Item in question: https://amzn.to/3Sdhp9v

Edit: FYI your packaging one these 1st early ones may say "8PC" when it's in fact 10PC as a typo, apologies. We're fixing on our side here as few have left so far

I'm still receiving PM's, I'll try to PM you.

I see the conversation, but I'm unable to reply to it (same error) but I started a conversation with Buckgnarly just to test (and it worked). Stupid computers!

Anyway, I e-mailed it to you

Hope that works. Thanks for all the patience.

Thanks Astro!

Any use cases where these extra deep sockets are a must have?

@oldschoolcraft just posted a treatise on this here.

My limited experience is Euro bumper covers.

It was covert guerrilla marketing for @Astro_Pneumatic_Tools you caught me

Thanks Astro!

V band clamps used on all of the turbo/exhaust systems on the diesel pickups I work on. Some of them have the nut threaded so far onto the stud a regular deep socket wont reach and it is hard to get a box end wrench on them.

My exact application, especially Cummins aftertreatment on class 5-8s. Big 13mm band clamps that have 4-5" of thread exposed.

Hey @Astro_Pneumatic_Tools I appreciate the BOGO, I'm going to take a pass, I am at risk of becoming a stage 5 tool hoarder and dont need these at the moment, but I'm glad they exist and if I wind up needing them, I can always overnight them from Amazon.

I think others would be interested in hearing your comment to me in the other thread yesterday which is that you can make a 18mm and 19mm but it won't have markings on them.

Can you talk more about that? How can people here buy the 18 and 19 from you if they need/want them for the complete set?

This is not a standing offer, no. We'd need to custom make 18mm and 19mm sizes for everyone. I was talking about 1-2 spare pieces I had factory side.

The ensuing bidding war on those few spare pieces may be enough to fund a production run.

 

[FlaGman]

In, thanks!

In as well. PM'ed.

Well, I may be interested as well if there are any of those left.

 

[Callelle]

I'd also be interested in any 18 / 19mms left. Also I sent via PM.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Just sent you the pm Chris.

Like most of the Astro BOGO’s I’ve been a part of in the past, I order the tools and find a use for them later. It always seems to work out.

 

[ToolPolisher]

Although I am not partaking in this BOGO I would like to recognize and thank you for offering this up to GJ members.

Kudos to you and the Astro team!

 

[Fedwrench]

Just ordered the deep socket set and PMd you.

Thanks for continuing to offer BOGOs to the Journal.

 

[General Geoff]

Ordered and PMed as well, hopefully there's enough GOs to go around!

 

[vssjim]

Done will wait for the ratchet to come out

 

[WWheeler]

While I'd luv to have that nano ratchet, I had already placed my order a couple weeks ago for these Astro extra deeps while the listing still said it didn't know when they would be back in stock. I don't suppose that since I'm still waiting on them that maybe I'd still qualify for the BOGO? I don't guess it would, but figured I'd ask anyway.

 

[NYBODYMAN]

PM sent. Thank you for doing this!

 

[nerraw117]

Sent pm last night. Thanks for always doing something good like this for this community. I was also wondering why it didnt come with 18/19. 18 is very popular I feel and would get used often I would think.

 

[jsmeece]

Got my wrench in the mail yesterday, Thanks Chris!
Still waiting on my long sockets from Amazon to be delivered.

 

[NYBODYMAN]

Got my extra deep sockets from Amazon the other day. Just awaiting the wrench.

 

[tiredoldironworker]

I got my sockets last week and my ratchet yesterday. I already had the nano sockets. Thank you Chris for the BOGO!

 

[Buckgnarly]

My GO came even before my BO....as always, thanks Astro/Chris!

 

[NYBODYMAN]

Got my GO (ratchet) today. Thanks Chris.

Anyone else have a hard time getting the Nano sockets in and out of the ratchet? Maybe there's a break in period?

Is the retaining ring too small? Can you stretch it out and pop it back in?
