It actually seems heavier than the one I replaced.

Would Recommend

It’s a replacement for one that came with the Kobolt tool box, it seems to be a great replacement.

Great quality for good price

Would Recommend

Good quality product that works very well and is priced well. I've been buying from Kobalt in the last few years and it hasn't disappointed. Just a disclaimer that I'm not doing any commercial work with these products. Just working on things around my house.

Socket wall thickness

Would Recommend

The hex head is not centered in the socket making the wall very thin on two sides and creating a potential point of failure. I will use the socket but not for high torque situations.

Replacement socket

Would Recommend

What I need to replace lost/misplaced socket. Would have been nice if I could got it in a 12 point but not that big of a deal

decent deal

Would Recommend

You can't go wrong with this socket. Lifetime warranty that can be easily handled at Lowe's if it ever breaks. Individually it might seem a bit pricey, but not bad if just buying a few to replace those that went missing.

Small Socket

Would Recommend

Nice enough socket. The fit and finish is good. The bad is the size is only lesser etched. This will wear off in time. No stamping of size. But they stamped the manufacturer and part number into the socket. The little red line will wear off in time as well. Too bad they didnt do some cool stamping to differentiate Standard vs metric.
