3/8 in. Drive 1/2 in. 6-Point SAE Standard Socket

Nice complete set, and came at the perfect time. Someone decided to "liberate" my old Home Depot socket set, and I had to replace the starter in my Chevy truck. I was very pleased with these sockets, I banged them around some while changing the starter but they cleaned up as shiny as new with a simple wipe down. I bought a new ratchet from Home Depot and I was set to go.

The Husky Tool forever guarantee is for real! Their website states if a Husky Tool breaks they will give you a brand new one. This applies to these sockets. So far they have performed excellently and feel very well made. The set is complete and will meet most any need. The only negative I found (is why only gave 4 stars) was that the set came in individually wrapped sockets without a case of any kind so buy a toolbox or some sort of holding case if you don't have one.

I picked these up because I often have a preference for a 6 point socket when I can find the right sized one at hand. This was a good selection of sizes and they are all the 6 point style. I must have 6 or 7 sets of sockets from assorted manufacturers over the past 35 years. It's a big mix of styles, types and sizes and some I've managed to keep complete while others have had a few lost over time. So it's good to get a full set of 6 pointers to assure I can just glance at one set and get what I'm after for most jobs. I tried these with 5 different ratchets from 5 different manufacturers - some quick release some not. The best one I had was a Grip brand ratchet while the others ran the gamut from there down to the very very cheap. I also tried them with some Craftsman extensions I had. They fit everything I tried them with smoothly and snugly. They fit tight on the quick release ratchets and released easily. The 6 point gave me a good grip. The only thing I see that perhaps could use a little improvement was the imprinting on them. The type is large and bold which I really like since my vision stinks without reading glasses. But the thing that could be a little better is that while on some the size markings are solid and deep looking on others they appear a little on the light side and a tad faint making them a little harder to read. On those fainter ones I have to be pickier about how I hold it to the light to read it. The consistency there could fare just a little better. I would think those fainter shallower markings could possibly wear down over time with heavy use. But at my age I don't think that will be a problem for me. They'll likely last longer than me if I take decent care of them. All in all these compare very favorably with the Grip set that I have. They appear to be about the same quality but the writing on these is a little larger if not as deep so it is a little easier to read. The Grip set I have is complete and kept in its case when not in use and they are all 6 point sockets also but they do not cover quite the size span that these do and more of them are the deep well type. So this set compliments that set well and gives me a bit more variety in sizes.

Exactly what I needed for tractor mower blades

Yes, this was good purchase. Good crisp 6 point socket for some stubborn 1/2 bolts I was dealing with. Cracked them right away.
