I have the matco adv set which is made by the same manufacturer (ptp) in Taiwan and I also work on Cats and the sockets are awesome. I most work on 657s, d11s/d10s, 395s, big stuff and nothing has broke yet.
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.
Yeah, definitely the 2 best. Although 1 is better at referencing the brilliant "Red Green Show". Real Tool Reviews just needs to master Stewies voice and they'll be on equal entertainment ground;)
00JJ ...Today we will be reviewing old man Sedgwick’s impact wrench, because mine is held together with duct tape. Let’s see if we can get a lug nut off the opossum van. Well, it appears we’re having technical difficulties with the compressor and hose. So, we’re just going to get a hammer and a wrench.
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.
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 !!!!
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
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 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!
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 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!
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.
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.
+jameannohere I agree that chrome sockets are still thinner....however, many people (especially DIYers) would easily be able to get their repairs done solely with this set. They are much thinner than 1/2" impact sockets & work fine with hand tools. However, you are correct....comparing chrome sockets to impact sockets....the chrome sockets are the thinner ones.
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.
+Banshee365 They have hinged lids on some sets.....this particular one though has the one-piece design case. I know that the Sunex 1874 (1/4" master set) has a hinged lid ---- I actually removed/reinstalled it this afternoon just to see if I could.
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
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
+Richard Cowtails Sunex makes excellent sockets....you will not be disappointed. By the way, I think that they are running a 20% off sale on Amazon (link in the description) until 10/31/2015 on these....so just over $50! with free s/h..
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 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 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?
If you place a 10mm 1/4", 3/8", & 1/2" drive socket next to each other, you'll see a massive size difference.....although they are the same "size", they won't work in the same situations or conditions.....many times a 1/4" drive socket will work where the others just won't fit.....and etc. It is better to have overlaps, since it depends greatly on what you are working on, to determine which impact, air ratchet, etc that you will be using.
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
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!
the reason you use a impact socket is because it is a softer metal then a chrome socket. And the constant force from hand tools will wear out the sockets faster. The chrome handles the constant force better but doesn't handle the impact as well
+Jeff Wang Always read warranties......many are specifically designed to never actually pay a claim......SUNEX is excellent and doesnt play the same games as others. Personally I dont see why under normal use an impact socket would fail with hand tools.....other than extensions (I have broken impact extensions with a ratchet), but I warn people so they dont accidentally void their warranties. Chrome sockets can literally explode if used on an impact.....never a good idea, even in an emergency.
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!
K Lewis i believe the majority of impact sockets are like this. Sunex makes thin walled 1/2 sockets (i use them for wheels) for stuff that my impact sockets dont fit on i have a set of scrap harbor freight sockets i use. works everytime almost.
Look into the Grey Pneumatic, they work great for me, I am a mobile mechanic / part remover / seller and I dont have the room for multiple sets of sockets in my bag and the GP 3/8 set gives me deep and shallow sockets that are thin walled and impact. seriously amazing set and under 60$
+Creative Mechanic We bought this set about a year ago.....however it just depends on the tool to be honest....check out our disclosure here & it explains it pretty well ---> www.realtoolreviews.com/disclosure/
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
+Ryan H I could not believe that price....it was borderline giving them away! Even this set has $25 MIR I believe. I will have some reviews coming up for the new master sets....and I really like the fact that they dont randomly skip sizes. Good to hear you got a set!
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.
All you need to do is click on the link in the description & go to the Amazon page --- as long as it is not already in your cart or watchlist ---- everything you buy in that visit is included under the affiliate program. You do not need to click on separate links for each item. Thanks!
I think I'll just copy paste all the extra stuff in your url to the stuff in my wishlist. I have a bunch of Sunex and Wera stuff in my wishlist because of your videos.
I bought the metric set and I used them for the first time today: I don't feel that a chamfer makes any difference. It mushrooms out quicker but I'm not gonna sweat it, it's not like I payed $400 for the set I don't really expect, nor care about one as it doesn't affect anything.
I ended up buying the master set a month ago and am happy with it. Can't beat the price, and in the couple times I've pulled a socket from it for impact use it fit snug and did the job. I still wish it had the chamfer - just would be the final touch on a great low cost set - even HF impact sockets have that. Takes a second or two to line up the anvil precisely but I'm not complaining - more important is just having a set with no skips for when I need it instead of borrowing a tool or going to the store.
+Randy Slodysko Very similar.....the Sunex sockets have the sizes laser engraved & embossed in the metal.....the GP sockets only have the sizes laser engraved (none are stamped/embossed).
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?
The other tool truck brands do as well.I have the Lang #279 brake caliper press whom also makes it for Matco,Mac and Snap On under the Blue Point name.
I have the ADV 3/8” master set and I’ll have to look but I’m pretty sure it’s laid out the same. It’s been a good set so far. Too bad I just paid too much if it is a Sunex. I know Cornwells part numbers the first couple letters tells what the manufacturer is. They have a a lot of Astro rebranded stuff along with numerous other brands, I’m considering buying more stuff online by the actual original manufacturer and less of the rebranded tool truck brands for much higher prices.
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.
Good point, the torque from the impact wrench disappears into the abyss, thereby violating the laws of physics of conservation of energy, but only in the Real Tool Reviews garage :D
If you want larger sets......Sunex is ideal for large complete sets & TEKTON is ideal for small complete sets (such as all 1/2" metric deep like the #4883). Both have excellent warranties.
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?
+arnulfo rosas I think that they are both great quality. They do not offer the same sets, so it really isnt a fair fight....since some people prefer large master sets & other people like smaller sets. I personally carry the Tekton 4883 set in the vehicle 365 days/year along with a cordless impact....it is small (relatively speaking) and fits in a the stowaway. That being said, it only includes deep well 1/2" drive sockets & could not do the things that this set could (or vise versa). The main thing to keep in mind, is to get complete sets with no missing sizes & a good warranty (which Tekton & Sunex both have).
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.
+Real Tool Reviews do you have a video of the Milwaukee cordless impact 3/8 ?????.... Your video of the Milwaukee fuel M12 high torque 2763-22 help my to buy that one and since then I been happy with the performance
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.
How is that case holding up?
I have the matco adv set which is made by the same manufacturer (ptp) in Taiwan and I also work on Cats and the sockets are awesome. I most work on 657s, d11s/d10s, 395s, big stuff and nothing has broke yet.

