Why would someone by regular (non-impact) deep socket sets instead of these if this is a harder material? Is it that they are much thicker?

They are thicker and in some situations, the standard chrome ones are all that will fit due to the chrome ones having thinner walls.

I love this set of deep sockets, but they are intended for use for things like wheel bolts where you have lots of space. I couldn't imagine that you could get the 10mm one into tight places where the bolts are close together. I wouldn't recommend it as a primary set, but its awesome for what its intended for.

these are designed and rated for impact use but i guess not as good looking as other sockets. Agree that these are cheaper than most impact sockets.

It isn't a harder material, it is actually softer. The softer material of impact sockets prevents them from shattering under the high stress that is put on them by impact wrenches. Normal sockets are harder but more brittle and more prone to breaking or shattering. Normal sockets are also thinner, allowing for use where impacts wouldn't fit

Sockets are smaller, letting you get into tighter areas. No difference in tool size.

Yes, I actually use a socket and impact driver with mine. Never had a problem. I'm very happy with them

Higher locking strength. I actually prefer the standard one as they are easier to lock and unlock. You only really need these if you lift very heavy loads above your head (for peace of mind) or if you drop your weights a lot.

Yes -- very thick...I use them mainly in my ultrasonic brass cleaner. Extremely durable --easy to clean -- the tops are "plastic-rubber" but they seal completely. This was my second purchase -- I had to give the first set to the wife for kitchen use...LOL

I doubt it. I noticed where someone else had problems with these through thick plaster

You asked "Like, it doesn't take special sockets?"Like, did mean "It doesn't take like, special sockets?" Like, that's the only dumb part about this question. But do use the black "1/2" drive impact sockets" so you won't crack the chrome jobbies.

Sorry. I mean they have very low resistance. So they will probably be much louder than the cubes. It will work well for what u want to do

Yes, you get regular and deep sockets. Regular sockets are available in the 3 ratchet sizes.

It's a power - draw heat issue. The socket can be used for anything that would normally screw into it. But being labeled CFL only they avoid the liability of someone burning down their business or home by over loading it. Most of these sockets are used by photographers and are covered or wrapped trapping even more heat.

I used a deep socket and it worked well. Really good lugs though but only down side is they fade very fast.

They Are A But Heavier Than Your Hardware Store Variety. They Are So Much Easier To Use Than The Others. My Hands Used To Ach AfterA Couple Of Hours. With These I Can Go All Day. Be Sure And Watch The Training Video.

I really haven't tried to see how thick of a material it will work in, at lot of that depends on what nut sets you use, they come in different sizes. The biggest thing to watch is that you get the stud screwed into the certs far enough not to pull the threads out of the nut certs. I am thing around an 1/8"thick maybe a little more if you are careful.

I don't recommend these as they are too thick and have completely changed my bite.My dentist now has to do extensive work in order to get my teeth to meet properly again.Its worth getting a custom one from your dentist.

If this is for vehicle maintenance I would buy a larger socket set either way. The 123 piece set is prolly your best bet considering it has regular and deep sockets all the way to 17mm. I personally bought the 145 piece set since it has wrenches too.

You need to push them in pretty hard in order to set them in the socket. I think I used a rubber mallet

Harder than softer. Think athletic mouth-guard but a little harder. I have only had these properly fitted ones fall out two times in over a year, even with a relatively hard surface They are very durable and good for hard grinders, but I hope that he ships them back to you in a timely manner.
