What Customers Are Saying

The sockets are considered high-quality, durable, and impact-rated, with a nice chrome finish. Many customers are satisfied with the performance and value. The 6-point sockets are preferred over 12-point as they are less likely to strip bolt heads. Customers appreciate the clear size markings, which makes the sockets easy to identify and use. A few customers had issues with the size markings wearing off over time, and one reported a socket breaking easily, but these seem to be isolated incidents. Overall, the sockets are a reliable, affordable option for home and light-duty professional use.

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.

This product is ok, but the size on the socket come off quick so you can't find what size you need.

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.
