Expand the swivel ball extention set. 8-17 just doesn't cut it. Need a 18mm, 19mm

Biggest thing I have with snap on impact rust so easy on me and other brands don't. Is their way can stop it. My Pittsburgh sockets are older and haven't rusted. Other than issue I love snap on sockets

My dealers advice is to buy individual sockets as needed due to the cost of a complete set, I have a 1/2 drive deep well Carlyle 10- 19 mm and have only used the 13, 15, & 18 the rest have never been on an impact, 10 to 14 mm would have been more practical in 3/8 drive for me, thankfully I bought the set used for $100, my previous snap on dealer gave me a deal on a 1 &3/16 impact wobble for a $50 dollar bill, and without a doubt the I would prefer the snap on over the Carlyle which I want to say are actually Sunex.

what kind of steel used for impact socket?

[georgef]

Any tech will notice when you stick chrome sockets direct to the impact the square drive takes a beating no matter the brand. Impact sockets do truly hold up better on impacts.

A ductile material is one that can be drawn into wire. The properties you were describing were malleability not ductility. I would have thought a tool manufacturer would at least understand the basic properties of metals.

So why are chrome wrenches used on the other end of the fastener? No impact rated wrenches?

I like snap on's quality but they have priced me out. I simply can't spend what they are asking.

[randywatson]
