Great quality,

Bought this to attempt to remove a nut. Failed to remove nut and rounded the edges. Will go with a 6 point next time.

Durable and Made with Quality Materials

Would Recommend

This socket is durable and worked great for my needs. I used it to removed some damaged bearings from a trailer axle and it performed wonderfully, despite the bearings being thoroughly destroyed. Socket is well made and strong enough for use with a 36" breaker bar on a seized nut.

Was need for a large job, good price point, very little slop in fitment . Took the load applied without failing nor rounding edges off. For the need was not expecting it to survive but it worked without breaking or damaging equipment
