Can a fella get a few more likes than usual? Lol hit that thumbs up!!

Inherited a 12point 1/4in standard snap on chrome swivel sent from mu pops. Theyre aboot 20 years old and they are one of my absolute go to socket sets. The 5/16 is where alot of my jobs start and end. Liked em so much i happily paid aboot 500 for the metric set. Also have the 3/8 impact swivel set. Snap on does make a damn fine swivel.

The painless story you shared I got some northern tool/ harbor freight swivel impacts after Dmacc I worked at a trans rebuilder and did lots of R&R those catalogue swivels (mid90's) all I could afford well pin broke off into my right thumb where it attached into my hand that's when I found out that if your going to use tools 5to6 days a week invest in good tools lots of these no names internet autopart store middle of the road tools are ok for diy's sat/sun brother in law garage but not a every day techs thanks Chad for your vids lots of good free info there to help techs out

I prefer the Matco pinless swivels myself. Only problem is they are impossible to get right now so I have been taking it easy on them so I don't break anymore until Matco gets there crap together.

You know Jimmy Making It Work,he learned his lesson on the cheap impact universal sockets.He bought a cheap 1/2 drive set on Amazon for $65.00 and broke the 21mm already and the 19mm was next to break.No lifetime warranty on them and replaced them with a Grey Pnuematic set.I have had bad luck with the Cornwell impact swivel.Broke on me using a 3/8 impact on them even with the replacements

I use sunex pinned and astro pinn less swivel sockets. The sunex don't quite get into some places. But the astro don't let me down. I'm going to have a look at the mac sockets after seeing them and you talking about them. Great job explaining tools keep it up.

I’ve got the GearWrench 1/4 chrome swivels and the Expert (Mac) 3/8 impact swivels. I don’t use them daily by any means, but they’ve held up pretty well. The Expert do have a pretty thick collar that gets in the way occasionally, but they’ve been well so far.

Not sure who is making Matcos top shelf pin-less swivels but they are awesome. Have held up well to daily shop use

Your corn will sockets remind me of my Matco sockets that I bought in the 90s

Only had snap on swivels haven't had a problem aside from the surface rust that grows on them lol very informative CP thanks

Awesome video lots of good Info. Need to get my hands on some swivels soon. Thank you for the video as always!!!

This video review on the sockets was great. I have Cornwells shallow sockets I use for my ratchet and for my impact I use cornwells shallow swivels and deep swivel sockets. They are great but the only issue I have with them is the pin always breaks falls out and lost or it bends and falls out but that doesnt happen too often. Luckily our conrnwell dealer will warranty them. I'm an engine teardown tech and we beat our tools to hell when we work. It's a messy job but someone has to do it.

Very informative . Thanks CP for your thoughts on swivel sockets . The one that you said that came apart is bad news . Safety glasses and football helmet to using these .

I have many sets of Snap On, Mac, Matco swivel impacts deep and shallow that are all over 35 years old and they have taken a beaten and are still going strong

I’m running snap on 3/8 for my shallow mid and depths. I only have an old 7/16” - 3/4” snap on 1/2” set and they have collars. And then the icon sets. My 1/4” shallows are mac. Everything else I just run a cornwell universal adapter.

I bought some used tools and there was a set of gearwrench chrome swivels with them. They're OK. I recommend them for starter set or home mechanic.

I really like the true matcos.... the advs are nice but are a little longer than the USA matcos

Always 👍 Buddy...one place too much girth is a bad thing..😁

Good job cp. The best swivel sockets are the ones that work the best for you. Swivels that you use the most buy high end for the rest cheap will do

I bought the gp swivel i have a frend that works for the state and he got me his discount on them and they have been holding up pretty good i have hade them for about 7 years now

The angle of the dangle

I must say i do like the pins for impact tools

Hey cp your videos are awesome!! I use the Matco painless impact swivels, the ones originally made by Armstrong. Someone else makes them now but the look the same only difference is they don’t say USA on them. Way better than the snap on pin style. Chrome swivels and all other sockets snap on all the way!

Great vid and appreciate it keep it up! 👍👍👍

The only universal; ie double jointed chrome sockets I like are the Snap Ons in 1/4”. Welded pins and don’t bind up. There may be other good ones out there, but the Snap Ons are the best I’ve used by a country mile. As for swivels, ie the wobblies, the Koken Z series chrome adapters are great imo as are the Matco pinless adapters (Snap On and Mac/Proto also very nice). As far as swivel impacts are concerned, Snap On, Matco, SK all used and all great. Sunex impact swivels also owned and are decent and cost friendly but not as compact as the others mentioned above. Both the neck of the socket end that goes into the joint and the socket end itself are longer than the others causing clearance issues and they wear out / break at the joint more easily. Don’t have much experience with others other than Carlyle and old USA Craftsman chrome universals. Both are pretty good. Carlyle’s are similar to Gearwrench. But neither can touch Snap On in this regard.

I have the matco adv swivel sockets, and I have put them through hell. I like them.

Thank you for a great video.

That’s crazy, I always was a huge fan of Mac’s finish. I love their finish with the way they engrave their logo. Imo max sockets are the best looking sockets but I get why people would want the shinnier brand. I guess it looks more appealing when you open a box up

Hey CP great video just a heads up there was some feedback coming through your mic during this video.

