse tools get scraped and scratched, so inscription and embossing marks - which are the conventional practices are guaranteed to last the lifetime of tools.Still, I give it 5 stars because it's a set that is very well designed (flip sockets), product quality and convenient compact carrying case. Recommend for anyone with impact wrench and a vehicle.

This impact set for wheels is great. The sockets are smaller than normal impact sockets so it doesn't scratch wheels up as much. The smooth paint coating also helps. This set includes 6 sizes and should work for most normal car and truck wheels. The included "extension" piece isn't really an extension. You need that to use the socket. longer 1/2 extensions will also work if you need them for your application.

This 6 different size socket Im works so well and for this price it was a steal. These sockets very well made.

Excellent quality

Very good quality. No problem so far. I am a professional Mechanic.

It is a good product. Satisfies.

I work at a electric company, and unfortunately they have a shortage of tools, so I went on ahead and bought this socket set. I can't say that there is a dramatic difference from the tools we normally use, but they do get the job done.

I like these sockets, they are cool!!

Good quality for the price, seems better than craftsman

good but not to tight on nuts

This set of lugnut sockets looks nice and is a great addition to any toolset. These will pretty much cover you for all passeneger cars and trucks. My only gripe is toyota lugnuts get stuck in the 21mm socket sometimes and i have to knock them out with a 3/8 extension

A good deal I think. a socket for all your lug nut needs. I haul a fifth wheel trailer with my dually 1 ton truck. This tool coupled with a dewalt 18v impact make short work out of an otherwise tedious job. It's one of those tools you don't need often, but glad you got it when you do need it.

Good quality. Not as thin as Gorilla thin wall chrome sockets. Handy little kit though. These will not work with my oversized McGard tough nuts, and Kosei wheels. They do work with standard OEM lugnuts on the same wheels. This would be perfect if they were a thinner wall.

Good product with nice carry case. I just wish the middle of these sockets were flush with the socket size. Because of the wider center I can not use these on after market wheels with small lug nut holes where a thin wall socket is needed.

- Three (3) flip sockets provide 6 sizes - for me, the 17mm/19mm for my Euro wheel lugs.- Made from Chrome Moly Cr-M steel (compared to Chrome Vanadium Cr-V for hand ratchet sockets) -- Cr-M is more expensive, better for higher torque of impact wrenches and won't shatter compared to Cr-V which is hard but brittle and shatters when broken. Therefore, fit for impact wrench means they're also suitable for hand wrench like breaker bars & torque wrenches.- Finished nicely in black, but as tools they will be abrased with use.- 1/2" drive shaft fits into the middle of each socket, giving overall length of about 4" (sockets are about 3" tall), and provides enough standoff distance to use a torque wrench for wheel lugs to avoid scratching car fender when pushing/pulling wrench.- Tekton says extension doesn't effect torque reading as extension doesn't absorb torque.- If using impact wrench, this is what you need (Cr-M steel). For general purposes, a Cr-V socket set (about 10 sizes) + 3" extension may be more versatile for about $25.- Made in Taiwan. Comes with nice, red hard plastic (spaced) storage case. (I use a freezer zip bag instead so I see the contents.)

good tools for the price.

good tools

works well just wish the socket rail it comes on was useable in a tool box

Most sets today are 6 point, this set has the 12 point sockets for 12 point drive fasteners.

Good fit and finish and priced rite

Overall it's a great socket set. I do wish it came in a 6 point this is a 12 point set. It can get tricky on nuts that are already slightly rounded off but that's with any 12 point.

The wells are not very deep, so you have to be careful that you don't damage the heads of acorn style lug nuts. The walls are too thick for a set of custom wheels that I have, so these won't work on them.

These would be nice if they were more slim. I can't get them to fit on some cars that have smaller bolt holes on their rims. Works for most applications though

its ok took a month to arrive

They are OK, not super thin though.

Overall they seem to be well made and a good product, just couldn't get them to reach deep enough to get to my lugs before hitting wheels first. So pretty useless to me.

Both metric and SAE in the same kit which is a great value.A bit wobbly though since the extension must be used at all times.Would have gone with a separate SAE kit for only a few dollars more if I had known.

I used this set with impact wrench to remove and tight the 21mm lug nuts which damage the lug nuts and got rounded edges from the first use and had the aluminum wheel scratches because of the shakes on run due to loose fit on nut. stay away from this product if you choose it from tires work.I am getting confidence now that TEKTON has nothing to do with quality after trying different products from their company.

These are not thin wall sockets. I returned them.

I purchased good quality, but not exotic, rims from Tire Rack and this drive lug set seemed perfect...until I used them. Given that the "flip", apparent universal design allows TEKTON to save on material, it would have been nice if they had put some of that material into making the sockets long enough to not damage rims. Instead, the lug I used chewed up parts of my brand new rims.

Not as advertised - claims to be a thin wall socket and it's not!!! Does not fit my application and the seller would not take back the item. Buyer beware, read the fine print. I've been buying on amazon for years now and this is the first seller I had an issue with who would not resolve the problem. They just lost a good customer. 👎👎👎

Horrible, already had one spilt on me
