Some good deals here but as usual quantity is limited. Best deals are on the Universal sockets I built out a set for $30 that would cost $90 elsewhere.

Care to give some examples? I'm coming up with normal pricing on individuals, however sets appear to be on sale....


I'm trying to decide between the 12-pt metric universals and the 6pt alternatives... Also whether to go 1.4" drive or 3/8". I'm thinking for starters the 3/8" would be more versatile but try e pricing seems better on 1/4". At present I only have a literal handful of deep-well impact sockets, everything else is chrome of various origins. That said, I'd like to convert and the universals from Sunex are top-notch.

eh too much effort trying to piece a set together, big MM sockets are fairly priced. as for anything 3/8 or 1/4 drive metric, seems to be 12pt...


12pt impact? yeah great seller those.

Head bolts, Ford driveline bolts, Jeep unit bearing bolts.....12pt impact is used:thumbup:

I picked up a bunch of randoms to fill in some spots, having Prime helps this deal!

Thanks Notch, I'll likely nab a few from the list!

I'm taking suggestions if there are some specific sizes I should add to my kit. I pondered going all 12pt due to versitility but don't trust myself that much on a wayward bolt; thus my focus became 6pt impacts, starting with the universals. I primarily wrench on Jeeps (XJ's) and a newer BMW but haven't gone deep enough to note specific 12pt needs yet aside from engine internals.

I'll be honest, ten years in automotive. And never heard of this brand ...

You must not frequent this board then, as there are many people that rave about Sunex as being one of the best bangs for your buck. I bought their complete 3/8 kits when they did the rebate and free add-on mid lengths. I got the metric and SAE standard, mid, and deep (like over 60 sockets total I believe) for under $170. They are so thick they can't fit my harbor freight socket trays lined together. Love them.

They haven't really had great distribution, only since Amazon picked them up have they really come out of the shadows.

I'm going to pickup the universal kits in metric for 1/4-drive and 3/8-drive, however there are a few 12pt or SAE sizes that I could see being handy, just not enough to justify buying sets.

Ordering:
Sunex 314ud 3/8-Inch Drive 7/16-Inch Deep Universal Impact Socket by Sunex
$3.48

Sunex 326ud 3/8-Inch Drive 13/16-Inch Deep Universal Impact Socket by Sunex
$3.76

Sunex 324ud 3/8-Inch Drive 3/4-Inch Deep Universal Impact Socket by Sunex
$4.53

Sunex 313mzud 3/8-Inch Drive 13-Mm 12-Point Metric Universal Socket by Sunex
$3.88

Some of the prices already changed from Notch's list, otherwise my list might have been longer.

Bought a fair few, mostly 1/2" metrics but a few SAE as well, there are some cheap 3/4" drive as well if you use them. The Amazon list price is nonsense though.

12, 13, and 14 off the top of my head.

I'd like to see how you managed to fit an impact in on a Jeep unit bearing bolt. I've pulled apart many a Dana 30 and have always done them with either a doubled up wrench or shallow 1/2" drive 13mm on a breaker bar.

Ford driveline? Sure, I can see it on the flange bolts for the 8.8.

EDIT: I do have the 3/8 Sunex set from when they were doing the rebate- I was able to part out most of one of my Jeeps with that set and an M18 3/8's impact. Sockets were awesome and held up great, case is really nice as well.

Sorry, should have added I use a 3/8 Snap On 12pt SWIVEL impact for unit bearings.:lol:

I also have the Sunex driveline swivels now, they were mainly for Ford driveshafts. Those are EXCELLENT for front end work as well as driveline stuff.
