Five Star Reviews: | 85% Solved my tire rotation problem August 21, 2017 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. Very Pleased!! June 30, 2017 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. Excellent quality and value! May 26, 2017 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. Awesome set for any with an impact wrench and a vesicle December 18, 2016 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. Nice set of wheel sockets May 17, 2016 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. Awsome little socket set!! February 22, 2016 This 6 different size socket Im works so well and for this price it was a steal. These sockets very well made. | 86% Nice May 31, 2017 This review is for TEKTON 1/2-Inch Drive Deep Impact Socket Set, Inch, Cr-V, 6-Point, 3/8-Inch - 1-1/4-Inch, 14-SocketsI've used several of these already and they are very nice and sturdy. The case holds them well. Very durable and they seem like they will hold up well to the torture they will be put through. tools from TEKTON are fantastic. They stand behind them with the best warranty ... May 24, 2017 As stated in other reviews, tools from TEKTON are fantastic. They stand behind them with the best warranty and offer top notch customer service. I've only read about the customer service, and not had to deal with them directly. I fully expect these tools to last a lifetime. These sockets are very dependable and easily readable. Thanks again Tekton! Great tools for the handy man/shade tree mechanic April 23, 2017 So far so good, rebuilt the front end on my '03 Super Duty with them and they seem to be good tools. I am not a mechanic by trade so these are perfect for what I need......moderate use. They aren't the quality of Sanp-on but they also are less a quarter of the cost, I can't justify spending that much for my use. I'm quite happy to buy this product on its history and merit ... April 8, 2017 I am impressed with these sockets for a variety of reasons as follows; range of sizes,size and clarity of each socket size,quality of design and durability/reliability and of course,a fair and affordable price.I have purchased and been at the mercy of name brand tool trucks in my trade for years and have sacrificed hard earned dollars as such over many years. I'm quite happy to buy this product on its history and merit and intend to buy more.TEKTON pliers set and wrenches are another investment I have made with all the same quality results as listed above,size range especially. Looks great, works great March 20, 2017 The first thing I noticed when I opened them up was how nice they looked. The sizes are very clear on all the sockets. The case they are in is great and has almost no wasted space and I will definitely be keeping them in the case. Having used the sockets now for a few months several times a week they work great and have shown no signs of wear. The only change I would like to see is the outside of the box being labeled as I bought both the SAE and the Metric sockets and had to write on the case with sharpies to tell them apart without opening them. Good quality, but with one improvement. September 8, 2013 These are a good set. I have no question they will last a long time. The case that they come in is good and seems like it's up to the task of being opened daily. The only complaint that I have, is that the measurements are etched into the sides of the sockets. For a socket of type, I would have liked to see engraving instead of etching. I was aware of this when I bought the set, just something to suggest that would make it even better.I also have the metric set of this line and would say the same thing as well. Good, just not so hot on the etching. |
Four Star Reviews: | 11% Versatile and compact lug nut socket set. April 15, 2017 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 March 20, 2017 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. Almost, not quite. October 7, 2016 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 March 18, 2016 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. Black Finish, Chrome Moly Steel, For Impact Wrench (And Ratchet Wrench) February 3, 2016 - 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.) | 10% Nice set of impact sockets August 29, 2017 Reasonable price for a set of impact sockets, I like the plastic storage case. Nice assortment of sizes. This is my third set of impact sockets from Tekton, no issues with them seem to take bolts off just as well as my snap on sockets. Well worth the money if you ask me May 9, 2017 I'm just a lube tech at my shop but I do far more than just oil changes, so having adequate impacts are more than essential. These definitely hold up and should last a while, and even if they don't, I'll be utilizing their lifetime warranty. I recommend buying a set of these if you're starting out and don't want to buy for brand name but want brand name quality. I really like the size markings which are easy to read September 28, 2015 I replaced my 20 year old name brand set with the Tekron set.I never had any problems with the old set which I had given to my son.The Tekton sockets perform well and show no sign of wear.I really like the size markings which are easy to read.If the markings hold up over time,I will be very happy.The price can't be beat. Nice Socket Set July 29, 2014 nice socket set, sockets seems to be of good quality and its nice having the sizes written on them clearly visible, and like the sturdy hard case for them. only reason i gave 4 not 5 stars is because there is a few sizes in the run of sockets that were skipped, they left out, and would've been better if the hard case had the open slots for the skipped socket sizes. but all in all I like the set, I would def recommend them.

Good price but wish it included the 16mm. But othewise good set upto 32mm. January 9, 2014 The best selection I've found in wrenches up to 32mm for 1/2" drive.You really do need the 16, it would have been better if they included it over a 15mm.But, if you all ready own an SAE set, the 5/8 almost always works (.625" is really close to .630") |
Three Star Reviews: | 3% Meh, OK May 16, 2017 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 February 18, 2017 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 Needs more reach September 11, 2016 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. August 28, 2016 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. | 3% Get what you pay for June 1, 2017 Good sockets besides I had one unmarked and another labeled the wrong size. Bad timing when counted on using the set. Now it just sits in the bottom drawer Good selection of sockets January 27, 2017 Good selection of sockets. However, kept falling off my impact wrench. I don't believe it's the impact as other sockets stay on there just fine. Ok incomplete set of sockets. Work fine. September 13, 2015 Its a socket set so it seems hard to mess that up. Set is incomplete which is annoying. Three Stars September 10, 2015 no better than the harbor freight pittsburg brand, this just comes with a plastic case good set June 1, 2014 this is a really good tool well built nice case even if it is plastic. but it lacks some of the most used sizes so I could only give it 3 stars but it is well worth the price other wise |
Two Star Reviews: | 0% No Quality February 10, 2015 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. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 1% Interesting design, but cheap implementation caused damage to my rims... April 25, 2016 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, Buyer beware, Poor Customer Service!! August 18, 2014 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. 👎👎👎 | 1% Good product other than missing sockets May 4, 2017 Received quickly but missing the 15mm and 23 mm socket Smaller sizes are back pored so you only have about ... February 7, 2017 Smaller sizes are back pored so you only have about 1/2" of contact length.. Wont work to take a nut off of a long screw Very unsatisfied. Used one socket with my m18 impact ... November 29, 2016 Very unsatisfied. Used one socket with my m18 impact and cracked it the first time I used it and my impact gun is only 220 foot/pounds. |
