Ordered some magnetic adaptors and they are very nice quality. A couple things I noticed:
1) They are close to the same size that Snap-on sells. The look to be 3/16 longer but the magnetic part measures out the same as Snap-ons specs (9/32).
2) They do not fit my universal spline SK sockets very well. The magnet barely gets into the broached area.
3) They fit my Snap-on sockets much better.
4) They will not do any good on a bolt/cap screw that is flanged (has the built in washer) because the flange will not allow it to go deep enough in the socket to contact the magnet.
In summary, I would be concerned if you were going to use these with SK, Craftsman or any socket that is longer than a Snap on ( I presume the Toptul sockets are probably close to the same length as Snap on's?).
Also, due to not working with flanged bolts/screws they are limited in their automotive uses. It seems that many fasteners on cars are flanged.
Glad I picked these up from Mike. For the price they sell for they are a deal but after finding out their limitations I'm very happy I didn't spend the $$ for the Snap-ons.
Also picked up some metric stud pullers and once I get a chance to use them I will post a review.
