Turbo socket is rebrand by sk, blue point, mayhew, the list goes on.

The original is made in the usa.

If you like the set at your work so much, why not just buy those?

I work abroad and the set they have is for sure rebranded and tools are more expensive here than in the states. Figured I can get a better set for cheaper

I actually have that Maximum brand Canadian tire set in the image. Those are dirt cheap when on sale and work fairly well.

Irwin bolt grips...

They are cheap enough that you don't need to get some knock off inferior version. You won't be using them all the time.

they work great for removing wheel locks and do wear out once the spirals get mushed down

I believe the devil invented wheel locks ... You leave the key in the car, thief breaks into car to retrieve it, extra damage. Leave it at home, can't put the spare tire on when you get a flat... Wheels are over torqued or never taken off? key breaks... or if it gets lost, I have to spend a bunch of time breaking the them off (unpaid work for me), possibly causing cosmetic damage to the wheel.

These guys are the maker that are rebranded by everybody else. For years, Craftsman has been the most economical place to buy them. With their supply drying up, not sure where is best now.

Snap-on/blue point sells them, Irwin has a 5 piece set, Cornwell sells them, others do to. I'd search for damaged bolt/nut remover and see what comes up.

Luckily I was around for the Craftsman train. I'll miss all the good, US, Cman rebrands for less $$$ (hose pinch pliers come to mind)

Or the $100 12pc snap-ring plier set (made by Kastar) that Mac wants $470 for....https://www.mactools.ca/en-ca/NoValue/NoValue/PK1250/12-PC-Quarter-Turn-Retaining-Ring-Pliers-Set

I have a similar set from Astro Pneumatic, they work great. They are $57 on Amazon. I think I got mine on sale for under $30.

I keep finding individual ones at pawn shops in their bin tools. No big sizes, but I've got 4 of them for about 50 cents a piece over the past couple of months.
