I’ve had this set for two years now, I use it everyday on CAT equipment and have had zero issues. This video is what made me buy this set.

i have been a mechanic for 30 years, it used to be snap on, mac etc ruled our tool boxes. now sunex and other tool companies are making tools and warranty on the tools as good or better than tool trucks have. This 3/8 set is in every field truck of mine now and plus the 1/2 inch drive sets. Awesome quality and price i recommend highly any beginning mechanic or anybody needing a good quality tool to look at Sunex for tools.

You and AvE are the people I trust with tool reviews. Keep them coming!

Almost all of my sockets are Sunex impact's, I bought them with the idea in mind that as I broke or lost these one at a time I would replace them with Snap On. I still haven't replaced any of them and I did exactly what you talked about by cutting the lids off, they make great organizers in your box drawer without having to buy additional hardware.

I like the tight tolerances, I just use a metal brush to "clean" a scaled fastener first and now I have the advantage of a better fitting socket! If you work on your own Cars, trucks, boats and other machines as I do and if you are meticulous you will appreciate the closer tolerances. When I encounter damaged or scaled fasteners I replace them! Now if you are doing a job for money and / or don't care about everything being a close to perfect as possible then the extra close tolerances may not be as beneficial.

I have this set and have used them quite a bit and I'd says sunex is an excellent choice for my needs. Nice review as always. 👍

Just bought this to go with my new Milwaukee stubby impact! Nice set!

I would really like a set of these but would love it if you could take the time to do a review on the Sunex...Your videos are awesome my friend, they are in great detail and you save people a lot of decision making by pinpointing alot of variables & things to consider before purchasing the right tool for your specific needs... keep the awesome videos coming guy, nicely done as always!

Thank you for the Awesome review sir. You are right!!! I bought this same set last month and I love it. 😎

The Sunex impacts are the biggest bang for the buck. I have the 1/2 set and run them on a IR titanium.

Buy sunex 1818 1/4" set highly recommend it I use it daily never failed me.

used it today to change a master cylinder,on a 1999 Mercury sable, needed the 14mm long,and a 6" wobble extension, was perfect,wam bam, but a couple day's ago, the 10mm was a bit tight on a damaged bolt, hit reverse for a fraction of a sec on reverse,and it was free. love this set, all good !!!!

I'm going to buy this thanks to your review good job

I used the tip edge of a sharpie on the raised size markings in the case, much easier to see size quickly

Thanks for making this video i just bought a 3/8 impact and wasnt sure what sockets i should buy first i plan on getting this

I use this set along with my snap-on ct8810 impact proffesionaly in a heavy duty diesel shop, almost every day. I am amazed at the quality for the price. This set does about 90% of what I use my 3/8 gun for. Have used it for almost a year now and I'm still loving it! Great reviews man, keep it up!

I use this exact set along with my 3/8fuel impact everyday. I work on class 8 peterbilts and this set has the nuts to do it!

Many guys at my dealership use Sunex sockets. Because of their design, they usually don’t need to use any chrome sockets for 3/8 and 1/2.

Work in diesel shop and guy there has this set and he's beats on them and never failed him after years of daily use... this is a decent set

Have you seen the 3/8 Sunex 80 pc set that also includes Metric & SAE Swivel sockets, Extensions, and swivel adapters! for $160+! compared to Gray Pneumatics 81 pc @ $307+ the GRAY PNEUMATIC does however come with 23 swivel sockets, compared to 18 with the Sunex

Use this set everyday!

I am thinking of buying the 3351 Master metric set because it goes up to 22mm. The problem is that I can’t find an SAE version of the same set that goes up to 1 inch with the universal sockets.

I just picked up the same set and plus the 1/2 and the 1/4 master sets. Do they make up right trays for these sets ? I'm wanting to organize my box I've seen the Henson socket tray holders but I don't know if those are the right ones ??

I was wondering when you were going to do a video on these after seeing them in the grey pneumatic video. I actually came across them because they of the size range and they don't skip sizes. I had them shipped to the UK because nobody else does anything close over here. I got the 26 piece 1/2 metric set, will look at the 3/8 metric master set problem is not many sellers want to do international shipping and import charges!

Which would you prefer, the tekton or the sunnex versionsofthis set?

you want a socket with a tight tolerance i would highly suggest that so they dont round off. I personally see this as a plus

I do like my Sunex impact socket set for the most part. The one thing that I have noticed in the 1.5 years I’ve been in industry, working at an independent shop, is that my 19mm, 21mm, and 22mm sockets tend to stick to slightly messed up lug nuts. This is a pretty consistent problem. When I switched those 3 sizes for Williams 19mm, 21mm, and 22mm impact sockets, I have had zero issues with the lug nut getting stuck in my impact sockets. I believe Williams is Snap On’s industrial line (but much much cheaper in price,) but the difference in quality is definitely noticeable as compared to my Sunex. I have still kept my Sunex impact sockets, but rarely use them anymore since my Williams impact sockets have yet to have an issue sticking to lug nuts. Good reviews as always. Thank you.

Why on earth would companies not warranty the impact sockets if used on hand tools? That's really weird. Great video!!!

Great review. Thank you

Companies won’t warranty impact sockets used with hand tools? I’ve heard they won’t warranty chrome used on impacts, but never the opposite.

Cheers was thinking on getting this😀

For the price of 1/2 deep snap on impacts I bought the 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch, and as others have said they are the Matco adv impacts for 1/3 the price, they really good sockets

The down side the sockets get mixed up when the case is closed. When I opened the box that is what I got. So now just need to get a piece of foam to put in the box to keep them in place no biggie.

