Good Socket set.
May 26, 2017
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.

Great set of Sockets!
August 26, 2017
A really good set of sockets for the price. They're not fancy but they get the job done. Not a lot of play or wobble when attached to a wrench or extension. I've seen no wear or signs of breakage even though they get plenty of use on an impact wrench. The case they come with is pretty basic but it works. The sockets had some coating of oil still on them from the factory, so wipe them down when you get them. I would highly recommend them.
Heavy duty, well made works great! If you need a specific size, make sure to check the size list in the description.

Heavy duty, well made works great!
One note. If you are buying these needing a specific size, check the listing for what sizes are included. They have the most common sizes, but if you are looking for a 15mm to remove the transmission mount off the skid plate on a 95 wrangler YJ, you will be out of luck. I didn't remove any stars for this because it was my mistake, the sizes are clearly listed in the details.

I hammered on these with my 1/2 air gun and took very rusty bolts out of the skid plate mounts. No wear on the socket and no stress fractures.
Great quality and a good price
May 8, 2017
This impact socket set contained all the sockets I needed to remove stubborn metric bolts from my rusted on caliper brackets. Each socket is nicely labeled and the blow molded socket box is great quality and way better than the quality of the "socket tree" that some cheaper brands like harbor freight come with.
Good basic set
March 10, 2017
Great set. I should have read the description because doing a job last weekend I needed 18mm for many applications on a Jeep. I had to run to Lowe's and pay over $5 for one.

Overall, this is a very good set but if there was a next time, I'd purchase a more complete set.
Very good impact sockets, nice plastic carrier
January 10, 2012
I do all my own repair and maintenance on my vehicles, which currently number 6... All except my boat are foreign vehicles, and I finally got around to getting a set of deep impact sockets in metric... (Since impact sockets are six sided, you can get by with SAE sizes, but it's far from ideal... :) )

These sockets are good. The finish on the sockets doesn't match quite exactly, but that's really not an issue. Some are a little flatter black than others... Apparently they were made either in separate batches or they were made at different subcontractors, but they don't all look like they came from the same set... But they are well made and sized exactly right... (Some sockets are a little tighter or looser than the standard, but these are dead on. I measured them with an inside micrometer; they are dead on with the spec.)

If I had a wish list, I would have made this set include a 25mm socket and drop the 10mm. I have never seen a 10mm bolt that I actually needed an impact socket for. If the bolt is extremely tight, I would just grab a 6 sided regular socket to remove it.

Since I have a very large collection of sockets and these are deep sockets, I didn't have room in my toolbox drawer that I have all my sockets in... I knew I wouldn't, and that's why I wanted a set that came in some sort of holder or box that I can store in the cabinet where I keep my impact wrenches. The box is nice, two locking tabs and a handle to grab it with. The standard spring loaded socket holders won't work with these, they are far too heavy and will just fall off.

Very happy with these sockets.

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.

Havent broken yet on some insanely stubborn bolts. But it is missing some important sizes I need. Thats what the tool truck is for I guess, or they could complete the socket set........whatever. Does the job
Great Sockets, Just Missing a Few in the Set
March 16, 2017
I know this is ridiculous and I should read the description, but the set is missing an 18, 20, and 23. Kind of strange to not include these, and of course I needed an 18 for the first job I was doing....

Other than that, great impact set and way cheaper than any other brand but about 50%. Will be getting the 18, 20, and 23 separately to round off the set.
Great value-to-quality ratio.
February 1, 2017
Didn't care for the grease that comes on them, but it's a solid set for the money. I mainly wanted a quick access set for my torque wrenches when working on my motorcycle and I also needed a 6pt 24mm which my big set didn't have. Covers everything I need in a durable plastic case that fits in my bike with my torque wrench.

Packaging and cleanup was inconvenient, but I'm happy with the ratio of value to quality.
Not chrome vanadium/black powder coated
August 27, 2016
These are a good value. However, they are not Chrome vanadium/black powder coated as shown in the picture. My set looks like the industrial Pittsburgh impact set that you find at Harbor Freight where oil will soak in rather than simply wipe away. Regardless, they work fine and are significantly cheaper in price than the Harbor Freight brand.