oh,wrench was Milwaukee 2754. with 5.0 ah battery.
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
The Sunex impacts are the biggest bang for the buck. I have the 1/2 set and run them on a IR titanium.
I used the tip edge of a sharpie on the raised size markings in the case, much easier to see size quickly
Buy sunex 1818 1/4" set highly recommend it I use it daily never failed me.
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
TNASI Tuning thank you for pointing this out I was about to but this kit but I will get that one instead now
TNASI Tuning Sunex 3580 would love for him to review it
Or compared to Snap-On @ $1,000,000.00
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!
+Ozzy ô Nice.....I love this set....works great & no skipped sizes!

+CatDieselPower99 Thanks! I am glad to know that they are working out for you :)
Just bought this to go with my new Milwaukee stubby impact! Nice set!
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
+az man 2013 Awesome! Good to hear!

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.
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.
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.
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.

+Parminder Virdi It amazes me at how much tools cost in other countries....you are correct....shipping is outrageous!
Why on earth would companies not warranty the impact sockets if used on hand tools? That's really weird. Great video!!!

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
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
+Garrett Arney Nice!
I've been looking at these for awhile
+Richard Cowtails Sunex makes excellent sockets....you will not be disappointed. By the way, I think that they are running a 20% off sale on Amazon (link in the description) until 10/31/2015 on these....so just over $50! with free s/h..
I know....i JUST ORDERED THEM!!!!! hahahahahah I was like "ohh shit its only 55 bucks" CHEAP!!!! well worth the money lol
+Real Tool Reviews any idea when the other sets are going onsale?
Which would you prefer, the tekton or the sunnex versionsofthis set?
You should test how much of an effect extensions and adapters have on torque loss.
Already did....check this out --- ruclips.net/video/4hdNk5XBqLs/видео.html

That is fair

+Creative Mechanic That is good to hear....I am glad you like them! Thanks for watching :)
Which impact socket brand do you prefer disregarding price. Sunex or Grey Pneumatic? My only complaint is that GP sizes are not engraved.
+Mad Max Watch my video about Tool Warranties..... ruclips.net/video/n9kqTcViQ4g/видео.html

