Ingersoll Rand PowerSockets

I received an email this morning about the Ingersoll Rand PowerSockets. Looks intriguing.

I did a search but didn't find any postings on GJ about them.

Has anybody tried them?


Cheers,

Rob

I've heard of them before. I think I read reviews on Amazon or somewhere. They say they're pretty good. Actually, doesn't Matco sell them? Maybe that's where I read it.

Lisle has a different approach for more torque: Just make the socket stupid thick & heavy.

Thanks!

My search criteria didn't find anything. I figured they had, most likely, been discussed previously.

the ole Honda crank bolt at it again ... lol ... I'm not sure if other size, besides 19mm, on cars are as stubborn

Can't be much of a 1/2" drive impact that is unable to remove lug nuts from a car.

Or some weakling on a breaker bar.

Of course that is why I carry a 36" 1/2" drive Snap on breaker bar, and a Snap on 36" flex head 1/2" drive ratchet

That bolt was a b*tch to get out at the junkyard for a friend having to have my impact on it for a few minutes working at it non-stop. The first one I found I couldn't get off and the one I got off was my attempt on a second one where the engine was hanging my a mount above me.

So that's why my ears were burning this afternoon.

Besides a honda crank bolt I dont see a need for it. Honestly after getting my cordless hi torque milwaukee fuel 1/2 honda crank bolts are easy.
