There 3/8 and 1/2 sockets are awesome. Absolutely no issues with them. I only buy wright and Williams at this point as they are cheap and USA made

I I’m a heavy duty diesel mechanic and I work on DD15/DD13 engines in Freightliner cascadias and the head bolts are 12 point 3/4 headed bolts and the flywheel bolts are 12 point 3/4 headed bolts. Sometimes my 1/2” Milwaukee can’t get the head bolts or flywheel bolts off

Recently I got a 3/4 ingersoll Rand air impact wrench and I’ve been purchasing 3/4 12 point impact sockets and I purchased a 13/16 and a 15/16 at first. 13/16 came with a defect where the 12 point end is off center.

I’ve spoken to Sunex and they said the quality will remain identical (unlikely) but now the markings are easier to identify and now the drive end is chamfered so I guess that’s something

Yep this is what their new stock looks like. If you get the red case it’s old stock but from now on they are manufactured in mainland China but Matco is still using Sunex even though they are in China now. Kinda sad because I love Sunex for the price point but I don’t want to support China so I...

Cornwell blue power is also Sunex

Taiwan and China are usually specified. Sunex has now moved all of their impact sockets to China to be manufactured there

Originally the ADV was made in Taiwan and outsourced to Sunex but now Sunex has outsourced impact socket production to China now. Their modern impact sockets look like this now

Sunex sockets are now made in China so matco is still sourcing from Sunex. My matco dealer says
