I’ve used an impact with the Lisle weighted socket tons of times in Honda/Acuras for crank seals and timing kits on J series without issue.
Never heard not to use an impact and doubt I’m gonna stop now.
If you’re referring to the set on the left I agree. It took me about 2 years to find one. My dealer mentioned in passing that an old timer was retiring his truck. I gave him the part number and said if he had one to grab it for me. So I got lucky and snagged it at retail price.
However the...
No warranty at all or no warranty directly thru them? I know vim is weird about warranties directly thru them, but I’ve had zero issues going thru my Cornwell dealer to get stuff replaced.
I guess I’m weird. I care far more about how pliers perform while grabbing something, over how they look when grabbing nothing.
I have those pliers and they work great. Never studied how they look when grabbing nothing.
I like mine. I work on forklifts and equipment so the super long 3/8”s gets used almost daily. The locking mech isn’t great but it’s fine. Never broken it and I’ve reefed on it many times where I should’ve used a 1/2”.