Buddy's tool game is crazy!! I'm a backyard mechanic. I don't charge enough to afford a setup like that but looking to get a metric swivel set. Is it just me ? " i hardly ever use my sae sockets so would be not worth getting sae swivels for me

Matco has a painless I like

Hey cp swivel sockets are like wrenches everyone has their cup of tea on there preferences. My go to are the old gear wrench made my Armstrong had them over 6 years not broken one stiff as day one. The new gear wrench Xcore are for when you really wanna get hit in the head. Snap on is sturdy but rust just looking at them .

Cornwell sockets are amazing and hold up well you can actually read the numbers. I have snap on Mac and Cornwell and the Cornwell American ones are my favorite

Hello again, CP Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I appreciate the tips you gave on sockets selection. Again thank you 👍

Cool video. Could you do a video on what is the best oxygen sensor socket. Thanks

Great video as usual!

Thanks for sharing brother. Awesome video. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT brother

Astro pneumatic makes swivel socket with a slim profile. I definitely need to get myself a set of swivel sockets but still haven't decided on who to go with🤔 Guess I'll keep patient and continue to hunt for a great deal on some Mac, Cornwell type quality.

GP sockets are good in swivel

My snap-on Swivels have never let me down. They are kind of Expensive

I have 1/4 and 3/8 GearWrench plus a Sunex set for my deep sockets. In 1/2 drive I use a Universal with the locking pin instead of the ball. I am happy with the current setup. Great vid CP

What up CP. loving it

I’ve only owned snap on and gearwrench impact swivels and I use them daily as a mechanic cp hit it right on the money with there is cheap and expensive cause they are worlds apart in my opinion.

Snap on has the real shallow ones like your Macs..I got some , I have no Mac dealer currently..( 3pc set $500) 😢 ok maybe 6 pc..with skip to la do my dey ohs...

Ok heres my grip. In the commercial truck world I cant find a good drive line socket for u-joint straps 1/2" 12 point impact p/n 216zudl. The only one i can find is sunex. They dont last but maybe 6 to 10 uses. Someone needs to step up to the plate and make one a better one. Im not the only guy that deals with this. All 9 of the guys i worked with had the same issue. Luckily our matco chick warranty them but the wait is brutal most of the time. So i bout 2 and rotate them out.

I have the mid gp in metric I would say they are middle of the road a but thick but not bad at all

Hello again CP Thank you for another Great Video. I haven't heard of ADB brand. Is this an Amazon tool?What is their warranty like and how are they to deal with warranty returns? How is to use? Sorry, I just hate surprises. Again thank you and Have a Happy 4th of July.

The answer is yes and collect them all

this was a thorough review on these wobblers CP!!!

Apex tools makes very good wobble extensions. Some are even locking

Nice 👍🏽

I have a cheap set of swivel deep 1/2 drive impacts that are exactly like the Cornwell. I have used and abused them over the last 25 years and they have never let me down. I'd put them up against anything. Just sucks you can't get them anymore because there's some sizes missing I'd like to get from the same company if they made them. Best $40 I spent on 2 sets of swivels, they've earned their money.

Great info!

I wouldn't go below Astro, Sunnex or grey pneumatic

👍👍

The static off your mic is getting pretty loud recently

Do you know if those Matco hex drive swivels are available anywhere else or if they’re exclusive to Matco? Those look pretty handy.

The ADV 3/8 swivel sockets are not that good especially if you're using them with an impact, but the Matco pinless swivel sockets are super nice I've been trading up my ADV sockets and paying a little extra to get the pinless ones for any of them that I have to get warrantied too many times. The deep ones are just amazing

I use electrical tape on u joint type it helps

What about some cheaper options? I preferably want pinless but there aren’t too many options besides some cheaper ones. I been lookin at some Astro pneumatic ones but 68 dollars seems a little cheap for professional use. Should I get those or slme sunex or grey pneumatic ones?

Good video

CP, tell me something.. I've been a diesel tech for 5 years now and have never bought a wobble socket, I feel like it's a waste of money because they're so expensive and you can only use the socket that's on there. I've always used a universal joint and put whatever socket I wanted to.. deep, shallow, 6 pt., 12pt.... is there any pro or con to buying the wobble sockets over just buying a tool truck universal joint and putting whatever socket you want on there?

Hey does using a torque wrench on a swivel either straight or sideways affect the torque or no ?

I know this is a completely unfair comparison, but the 1/2” Cornwell swivels are garbage when adapted to a 3/4 impact. They crack or blow apart every time I’ve done it. But none of my snap ons ever have. Not trying to be that guy, but 😅

Anyone have any use with the icon swivels? I have the 3/8 gear wrench set and they suck. I’ve broken 3 within 2 weeks they look like they should be good but idk if I should take a chance on them

Have you watched "Diagnose Dan" latest video on scan tools?

CP what are your thoughts on the Cornwell 18 pcs magnetic extension set that is on sale this month?

How much more advantageous is it to use a swivel socket versus a socket with a swivel adapter? I feel like my toolbox is fairly complete besides not having any swivel sockets.

Do you know who makes cornwells wobble sockets

Hit the lik

We get it.... you shoot pistols

No one likes the "floppy donkey"

What up CP. loving it
