NEIKO 02433A 3/8” Drive Standard and Deep Metric Impact Socket Set | 26 Pieces | Metric 7mm to 19mm | Premium Cr-V Steel | 6-Point Hex Design | Corrosion Resistant Black Phosphate Coating

As someone who takes on mechanical projects more as a hobby than a profession, I recently found myself in need of an impact socket set for use with my Milwaukee M12 driver. High-end, brand-name sets seemed overkill for my level of use, leading me to the NEIKO 3/8-Inch-Drive Impact Socket Set. This set appeared to offer the balance of quality and affordability I was looking for.Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was the uneven coating of oil on the sockets, intended to prevent rust. While initially a bit concerning, it turned out to be a minor issue that didn’t affect the set's functionality. The sockets themselves are robust and have so far handled the tasks I've thrown at them with ease. From casual automotive work to various home repairs, this set has proven to be quite capable.The practicality of this NEIKO set is its standout feature. It's straightforward and unpretentious, yet it includes some commendable qualities. The durability, thus far, has been satisfactory. One month into using them, and they've shown no signs of wear or failure, which speaks to their build quality for the price point.While not adorned with the prestige of more recognizable brands, this socket set fulfills my requirements perfectly. It's a practical choice for anyone like me—a simple mechanic who enjoys dabbling in projects without needing professional-grade tools. I plan to monitor the longevity of these sockets and will provide updates on their performance. As of now, they are a valuable addition to my toolkit, effectively supporting both my work and home repair needs.

I usually spend more on socket sets, but after hearing several people rave about Neiko sockets, I decided to purchase the complete 3/8-inch metric set. So far, I'm quite impressed with the quality. The sockets grip the bolts firmly, and despite dropping a couple of them and using my impact wrench numerous times, none have chipped, cracked, or shattered. The socket numbers have remained visible and have not faded. The case is sturdy and well-organized, with clamps that keep it securely closed. I also appreciate the two empty slots, where I store some of my many 10mm sockets. Overall, I plan to purchase another Neiko socket set in the future.

Works great… it’s a socket set 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great Value. Nice Case. Made in Taiwan.

Overall I am happy with this impact socket set I have used them quite a bit with both pneumatic and electric impact guns both 3/8 and 1/2 drive with an adapter. No complaints really the sockets seem to be made well, the sizes are not too tight or too loose and the metal seems to be properly heat treated and the black oxide coating does its job.The case is also pretty good too its standard blow molded plastic but the design is good there is not a bunch of wasted space so the case is slim and seems to be pretty durable.I have experienced one failure and that was with the wobbly joint which is not really surprising because it was a pinned type wobbly and those fail pretty much without fail.I do wish the sockets were a bit thinner but lets be realistic and look at the price and not compare them to something like a Snap On or Matco impact socket.I would have liked a little bit less oil/preservative coating on them from the factory but that really is nitpicking.Overall I would say a fair value for the money.

good looking set. seems to be a really good point between a walmart kind of junk, and something priced out of this world like snap on. fits my other driver handles perfectly and these have a little hole drilled where the ball bearing of the driver fits in for a perfect hold.

Money well spent

I was looking for some 3/8" impact sockets, as many times the 1/2" impact wrench is overkill for what I need. I had some previous Neiko products, and was satisfied with the quality so decided to go for them again. They certainly work fine, but I can see some wear vs unused sockets on the part that goes on the wrench. I assume this could be a tolerance issue with either the tool or socket, but I have several brands of 3/8" impact wrenches, and the sockets have had the issue with all of them. It could be that my wrenches have hog rings and these have the pin detent setup, but they certainly wobble more than I would expect either way. Time will see if they last, but overall, happy with the case and ease of seeing the size.