If you're looking for a nice similar set that is indeed Chrome vanadium/black powder coated, check out the Ingersoll Rand SK4M14L set here on Amazon. However, note that set costs $65.
Strong set, but could be more complete. Needs a stronger carrying case.
February 18, 2015
Great set, nice and robust. I don't think I'll be needing replacements any time soon, however, two things keep this from being a 5 star set:
1. This is a decently sized set for the money ($22), and even though it includes the sizes in the description, the lack of 15, 18 and 20mm sockets makes this a hard set to finish off later. I really needed a 20mm, although I didn't realize I needed it until I got into the job. It's my fault, but still makes this set less attractive than a truly consecutive one.
2. The case this set comes in is certainly handy (so is the handle), however, mine opened during shipping, despite the extra metal screw to hold it closed. By the time I got it, only 1 of the sockets was actually still in the case, and the box had opened. Luckily, they all stayed inside the box. The sockets were just too heavy for the case given the typical UPS treatment, but it also makes me concerned that it could do that to me should I drop it.
This is a great set, just not perfect.

August 23, 2017
I got this to change the timing belt on my Toyota. the 14mm socket is used a lot for that application. My 14mm socket is lightly stamped and there is no way a 14mm bolt head is going to fit in it, but a 13mm bolt head will??? I think this one was dropped off the production line at the factory and was mis-stamped at the factory? I'll be seeing what I can do to get it corrected, no fault of the seller, more a fault of Stanley tools I think. Otherwise a very nice set of sockets that I will probably use my whole life.
Great but missing a couple key sizes
June 19, 2017
Nice set, just wish they wouldn't have skipped the 18mm and 20mm. If they absolutely had to skip a couple it would make a lot more sense to skip the 11mm and 13mm since I'm far less likely to be slamming those smaller sizes with a 1/2" impact, or if I did I'm more comfortable using my standard 11mm and 13mm since they wouldn't be on all that tight anyway.
The work but doesn't include 18mm beware

March 20, 2017
Seems like a good enough set for the money but it skips the 15mm size for some reason. I bought this to do replace my shocks and guess what size I needed...15mm. In all fairness, it says what sizes are included in the description and 15mm is not listed in there. Still, I just don't get a set that skips sizes.
Problem is sizes they don't include
August 9, 2016
Quality seems OK but why leave out 15, 18, & 20 mm sockets?- not like you never use those sizes. Get rid of the 10, 11, & 12 mm- not that useful and a bit overkill thinking you'd really need a 1/2" torque wrench for those size fasteners. Just picking up those 3 individual sockets at Sears cost more than this set. Hindsight is better spending a bit more and getting a complete range.

March 10, 2015
The product seems fine, but instead of a 17mm socket (the most common use one for me) it came with two 16mm sockets instead. Obviously a quality issue in the packing. The quality of the product seems fine. Just frustrating to not have the correct sockets it should have.
Some are hard to read, not quite as pictured
August 1, 2011
Some of the sockets engraved markings are hard to read. The photo on Amazon makes the sockets appear to have a nice finished surface, which is also not the case. Socket 14mm appears to have a bit of a casting/forging imperfection and is not readable. Compared to my Pittsburgh SAE set, these look like a child made them. I expected something with the "Stanley" label to be a higher quality to that of it's generic counterparts. I am sure they will work, but now I wish I got the 13 piece Pittsburgh Metric set rather than this set.I own a Sunex 3680 12 Piece 3/8" Deep Drive SAE 12 Point Impact Socket Set, they deserve 5 stars and are what I expected these Stanley sockets to be on-par to (based on the photo they look of the same quality and finish).Update: I've purchased the 13 piece Pittsburgh Metric set to complement this set. The other set includes sizes 10, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24, 27, 30 and 32. The end result is 8 duplicate sockets sizes 10, 13, 14, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24, three of which are common lug nut sizes. Combining these two sets to make one well rounded set is the way to go.Had this Stanley set not had poorly made 13 and 14mm sockets in my set I would have given it 4-5 stars. The rest of the sockets are ok for the price I paid.
