3/8 Swivel Impact Sockets

[Askme42]

The current Gearwrench 1/4 drive swivel impact set along with all of the other brands listed are the pinned type. As of the SEMA show, Gearwrench was NOT releasing a 1/4 drive pinless set which I told the Gearwrench rep was huge friggen mistake.

I'm assuming there are Matco/armstrong in 1/4?

If so how hard could it be to add gearwrench.

Sunex or Gray pneumatic Both good quality and at reasonable price

Armstrong no, Matco yes.

Armstrong no, Matco yes.

This is one of the few things that Matco keeps exclusive and are must haves

Just wish they made deep 3/8 in 22,24mm

you might as well get the craftsman ones for 200 bucks. The gearwrench/matco/armstrong/craftsman all are the same design and probably made in the same factory.

Except the craftsman set doesn't include 19mm as I stated above. Gearwrench (and matco/Armstrong) do. 19mm is a pretty common size, at least for me, so it's not just ocd. Cannot fathom why it isn't included. I recollect even looking for a matching craftsman single to buy separately and it didn't appear it was offered.

ahm

No 19MM would be a deal breaker for me too. Need a 19MM swivel for suspension bolts on the rear struts of my forester. I could buy a shorter impact... but what fun would that be?

Are the impact swivel sockets in the Gearwrench set (P/N 84918) pin or pinless? I have seen this set come up on Amazon a few times at a decent price.

So 19mm is the same as 3/4" SAE?

Close enough.....

I have a snap on 3/4 impact socket that is also stamped with 19mm on the opposite side.

Not exact, but close

Thats why many companies offer smaller sets that skip the metric sizes 11mm, 16mm and a 19mm because they are effectively equivelant to 7/16", 5/8", and 3/4" in standard sizes. That way you don't end up with duplicates of pricey impact wobble sockets and it keeps set prices down.
