Need some advice from those who've gone before me. Looking for a 3/8 impact swivel set. 15+ pieces full set but don't want to drop $400 on an S&K set. Carlyle doesn't appear to make what I want. Looking to spend $150ish or less for a decent set. I'm not a pro but my tools see a bit of abuse. They will be going on an Aircat 1076

TIA

15 piece 3/8 drive impact swivel socket set? what size range are you looking for?

Astro just released 10 piece pinless impact swivel sets running 10-19 mm.

Mine are Snap-on and Matco. I didn’t buy full sets just what sizes I needed at the time, the rest of the time I can get by with impact swivel adapter and a socket.

Before you go out and buy a full set, ask yourself - Do I really need a whole set of swivels? If not, buying a single 3/8 impact universal joint is a much cheaper option if you already have 3/8 impact sockets. Even a Snap off one shouldn't run you more than $60 the last time I asked my Snap on guy.

If you still want a full set, there seems to be two styles of Made in Taiwan ones. The pinned ones (such as Sunex) and the newer 6 lobe pinless ones (Astro Pneumatic).

I've had my sunex set for 3 years with no problems yet. I don't know what it costs alone but I got the metric master set with 7-22 swivel, shallow and deep for $125.
