Pittsburgh Pro 1/4" 6pt Deeps

[VH5150]

Anyone annoyed with how a lot of bargain brands skip sizes on sockets sets? As far as 1/4" deep 6 point sockets go, Pittsburgh Pro has metric 5mm-14mm sets with no skips, and no skips on the 1/4" deep 6 point standards also (1/8" - 9/16").
I'm just a weekend warrior wrencher here and I've used them for over a year on all of my stuff around the house and on routine maintenance stuff on both of my vehicles. No problems whatsoever. The finish is nice and they are inexpensive. Only more time will tell, but so far I like them. All of my heavier 1/2" stuff is USA SK, Craftsman, Proto, Wright, and Blackhawk, but I think I'll stick with these Pittsburghs for my deep 1/4". Just my 2 cents.

You get what you pay for honestly, I saw a cheap wrench set, missing 15mm-16mm-18mm and 21mm. Chances are i wont need them since i usually work on asian stuff right?

Wrong, Came across a 18mm on a nissan xtrail lower balljoint pinch bolt.

They aren't a bad deal. I have the rainbow colored ones but they do skip the 5.5mm. I don't see many Fords so it's not a big issue though.

Very true. I just figured I'd give these a shot since I don't know what I'd be working on in the 1/4" range that would require the amount of torque required to break anything. I suppose the other questions about these could be fit sidewall clearance. We'll see.

The HF 1/4" deep sockets will likely serve you well. While they are imports they will likely serve you well as 1/4" drive rarely gets torqued on to any great extent.

I have the H.F. 1/4" deeps in my mobile set and like them. I picked up a 5.5 mm deep at Lowes to complete the set.

I use their colored 1/4" deep sockets every day. The 7/16" in particular, with the composite ratchets.. for years.. never had either one break out of several sets and several people using them.
