When you want it bad, you get it bad. I found out in the middle of a strut job that I had to pull the steering hub to clear the new strut. I hunted around, and yes, these are the cheapest axel sockets you can get - in every sense of the word. They are not true - 30mm may be 31mm, 29mm may be 27mm. Their manufacture uses a stamp method that resulted in at least two of the sockets not even being centered. Astro Pneumatic has been unavailable to even discuss replacing the two off-center sockets (they are so close to the thin wall they are unquestionably going to fail). I was able to R&R the steering hub, but I will dump these at the first opportunity - I don't see how you could ever really depend on them - and they will most likely fail when you need them the most. Spend the $20 on the exact socket you need, invest in a better set, or buy mine if you want.

A great axle nut socket set. 7 sockets ensure you will have the right size socket to break free almost any axle nut. I used the 30 mm on my son's 1994 Hyundai rear drums and was easily able to break the nuts free using a 1/2 inch ratchet with a pipe placed over the ratchet handle. The socket fit the nut perfectly with no play. I used to go to a local auto store and get a 4 socket axle nut set on the tool loan program. This socket set may not be your most used tool set but at this price it is convenient to have on hand instead of getting a loaner. I'm very happy with this set and wished I had purchased it sooner. It is well built, reasonably priced, and Amazon's free shipping sealed the deal.

thought these where going to be good socket when i got them they looked good.....boy was i wrong. Ive had them for 3 months and already had 2 of them break... I mean EXPLODE!!! they litterally blew in half trying to take a bolt out. my impact hit twice and it blew apart. these sockets could really hurt someone and dont recommend them at all to anyone for any type of use. one time use and it blew up. save your hands or eyes and buy a name brand.
