How are the newer Blue Point sockets?

[chris142]

The Taiwan made ones. Worth the price or are the Great neck ones at A-Zone just as good?

I like my Bluepoint ¼" drive set - they've been very good to me with no concerns about quality.

I like the one's I have and if I ever break one, I just need to turn it into the SO guy for a replacement.

I think they are better quality wise than my CM/Armstrong sockets.

If you're gonna go Taiwan for Sockets I'd say go Kobalt. Nice finish and Lifetime warranty. Plus there are Lowes stores everywhere.

They have 19 piece 6-point socket sets for $19.97 right now. 8 regular sockets, 8 deep sockets, 3'' extension, u-joint, and 3/8'' drive ratchet.

I've used mine in a full time shop for the last 3 years, and i have yet to break one. 3/8 and 1/4.

Do you have the part number? A quick search of the site didn't turn up anything.

Thats interesting. I hope it actually happens.

 

[Hyster Gareth]

That would be good news. All my Blue Point is old USA manufactured never had an issue with it.

I wonder why they are bringing the line back to the USA?

 

[SMKS]

The Williams imported sockets should be identical to the Blue Point sockets. The Williams imported tools and Blue Point tools are generally the same. Williams is usually cheaper, too.

Any more news on the Blue Point line coming back to the USA?

 

[chris142]

I love my BP service sets, I use them on my cart and they seem to take abuse pretty good.

Same here, I use the piss out of mine every day and they perform just as good as my higher priced sockets
