I Need Help with a Decision on Matco's Opti-Torque Impact Socket set

[sgtgrizzo]

Hi folks, just curious if anyone has heard, tried or has Matco's Opti-Torque 12 point style impact sockets. I've been hearing really good things about their Opti-Torque wrenches. Removing rusted bolts that a Snap-On box end wont but not much about their Opti-Torque impact sockets. I'm trying to determine if I were to buy them for my 3/8 impact would it be a good Idea. The way I see it, If they would be good enough to use on a 6 point fastener or nut in medium torque impact applications of 300 ft. lbs. and less if that, then I see no point in purchasing a set of 6 point 3/8 impact socket set. I have a set a Matco's 1/2 in. 6 point deep impacts and a 6 point shallow universal joint set. The deep's I use for high torque applications of 300 ft. lbs. or more and the universals I use for the rest. I don't have a 3/8 impact set and space is limited so I don't want to get a 3/8 in. 6 point set If I don't have to. Any tips?

Thank you

This is the set that I'm thinking about purchasing

Hmm the holiday price for students is only 90 bucks.

They are just 12 point sockets I don't know if you are thinking they are some sort of spline drive that muscles off worn nuts and bolts? Those are the ADV line of sockets. I do have the 3/8 metric shallow impact in those in 12 point, they have been fine the times I have used them (on 12 pt bolts and nuts)
