[Spookrider]

K-D tool impact axle nut 7p extra long set 29, 30, 3,34,35,36, and 38mm $50.00+$10. shipping.
Or, Astro Pneumatic 7 Pc Metric Axle Nut Socket Set
Compair to Snap-On set for $200.00 for 5p set.
Is any one of one of these set worth investing in to.

In general i have never really seen my self breaking or wearing out any of impact sockets in those sizes (probably would never) . In general i would go with the cheapest ones.... unless wall clearance is an issue some of the cheaper stuff have a thicker wall on em...

the KD set is just fine

SK for like 130$ from sears IIRC. 30-36mm. Probably less from the tool warehouse. I use this set at work, they have held up well for about a year now, then again they get used maybe once a week at most. I generally like SK Impacts.

Buy cheapest price set and you will be happy.

Shop around. you get get the KD set for $47.95 at the toolwarehouse.net. You may also find something you like in Grey Pneumatic or Sunex too. I have an assortment of different brands and they all work well.

I have a 4pc set of KD sockets i bought a while ago and use them almost daily at work and they have held up great.

my question is if you will use it a lot then get better quality like kd but i dont see the reason to spend 200 dollars on snap on socket and not use it often.. if i am as you then i would buy K-D tools and call it quit... KD tools are made by same company (Danaher) but i was bought mac tool (rebadged but cheap price) 29mm, 30mm 32mm, 34mm, 35mm, 36mm, 38mm. it is great set and it is normal impact wall not as thick like S-K tools.. it is made in taiwan... k-d set is smiliar with my set but it had under mac tool name logo as i keep it in plastic box as i can carry it between home and my work if i need to...

if you want USA made tools then go to menards store and buy Allen tool as it had 30mm, 32mm, 36mm deep impact sockets... 36mm is about 20 dollars, 32 is about 18 dollars, 30 mm is about 16 dollars.. mostly i used a lot is 32mm and 36mm...

but few months later, i decided to bought allen tools as 30mm and 32mm deep impact sockets as cheaper than snap on but i bought 36mm MATCO impact deep socket from other tech who dont make any money and almost put it on ebay but i paid him cash (15 dollars for it) but it was retail list for like 50 dollars... he was used it a lot...
