Show off your Grey Pneumatic!

[Matt018]

Well everyone and there mom has threads similar to this so let me see your Grey Pneumatic sockets! I love this brand and bought full sets of 1/4 and 3/8 drive, 1/2 is on the list to buy next. As you can see i have the 1/4 set in the original box and i put the 3/8 sets on Snap On rails, Which i love!

I will try and get some pics of mine if I remember at work tomorrow. I have full sets of 3/8 and 1/2" drive, metric and standard, shallow and deep impacts.

Can you please post a picture of the inside hex of the 1/4" drive sockets? They say the 1/4" drive sockets are "surface drive" and none of the others are listed as such. Can you see a difference in them vs. the 3/8" drive sockets? I am wanting to pic up the 1/4" sets but I am nervous about the surface drive feature.

 

[Matt018]

Sure thing, Ill post up some side by side pics soon

 

[Matt018]

Sorry for the ****** quality put they get the point across
They are both 10mm deeps

1/4 drive 10mm

3/8 drive 10mm

Side by side, 1/4 on the left 3/8 on the right

Side by side comparison for size reference

I just received a 10 pc set of their impact chisel bits ... very nice quality. I also have their 3/8" impact sockets.

Thanks for the pics! How do you feel about the surface drive on the 1/4" sockets? Can you even tell a difference when using them?

I dont notice any difference between the two sets, They work like decent sockets should, Id definitely buy them again!

Haha, to be fair, the GP's are almost brand new and the Cmans are several years old and not oiled near as often as they should be.

I will get some pics of mine tomorrow. I have the 71 piece 1/4" master set, 3/8" standard deep and shallow 12 pt and deep and shallow 6pt swivel set. 3/8" metric deep and shallow 12pt. 1/2" shallow metric and standard swivel set. 1/2" metric allen set.

They have been good sockets. They are my back up sets so they dont get used alot. I would not recommend the 12pt versions as the teeth wear out quick. I really want a set of the 3/8" master duo socket set for the house.

Those chisels are ****! i have a 4pc craftsman set and i think i need to pick that set up pronto! god my wishlist keeps growing.

The bits are nice, unfortunately the tray is cheesy. It's the only tray I intend to keep out of all the tools I have that came with molded plastic cases, which have all been discarded.

Nice collection! i like the earnst rails too! Im digging the wood top on the box, are you a pro with tools in that nice of condition?

 

[tomciob]

I do not use them every day. Most of this stuff is less than a year old. I am an engineer that does some mechanical work in an industrial environment. We have to supply our own tools at this place. I figured I can finally step up since it'll be a tax write off (hopefully).

Edit: I'm also am a maintenance freak. Others call it ocd.

I have some 3/8 deep sockets. Still keep them in the blue blow molded case.

Nice pics!!!

I kept mine in the original blue case for a while, But eventually started to want to take whole sets to where i was working and also the 3/8 case was pretty big. Look at my thread 17 year olds set of tools, to see my socket drawer before i bought the 1/4 drive set.

Yepp i figured it didnt look like a pros box but was still professional tools.. Youll love those sockets when you start using em heavy.
