Grey's Pneumatic Duo sockets, anyone tried yet?

[Engineer61]

Has anyone tried the "Duo" sockets on a 1/2" impact gun yet? Do they hold up at all? I need to get a set of std length metric sockets and wonder if these will let me use them with a Milwaukee cordless impact wrench or if I will just end up breaking them.

Do a search, they've been talked about on here before.

I did a search, if I just searched on Duo nothing was found, if I searched on Duo Sockets every thread about sockets was returned. Is there anyway to specify that all words must be found? I didn't find this option in the advanced search window.

It is easier to search in google, just put garage journal in the terms you are searching for.

They are great. Just dont buy 12 point. They wont last long with heavy impact use.

The sockets are quite solid, but the extensions are pretty weak. However, the extensions are among the best wobble extensions I've ever used, just don't stress them too much.

If you are planning on using them every day professionally you may want to get their standard weight impacts, I have the duo in 3/8" as well as heavier ones, all have held up well so far but I am not a professional wrench at this point.

Thanks for the replies. I'm just a weekend mechanic so these won't get the constant use of professionals; but then again this is the first impact gun I've ever had so the gun and sockets may get some abuse until I get some experience with them.
