[gtlaw]

I figure these are a decent deal the cheapest I could find a grey pneumatic set for is about $130

Grey Pneumo would be a good deal, howeva', this is for "chicago" pneumo - which can be had all day long for about 30 bucks. Sears closeout still priced too high.

that would be so for non magnetic of either brand but these are magnetic

does anyone know if the magnet is spring loaded?
by looking at the picture seems like the magnet is pretty deep which would be a disadvantage when using flanged nuts and bolts
does anyone have any other pictures?

Ordered these.

I believe they are spring loaded. Now they have to put the standard on closeout for me!!

 

[gtlaw]

They would be almost useless if not spring loaded. I have sywr free shipping so if they **** ill return them to my local store

Anyone notice that the description on the 'Specifications & Dimensions' shows 1/4" & 12 pcs?

I bit; well see if they kick me out like with that jitterbug sander

i jumped in on this, free shipping with sywr

i got tracking info this morning on it, but didn't ship yet

I got these today they are 3/8" 13 piece and from the looks of the case I would bet they came from the same factory as grey the magnets are sprung and seem to hold nuts even flanged ones well

can you post pictures of the inside of the sockets?
also have you tried using on a non-flanged nut? how hard is to get it out?
thanks

 

[gtlaw]

sorry I don't have time for detailed pics right now but I noted about 1/2" of travel on the magnet and they are about 1/16" deeper than the average nut. on larger sizes non flanged nuts won't fall out when shaken you will need a bolt or tool to pull them out

Well...since I have a 3/8's electric impact on the way, I guess I need sockets for it
