Tekton sockets impact are very thin

[ng8264723]

So I have 1/2 impacts deep and shallow as well as metric deep and shallow. I have 3/8 impact deep and shallow SAE. I need a shallow 3/8 metric but I wanted 12 point. I am tired of struggling with the 11 mm 12 point bolts used on driveshafts. They are such a *****. I wanted a 3/8 drive impact and I would use an adapter to go to my mac 1/2 impact gun. The tektons were cheap so I figured why not. They are very thin walled though. they look fragile?

I have a set of metric deeps for about a year and they've held up well. I use them about 3-4 times a month on miscellaneous projects and haven't had an issue yet.

You won't have any issues. This place is loaded with guys that use Tekton impacts.

i have no experience with their 12pt impacts but i will say this... if you manage to break one tekton has a very easy warranty process

Here are a couple of online reviews if you care to watch:

Sunex has a 12pt 11mm flexhead socket just for driveshafts.

It is 1/2" drive and has a short extension built right in. Works well.

They have sets in metric and sae, but I just bought the 11mm one.