I wish they made the lid attach via a snap-in hinge and mold the top where the bottom can sit firmly on it. This way you could stack the bottom on the lid for your toolbox drawer and allow for easy and repeated quick assembly for mobility. But, I was planning to make Sunex my goto impact socket brand for the future anyways.

I've been looking at these for awhile

Cool socket set.

Nice video bro god bless you channel

I bought the sunex driveline extension/wobble socket 12 point , I have now broken 2 of them . How in the heck do you get them warrantied?

I have a set of these, that I use professionally, sockets and can tell you from first hand these sockets do go a long way for the price. Have broken one yet over the last year and I had gotten them used. They will handle my I.R air run all day. They do not, as you say, replace a set of chrome sockets in a professional environment. This do to the wall thickness variations from one socket to another. Some sockets next each other in size have the same O.D. and are made with different bolt sizes.

I liked your video brother, I want to buy an impact kit but I don't want something like a master that I can't use, this kit would be the best option in the measurements that are most used or is there another kit, I have read that Tekton and Sunex are a best buy, thank you

What air ratchet is that? Haven’t seen that head style in a while.

are you able to get ahold of some chrome sunex socket sets?

Does anyone know why sunex doesn't make a beveled or chamfered drive sockets to make it easier to guide onto your wrenches?

Hey nice post sir. I have a set just like this one I ordered a KD set and was surprised that a gearwrench set showed up. Looks alot like yours mine is 44pc made in Taiwan, hey it's really a small country how many tool makers could their be

The sockets you showed where both bigger tha n the sunex why

You should test how much of an effect extensions and adapters have on torque loss.

i like your w shop good

I bought the 3/8" set. great set btw. but the 1/4" and the 1/2" sets seems to overlap intensively you only get like 6 sockets that arent in the 3/8" set. what are your thoughts on this?

Do you have any thoughts after using them regarding the 3/8" drive side being flat with no chamfer?

Which impact socket brand do you prefer disregarding price. Sunex or Grey Pneumatic? My only complaint is that GP sizes are not engraved.

Nice job

How do you feel these compare to the Gray Pneumatic 3/8 Impacts?

Why is using impact sockets on hand tools an issue for warranty? arent hand tools less likely to cause them damage?

I realy love your video. You make good review with objectivity... could you make a bench test with torque difference with extension, like 2 inch to 12 inch and swivel adaptor?

How do I add your affiliate link to amazon links? I'm buying the Sunex 1/2in master set and the Sunex 3351 3/8in set. Eventually I'll get the 1/4in metric set too.

The Capri goes to 22mm and you can order the 23 and 24

Took advantage of their awesome MIR deal? I purchased their Metric 1/2 master set that was on the list of $100 off products.

Using snap on impacts for 15 years and using sunex/Marco adv for about 6 year. I find the snap-on wear out out faster even after more powerful impact have came out in the last 5 years. I bought them to compare them to the snap on and never went back. My snap on is collecting dust. That how good they are usa or not

You stated Sunex says it is ok to use their impact sockets with hand tools; however, other companies will flat out deny claims. Can you explain why it is bad to use impact sockets with hand tools to begin with? I would have thought that impact sockets are designed to handle more torque/abuse, therefore using it with hand tools would be better than chrome? Thanks!

nice

Sorry forget to mention the Sunex 80 pc set I believe is the 3580

The cons to this set and the Tekton set is the case is a 1 piece and will break over time of continual use, and the small sockets are not friendly if you have to put them in a hole to get to the bolt or nut. they are too thick and do not narrow down they stay close to the same thickness all the way to the end. this does not affect the bigger sockets but it does the smaller 1's I returned them and went with Grey Pneumatic. around the same price. When you goto remove a sunken bolt or nut in the smaller sizes you will see what I mean!

good info here

Do you think it's safe buying snap on hand tools on Ebay or Amazon

good video!!! how do you acquire all of these tools???

Sunex does make Matco's ADV impact socket line

Jus order this set from summit racing

i want these

so which set do you prefer tekton or sunex?

Would you recommend sunex over tekton?

So, you can't use impact sockets with hand tools but can use them with much more powerful impact drivers?? can anyone explain me the science behind this?

How do these compare to SK, is SK worth the extra money? - broke Proud American 🤣 🇺🇸

If only the lids just snapped off so you didnt have to cut it off permanently

just ordered this set.. 45 bucks with a discount

Where can get em? I live in New Jersey.

Debating on this vs gear wrench 84916N

I grant you that there will be torque (mechanical) loss with an adapter or an extension, but no one has ever told us how much that is: 5%? 10%? 15%? 25%? I suspect it will also vary between shallows and deeps, as well as by application. Is it enough to get excited about, or is this just FYI? It's like telling me there's a bomb in an empty football stadium that's about to go off. If I know it's 10 feet away from me here in the home team's end zone, then yes, I should be concerned. But if it's up behind the end zone at the other end of the stadium, somewhere in the nosebleed seats, maybe I don't care as much. Can you give us a rough estimate of the potential loss, or perhaps run a few examples for argument's sake? I imagine you have equipment available to you that could measure such a loss, using plain impact sockets (i.e., that don't have a swivel end). Thanks.

What you mentioned in the video about torque loss is not true. The torque transferred from the impact wrench to the fastener, using the same wrench, and the same final socket size, will be the same no matter what is in between them. Where there would typically be a difference is when you are using an impact wrench with a larger drive vs an impact wrench with a smaller drive for the same size socket, but this is just because larger drive wrenches are designed with more torque as the larger spindle can handle it.

Mail in that rebate for $25 back.

too few sockets

If you knew anything about tools you would know the tight fit is more desirable

I I I iouo

Extensions do not create torque loss. You've just lost all credibility man.
