I'll second the mid-length sockets being the most reached for. Once you have them they become a go to. I have 2 sets of the sunex mid-length sockets, one at work and one at home. I'd avoid using chrome sockets on the impact, as you will go through hog rings more often. They also tend to be...

That new m12 stubby is very tempting. If true I could retire my mid torque, as when I need more ugga-duggas I have the high torque.

I also have the 30 & 32mm. Hazet 600LG wrenches 10 - 210mm/8.27" 11 - 220mm/8.66" 12 - 230mm/9.06" 13 - 245mm/9.65" 14 - 255mm/10.04" 15 - 270mm/10.63" 16 - 290mm/11.42" 17 - 305mm/12.01" 18 - 320mm/12.60" 19 - 335mm/13.19" 21 - 365mm/14.37" 22 - 380mm/14.96" 24 - 430mm/16.93" 27 -...

One? The 18" matco locking flex. It's my most used. I mainly deal with suspension though. Still great in the engine bay for tensioners or other items where a long reach is necessary.

The M12 stubby 3/8" impact should do it for you then. 2554-20 This is also an option.

Depends on if your working on trucks or have rust. Here in CA I've used my 3/8" drive converted 2553 and 3453 to pull lug nuts on passenger cars and some light duty pickups. But if overtorque'd, rusty or cross threaded it isn't enough. The closest equivalent that Milwaukee actually produces is...

I just grabbed a set of these from zoro.

Pic & link https://www.harborfreight.com/14-in-drive-metric-professional-universal-joint-shallow-socket-set-70298.html They look to be similar in length to the gear wrench pictured above. So not the shortest but at least the pin or screw won't disappear on you.

I haven't had my hands on them (yet) but HF just released some for their Icon line. They have a welded pin instead of a bolt thru design. They look longer than snap on but for a fraction of the price, it may be an option for you. Ymmv, but snap on are probably the shortest.

Are 1/2 mid-length/depth swivel sockets coming anytime soon?

I have had HF (1/2") now sunex. Also had 3/8" HF, grey pnuematic, astro (nano) and now sunex. I gave my HF away, they worked ok. I sold my grey pneumatic standard and deep set for sunex. The sunex are a thinner wall that gets in places the HF/grey didn't. The sunex mid length/depth are probably...

Checked today, it does have some extra heft but not significantly more.

I didn't pay attention. I'll check tomorrow.

A few size comparison pics of the xc 5.0 vs forge 6.0; my HO 6.0 my brother in law is borrowing or I'd throw it in there. The forge is not quite as long has the HO, which is a good thing. I do wish it had the same footprint as the xc.

Probably went back up. The other deal ended as well.

M12 ratchets aren't good for rusty fasteners. It'll constantly stop trying to run them on/off. You'd want m12 impact or even an impact driver with an adapter.

In that case 8-22mm 3/8" sets, and individuals of the sae sizes that don't overlap. Plus whatever misc sizes in 1/2" you need. If rust isn't an issue.

I've run into 23mm on some hyundai lower control arms more than once. Even 20mm on a couple things as well. Probably just oversized 22 or 19 but...

Probably. But I figured I'd eventually end up with another as kit deals are not uncommon. I have given away (or sold with tool/battery) all my m12 chargers.

Yeah, we can hope. I justified it in my head as a deal, even if it doesn't seem like much of one. I have no cordless grinder and wanted the new batt for the new impact. Also wanted an extra charger to leave at my sisters/brother in laws place.
