- Welcome to my channel! Here is a review on the Harbor Freight brand Pittsburgh deep impact sockets. Standard / SAE and Metric / MM
The sockets I bought were both 24.99 and THERE ARE NO SETS WITHOUT SKIPS ANYMORE! THIS LINK IS THE CLOSEST TO THEM! - www.harborfreight.com/12-in-d...
HANSON TRAYS AMAZON LINK (off brand at harbor freight may be cheaper but these ROCK!) - www.amazon.com/Hansen-Global-...
Working on semi trailers, i mostly use standard. Three years with the Pittsburgh. 1/2 inch drive and 3/4 inch drive hasn't failed me yet.
That’s great input, thanks for the comment!
Great video like the energy you put in to them keep it up can’t wait to see more unboxing and tool box tour
Thanks a lot IsmaelRojas! Subscribe to keep updated! :)
I was subscriber #2 lol so I’m here for the long haul
I own the short and deep sets of both Standard and Metric from HF and have beat the hell out of them for years and nothing has happened. I also wanted to try something cheap for our RV too, so I got some deep Metric and Standard impacts from Tractor Supply Company and I have been impressed so far! There are no skips and I even go out and grab them for other jobs or customer builds and they have held up perfectly! The reason I'm so amazed is because they're even cheaper than the HF ones and don't skip sizes!
Thanks for the video. I am shopping for deep sockets for my truck for RV Trailer, Tire Lug Nuts and want to have a case to contain the sockets. I do agree it would be good to have all the sockets, but I want to be able to identify them at a glance. Thanks again for your video!
I bought some of these about 8 years ago I only broke the 19mm while my coworker has been through a few of those snap on ones
Makes sense for ripping lug nuts off every day, I thought about getting 19 and 21 form snap on for for a quick and easy replace someday
Just picked these up and for a DIY, they're great.
Mr. Teran they hold up great and you always have that lifetime warrantee if they don’t, great deal!
Great sockets, i've had them for years and have the same "complaints". For the skipped 11 &12 i use my chrome sockets as well..i don't see the point of 1/2" drive for fasteners that small. I used stick on numbers from the dollar store and spray paint to make it easier to identify the sockets.
I just bought a 21mm Duralast for almost 15 dollars at AutoZone These impact sockets look and feel like the real deal ! They remind me of my Matcos I bought over 30 years ago ..
How are they compared to other impact sockets like tekton, icon, and craftsman impact sockets?
Have used the HFdeep impact sets in industrial work, have taken 3/4 drive gun reduction to 1/2” and hammered on them for years, and 7 other ticks, in the shop have use them going on 25 years not one broke
Great feedback on these, thank you!
I use these professionally and they are great. One thing about the sizes skipping is like since it skips 16mm you could sub 5/8 because it’s nearly the same if not the same size also so that’s a good thing you have both sets.
It’s always good to have both, if I start rounding something off I’ll hammer on whatever the tightest fitting socket
@@ericmurrell723 true. Though I don’t think I could hammer on a socket lol.
Would u recommend these for taking off wheel lug nuts ? I just started as lube tech . Are these the best bang for ur buck?
@@pvnchos1478 they are good. Harbor Freight also sells lug nut sockets. They are thin wall with a removable sleeve to keep from damaging the rim. Also good for when an impact socket won’t fit into the wheel to take the lug nut off.
@@pvnchos1478 I have these and would definitely recommend. Most lug nuts will be max torque 150ftlbs. These should easily be capable of 400ftlbs.
What do you think of Dewalts and Husky’s?
Try putting white nail polish on the engraved numbers then wiping off excess with acetone and a cloth
These things are surprisingly well made for their price. The standard chrome Pittsburgh sockets are not too great though and are easy to break. I've used the hell out of these impact sockets, impact gun and by hand and never broke even one of these over the years!
If you're talking about using Chrome sockets on an impact then that's why they broke.
@norge696 Never used chrome on an impact before. The hf chrome sockets would eventually end up cracking for me by hand.
