Impact hex bits?

[jdelrizzle]

It seems snap on has the best non impact socket bits, but I'm looking for impact hex bits, a complete set would nice, best I could find is this one:

Stubby is fine, what do you guys think about this set? Any owners have any reviews?

I have had the longer (1.5 inchish) version and used it on my cordless impact for about a year with no issues at all. That being said i have the 3/8 metric and standard set and I only hammer on them with my 12 volt Max DeWalt cordless. I havent found a fastener they cant undo with that combination and havent had any twisting or rounding.

I have no experience with these but I must say those look bitchin. Really nice to get into tight spots, the only criticism I can muster is all the skips. Would work fine for Jap cars though.

I have the 1/4 dr Blue-Points but as OP said those are non-impact. I had no idea someone was making 3/8 one piece bits. Now I'm interested.

They're only 36.25 on tooltopia.

A guy at the CAT dealership that i worked at had the Matco ADV one piece hex impacts. Like most Matco tools they were junk and twisted and round off quite easily

Vim sells both std and metric impact hex sockets and I own them and they still look like new after use.
http://www.vimtools.com/store/page6.html this is a page with new items on it but check the home page for other impact hex sockets

I know you're not supposed to, but I rattle my chrome snappy allens and HD torx with my snap on cordless 3/8ths gun. I don't go easy on them at all. The bits hold up pretty well, and I just warranty them on the truck when they get bad.

I have proto in SAE at work. 3/8 and 1/2 drive. Typical proto tool, nothing special just works.

I have some 1/2 drive Proto's. I like them

I have the sunex, they're very useful. The stubby design seems less likely to round/snap.

I have some GP from years ago and they are great. Some of the only non-snap sockets I own.

Cripe has some SAE Armstrongs...
