Great to have!

I have a mechanic's set of sockets and wrenches and this enables me to throw those sockets onto an impact driver and save myself a lot of time and energy. Works really well on long lag bolts used in mounting televisions. I never knew I needed them until I have them and now I can't go back to using my wrenches except for finesse work.

Snag em already

I'm a Lube Tech on the Central Coast of Cali. It'a alway a pain to have to use a screw driver where as you could have used a drill, depending on most jobs. It' even nicer having a solid distance between yourself and whatever it is you're working on. Wether it be taking off splash shields to air filters and so on. These perform how they should and have held up under moderate daily usage. Feel very nice and durable. Good price too you ask me. I would and do recommend.

Fantastic solution to tide you over

This set of extensions is fantastic. I literally just used them today to do a tire rotation and they were such a timesaver. I don't currently have any impact / air tools to spin off lugnuts so this was the perfect solution for the house drill. I broke off the lugnuts with a breaker bar first, then hit them with this adapter set on the drill. Worked perfectly. Will save so so much time, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. Beats spinning them off with you fingers

Simple but very effective

Purchased these to go with my new dewalt impact drill. Tested them out with various sockets including one to remove lug nuts from my car. So far so good. People complain about the color flaking but I haven't experienced that yet. If that does happen, that means you're using your tools properly. If that's all you're worried about maybe you shouldn't be using tools.

Solid adapter for impact sockets

So far, item works as advertised. I purchased to use with my impact driver, so that I could use impact sockets when working on vehicles. So far, no issues or concerns. Seems like a solid product; future update to follow.

3" Impact Grade Socket Adapter/Extension Set

I used these today ... Actually working with each size. I was building rails for my wife's yard cart. They are a wonderful addition to the tool bench. Enough can't be said for the fact that they replace the need for an extension and run true at low and all high speed settings. Rugged and well built. The finish should hold up for a lifetime and each socket was securely attached and held fast as would be expected. Amazing quality & value at this price.

Great for light duty used with modular rechargable drill systems

These are not going to stand up to massive torque applied with large impact guns, but they are not designed for that, nor advertise that. These are great for drill and impact drivers like the ones sold with modular drill systems such as the B&D Matrix or Craftsman Modular Power Tools System. No torque rating or impact rating is written on the package, and the lower price reflects that. Bottom line you'll be able to apply more torque with these adapters than you would be able to make using nut drivers, and spin sockets faster than you'd be able to with a ratchet. These adapters let your hex drill/impact too bridge the gap between high speed and high torque at a very reasonable price. Push them too far into high torque settings and they most likely will snap. At this price point that should be understood.

works great

This has tons of pockets both inside and outside and can likely fit more tools than you can carry comfortably. I am a GC and put hammers, cat's paws, crescent wrenches, vise grips, channel locks, screwdrivers and a ton of other stuff in the bucket to take to jobs. Really is a cheap tool box. For those of you who are to lazy to read the bucket is not included but can be purchased new for 5.00 or picked up free on CL.

Impressed. Thought they wouldn't hold up.

I really like these. Saved me hours while installing a Lift Kit. I expected to bust one, but they held their own no problems at all. Maybe if I were using them daily for these applications, but then I also would probably have a 1/2" Impact so. Defiantly will purchase again when I inevitably lose one.

Great tools

These are great. I use them all the time in my cordless drill and impact driver and they are a lifesaver. I’ve used them to change the tires on the golf cart, used them to take the dash off my truck to replace the heater core (waaaay faster than using a ratchet), and countless odd jobs when I don’t feel like spinning a ratchet. This set is perfect, and I’d like to have the longer set as well. Might get them soon.
