Matco 1/4" Sockets

[wacomme]

How good are the 1/4" sockets (http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/SAM146TB/1-4-IN-DR-14-PC-6PT-SKT-SET/)? I can buy them with my student/teacher discount for $80. Are they worth the price, or can an equal quality set be bought for equal or less money?

Link doesnt work. P/N?

FWIW, they are probably pretty good. I have Matco sockets in 3/8 and 1/2

Matco makes a fine set of sockets. Wish I had q dealer so I could by some of their stuff.

I will never discourage somebody from buying good tools. Matco has good sockets and the 1/4" is no different. I used craftsman for 1/4" for years simply because 1/4" sockets are the ones that like to disappear the most and I didn't what to loose good, expensive tools. That said over the years my 1/4" has upgrade to SK and Cornwell and I havn't lost one of those, yet.

Koken makes a great set, for less than half that price.

I've used a set of 1/4'' matco's before and they are really good sockets.
