I am an ASE Master Certified Automotive tech that on occasion does work on the side at the house. Recently had a brake job on a VW Jetta and got a nasty surprise when I went to do the rears. So I bought these hoping they would be good enough. I was pleasantly surprised on how tough they are. Those bolts were really stuck on there, at one point even a 1/2 impact wouldn't move them (due to the swivels and extensions to reach them). These are definatly worth the money.

Excellent quality tool. I am a 35 year professional mechanic and hate paying high prices for anything that I don't need to. These drive bits are as good as anything on the market but at a down to earth price. I have seen lots of garbage tools in my time and was a little hesitant to buy these tools. I was very pleasantly surprised at the good quality of this purchase.

I bought this set to use on my '03 VW Jetta TDI (brakes, seats, CV joint, etc...). The bits are made in Taiwan, but the quality is great. My particular set came with a duplicate 12mm and was missing the 10mm. I called the manufacturer customer service (HQ in California) and a person immediately answered the phone. I explained my situation and they mailed me a replacement bit with no questions asked. I will definitely buy from them again.

Started the job with the wrong tool. Stripped out two bolts. I was able to use this to hammer into the stripped bolts and remove them both. Not a recommended use but it worked. Learned my lesson but I'm happy to say this tool showed absolutely no damage from my misuse. Still looks brand new.

I purchased theses for the 14mm triple square bolts on the rear brakes of a VW Jetta (A5) TDI. These bolts were on so tight I had to leg press the ratchet while holding the wheel well. The bit, however, made it through unscathed. These things are tough and very well made. They arrive in a case of reasonable quality with a light coating of protective oil. Very happy with the quality and price, considering a 14mm 12 point bit by itself was typically $15-$20 dollars when purchased elsewhere. Would buy again.

A must for anyone working on German cars. The triple square is the perfect fit for those XZN bolts and allows you to apply quite a bit of torque without the concern of slippage.

Don't let the fact that they're manufactured in Taiwan deter you. Durston Manufacturing ensures the VIM products are first quality regardless of where they're made.

I bought these because they were cheap and had good reviews. I used them to change the axle on my 2002 Audi A6, as an ASE certified mechanic with a bachelors degree in Auto Service Science i have use many different brands and styles of tools and these are very high quality and i gave them a good beating with the impact and didnt round them at all.

These tools are really nice looking. I mean really nice. Used them on my vehicle, and they fit great, no slipage. Looks like they will last a long time. Don't know how long the case will last but im sure the tools will last a long time.

Product arrived as a incomplete set. I received two 12M bits and needed the 14M for my 2009 VW rear brakes. Once I noticed the problem, I emailed the seller and the seller promptly sent out the correct bit without requesting anymore money. As a UH-60 Helicopter Mechanic, I would recommend this product and this seller.

I purchased these to work on my VW Passat. These are high quality steel, at least as good as any other brand name tool. (Sears, Snap-on, etc).
