On my local CL for weeks now. Getting info out of the seller has been difficult.

Identical to this Tekton set, besides the color of the case.

So it could be the metric equivalent (blue case instead of red), but definitely one of the Taiwan made rebranded sets.

After searching a bunch online it could be any one of a thousand chinese brands... we would need to see a better picture of the socket itself.

But lets be honest here... if the seller isnt contacting you i wouldnt deal with him. I would order a set of Gray Pneumatics off of amazon or NOS Kobalts from Cripe distributing and make it easy on yourself. Both of the options I have said are very realistic cost wise and you will get a nice product.

He did just text me back that they are 1/2" drive and Taiwan (although his spelling was "tawin" and that's about the most helpful bit of info I've gotten).

The are SAE, 3/8" through 1 1/4". He seems firm at $30.

Molding on top of the case looks identical to the red case of the Tekton set at Lowes.

I found the same SAE set (gray case, not blue) on Amazon for $40 and we have free shipping through Prime. Not going to drive to the next town over in my gas guzzler to "save" $10.

And this is why I love Garage Journal. Thank you so much.

Bingo. Unless they were a diamond in the rough I wasn't going to bother. I'm certain the Tekton sets came up when I googled 14 piece impact socket but I didn't notice the similarities in the case.

i would guess they are cambell hausfeld.. they are usually in some kinda blue boxes when ive seen them for sale at walmart.

im big on having cases for all my impact stuff since i dont have a garage and i need to bring stuff out to the drieway. i bought porter cable 1/2" impacts off amazon really cheap a long time ago, and the things have been great..

Porter-Cable PTA9 1/2-Inch SAE Deep Impact Socket Set, 12-Piece including case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000256S22/?tag=atomicindus08-20