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

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.
All you need to do is click on the link in the description & go to the Amazon page --- as long as it is not already in your cart or watchlist ---- everything you buy in that visit is included under the affiliate program. You do not need to click on separate links for each item. Thanks!
I think I'll just copy paste all the extra stuff in your url to the stuff in my wishlist. I have a bunch of Sunex and Wera stuff in my wishlist because of your videos.
+George Moore Thanks for the support!
Do you have any thoughts after using them regarding the 3/8" drive side being flat with no chamfer?
I bought the metric set and I used them for the first time today: I don't feel that a chamfer makes any difference. It mushrooms out quicker but I'm not gonna sweat it, it's not like I payed $400 for the set I don't really expect, nor care about one as it doesn't affect anything.
I ended up buying the master set a month ago and am happy with it. Can't beat the price, and in the couple times I've pulled a socket from it for impact use it fit snug and did the job. I still wish it had the chamfer - just would be the final touch on a great low cost set - even HF impact sockets have that. Takes a second or two to line up the anvil precisely but I'm not complaining - more important is just having a set with no skips for when I need it instead of borrowing a tool or going to the store.
How do you feel these compare to the Gray Pneumatic 3/8 Impacts?
+Randy Slodysko Very similar.....the Sunex sockets have the sizes laser engraved & embossed in the metal.....the GP sockets only have the sizes laser engraved (none are stamped/embossed).
are you able to get ahold of some chrome sunex socket sets?
Great review. Thank you
i like your w shop good
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?
Thanks! And I already did....check that out here --- ruclips.net/video/4hdNk5XBqLs/видео.html
thak you
Sunex does make Matco's ADV impact socket line
The other tool truck brands do as well.I have the Lang #279 brake caliper press whom also makes it for Matco,Mac and Snap On under the Blue Point name.
I have the ADV 3/8” master set and I’ll have to look but I’m pretty sure it’s laid out the same. It’s been a good set so far. Too bad I just paid too much if it is a Sunex. I know Cornwells part numbers the first couple letters tells what the manufacturer is. They have a a lot of Astro rebranded stuff along with numerous other brands, I’m considering buying more stuff online by the actual original manufacturer and less of the rebranded tool truck brands for much higher prices.
The sockets you showed where both bigger tha n the sunex why
Do you think it's safe buying snap on hand tools on Ebay or Amazon
I think there are WAY better alternatives than Snap-on for just about everything & at much lower prices....
@@RealToolReviews teckon or gear wrench in your opinion I'm going to start doing my own maintenance work on my semi truck
If only the lids just snapped off so you didnt have to cut it off permanently
Jus order this set from summit racing
Nice job
+George S Thanks a lot George!
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.
100% wrong.
Good point, the torque from the impact wrench disappears into the abyss, thereby violating the laws of physics of conservation of energy, but only in the Real Tool Reviews garage :D
Please watch the torque VS torque loss video.....it explains it very well.
nice
+amjad amj Thanks!
How do these compare to SK, is SK worth the extra money? - broke Proud American 🤣 🇺🇸
Would you recommend sunex over tekton?
If you want larger sets......Sunex is ideal for large complete sets & TEKTON is ideal for small complete sets (such as all 1/2" metric deep like the #4883). Both have excellent warranties.
just ordered this set.. 45 bucks with a discount
+Don Lankford where from?
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?
Would you say Cr-Mo can take a hand tool usage better than Cr-Va?
@Don Quixote 0
so which set do you prefer tekton or sunex?
+arnulfo rosas I think that they are both great quality. They do not offer the same sets, so it really isnt a fair fight....since some people prefer large master sets & other people like smaller sets. I personally carry the Tekton 4883 set in the vehicle 365 days/year along with a cordless impact....it is small (relatively speaking) and fits in a the stowaway. That being said, it only includes deep well 1/2" drive sockets & could not do the things that this set could (or vise versa). The main thing to keep in mind, is to get complete sets with no missing sizes & a good warranty (which Tekton & Sunex both have).
Wow...fast response...thank you
+arnulfo rosas No problem....thanks for watching & commenting!
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.
good info here
+Luis Alonso Thanks Luis!
+Real Tool Reviews do you have a video of the Milwaukee cordless impact 3/8 ?????....
Your video of the Milwaukee fuel M12 high torque 2763-22 help my to buy that one and since then I been happy with the performance
i want these
Debating on this vs gear wrench 84916N
Buy this.
Where can get em? I live in New Jersey.
+Danny P. Diaz I bought them on Amazon (and I put a link in the description)....thanks!
Mail in that rebate for $25 back.
+Khyber Safi I wish....I bought this set over a year ago....so no rebate for me!
If you knew anything about tools you would know the tight fit is more desirable
Unless there is corrosion......or paint...... or it is slightly deformed.....or or or....
too few sockets
I I I iouoi

Extensions do not create torque loss.
You've just lost all credibility man.
Watch the video that I made called “Torque vs Torque loss”. Then come back and apologize.