I need to get me some. I always use coupons. I am to cheap to pay full price at harbor freight
Best deals available anywhere! I think i've seen these sets for $19.99 on sale
I’m looking to buy a set of these or the Kobalts. For an DIYer at home, is it worth picking up the shallows too, or just the deeps?
I only have the deeps at home because I mainly use them for lug nuts and suspension, for the DIYer you can always take an extra few minutes and use a chrome socket on a ratchet if you need the extra space for a shallow socket
I do mainly woodworking and mainly assembling of projects that require bolts or lag nuts. Should I get regular size or the deep size set? thx
It depends if you will need the space. If you find yourself in tight spaces, get yourself the regular size.
If you don’t find yourself on small spaces, then the deep give more clearance
i just went to lowes and got the kobalts for the ones hf skipped..they sell them individually for cheap.
Great to know, wish I added that into the video! Thanks!
What ones are skipped?
I have klutch deep and standard impact sockets they are 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 21 22 24 27 and they come in a nice plastic case!
Prove me wrong but always buy the cheapest impact sockets, regular sockets maybe not
These can be used on 1/2 torque wrench right?
Yes
While they can be used on a torque wrench keep in mind that impact sockets are a softer steel than chrome sockets.
@@anthonynoronha577 are you sure? I’m gonna google this but why would impact sockets be softer if they’re used for “impact” so they should be able to handle the torque without warping
@@eVerProductions1 absolutely positive, if they were a hardened steel they would be more brittle and break instead of absorbing the energy. Had a co worker using a chrome socket on an impact unfortunately it shattered while using and had a piece of the socket lodged in his face just under his eye. No he wasn’t wearing safety glasses so could have been much worse.
@@eVerProductions1 They are slightly softer steel, but that's the entire point. I dunno why he's saying be cautious.. I know guys who don't even own chromes and use impacts for literally everything. These don't really deform.. that was mostly a thing back in the early 2000s for some reason. Chrome are made harder because they are made for slower applications of torque, as it helps them remain stronger.
Are your harbor freight sockets Cr-v or Cr-mo?
the last ones I bought were cr v
Cr v I believe there probably the best for the money I’ve used other impact sockets that would usually be in the same price range but we got for free and there garage compared to these ones the standard I dont thing skips any sizes but the metric skips like 11,12,16,20 and a few more
Just got the icon metric set. With tax it was $75.. kinda having some regrets. Oh well
strr60seven unsolicited I like that set, I don’t think it skips any sized so you’ll never be missing one when you need it, keep if for life and you’ll get your money’s worth! Thanks for the comment
@@colinsview it skips the 20, 23, 25 and I think the 26 and 29
I don't remember for sure lol I'll have to look. But I know they're are a few skips.
@@strr60sevenunsolicited61 thats a shame, at least it isnt missing lower crucial sized like anything between 10 and 19
Another thing to ad if your a professional mechanic you dont need to see the size of the socket you can tell the size just looking at it! That ability only comes from years of wrenching!
Very true! should know the bolt and socket at first sight after years of experience for sure. Thanks for the comment!
@@colinsview It happens.. my grandpa ran a hot rod shop and I've been wrenching for over 25 years and still look at sizes. Some guys like my dad who was an aerospace engineer, never look at sizes.. but my brain works differently.
Buy the set and then ad the missing ones at a auto parts store and your good
Great idea for most people, some might not like the non matching height or color but that would work for sure! or if you can get husky or different Pittsburgh that doesnt skip for a couple extra bucks!
@@colinsview are they full sets?
@@colinsview are they full sets?
Hahaha i literally just got home from harbor freight and i bought these exact ones. They are all there but the 3/4 was swapped out for a 19mm.
Lol I’m the opposite way I have my good set at home and cheap set at work lol can’t pain to waste my prized collection on other peoples cars I’m also an absolute freak
He's missing a 12mm !
Skip sets piss me off to no end.
Dig at Chevy? Jeez lol
No I wish I had one, didn't mean it negatively haha
