    can you trust em?

    I never used harbor freight ones but I would get 3/8 over 1/2 because a lot of times the collar gets in the way. I use a 3/8 and 1/2 impact swivel a lot too. Idk if you have used them before but swivels plus impacts can be dangerous.

    Which size metric fasteners for late 90's-2010-ish GM vehicles? Need new wrench set

    If you ever have to work 3.1,3.4,3.5. A 10mm swivel socket comes in real handy for the 4 outer bolts on the lower intake. I do a lot of 3.1and 3.4 intakes and I really can't imagine doing it without one now. there is a lot of 5.5mm on GM's as well.
