The cheap ones are like construction grade steel rather than the claimed cr-mo .

likely get 10% discount if add to basket and wait ...
Here's your eBay set few pence cheaper and accepting offers, try 14 pounds ! .
They generally awful broaching/machining and almost painted rather than phosphate coated and alloy steel used is garbage construction steel .
For ultra light duty you can take the gamble but buying twice and struggling with garbage doesn't work out money saved lol ...

Missed the part about it being for a hub nut... nevermind.

I buy the larger cheap impact sockets individually. Not an issue. Haven't tried a kitted set like posted above....maybe they're even lower grade.

I hope we're talking unit-bearings here.... because normal opposed taper-bearings aren't torqued down very hard, and the nuts sit in oil or grease.
