Great tool...wrong size

Would Recommend

Pretty sure it would have lasted longer than me, but it didn't fit and I returned it.

Excellent quality

Would Recommend

I bought two of these for a project that required heavy duty drive sockets. You can tell by their weight that they’re made to last. Normally I buy Craftsman tools, but I will definitely give Kobalt a look when I’m in need of something in the future.

Stick with 6 point sockets

Would Not Recommend

12 point sockets have a bad habit of stripping the bolts. Stick with 6 point sockets

You just can't beat this

Would Recommend

Seriously, have you shopped these? Can't find it anywhere, same day, without spending almost 3X ad much! Plus covered by a lifetime replacement warranty ( if you break something like this, you were very likely using it wrong).

Great Product!

Would Recommend

I purchased this socket so that I could repair my Brother-in-law's Chevy truck. Now sockets are pretty simple tools and are, for the most point, obvious on usage. But this is an abnormal size for your everyday repair on small vehicles so I am thankful that it was even available.

MINI-Cooper/Cooper "S" oil-filter canister socket

Would Recommend

Made to order for the MINI; better than using an adjustable wrench. Will pay for itself in ease of use.
