Sunex Universal Impact Sockets
 

I was looking at getting a set of 3/8 drive universal impact sockets. Can anyone provide information (good or bad) about Sunex Tools?

Thanks!

Here's a picture of the universal style sockets I'm asking about. Again, curious if anyone has used the Sunex brand.

Thanks,

What little I've use sunex brand tools they seem to be just as good as craftsmen but I've never used they universe socket I have a 3" cutoff die grinder and it last about 3 years longer then my craftsmen one did

We have some sunex stuff around the shop, I have no complaints about it. I have snap-on swivel sockets, so can't help ye to specifically. I see they have a lifetime warranty which is always good. The joints go bad under heavy use.

I have that exact socket set, and many other Sunex tools - including end wrenches up to 2 1/2", impact (up to 3 1/2") & chrome socket sets. They are import tools, but they are a good value, imo. I use at work (oilfield/drilling) and at home as well. The only two failures I've had is an 1 7/16" deep impact socket that cracked the first time we used it, and a 3/8" ratchet that fell apart the first time I used it - the groove that the snap ring fits in to hold the ratchet pawl wasn't machined right and the snap ring wouldn't stay in. Other than that, they have been solid.

I use 3/4 drive sunex sockets on my torque multiplier on machines at work. I torque up to 1500ft/lbs and have no had any issues yet.

OK..... Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll pull the trigger on some.
