i had lots of s/o break. I have never had a pittsbugh pro socked break. I am a professional mechanic and used them for 25 years with no problem. when i bought them i was just planning to use them until i could afford a s/o set but i looked down 20 years later and realized that i was still using the same set! also none of them got stolen.

I just bought another set of pittsburgh sockets, never had one break but I've had whole sets stolen from 1-2 day employees over the years.

I’m sry but this is my first comment ever ! Is he really complaining about a 20 dollar set of sockets only lasting 4 years after being highly used That’s like .09 cents a week ! I’ve had s-k sockets break faster then that ! Sry just can’t believe

Pretty ridiculous isn't' it? You can get this whole set for $20 with coupon, lifetime warranty, and he still complains about it. How much would that 21mm socket alone cost if it were a Snap-on? Plus, I'd rather drive down to Harbor Freight to warranty a socket the same day rather than have to wait for the tool truck to come around or a replacement to come in the mail.

That 19 is clearly beat to shit from use, and presumably still works - where's that video? That's a 4.00 socket compared to 20.00 for an SK or 40.00 for Snap-On. that whole set is 20.00 on sale.

About $20 per set with the coupon.. Warranty the cracked socket. At $20 per set, get two sets as spares or a total of three, one sockets dies, two more as back up until the socket can be warranty replaced.... Wrench On, ~What's not to like?

Same thing. My pittsburg pro, always swore by them (over 10 years old - taiwan). 19mm is my lug nut socket too. well worn (looked like yours) today. First it rounded a lug nut at 500lbs impact. The next nut broke it. I scratched my head with a broken heart. Maybe Chromoly can only stand so many hits? My gun goes to 1500lbs, and haven't had an issue. So now I'm looking for similar stories or another brand.

I have shallow pb pro, had them for 10 years used professionally, and that still work fantastic. I think you were abusing it, also the 21 always breaks because the casting is thinner, that goes for even top tier brands like snap on.

Huh, you buy a cheap set and complain ? Seriously ? I had a snap on 17 mm split on me. Why ? It was seriously worn out. But seriously, any socket you use often, you need to buy the best out there. For me it was snap on or mac. Never broke a impact socket again.
@georgecroney61682 жыл бұрын
How can you complain when cheap tools break, you bought crap, that's what happens. Impact sockets don't last that long anyway, they're designed to wear. Astro pneumatic make a good recently priced set though I'd just stick with cheapos seeing as all you do is take your lug nuts off by the looks of it
