Which sockets?

[rocker8742]

Right, looking to get some bigger sockets as a set ideally but not sure what sizes to get.


I've got everything ill need up to 19mm in 3/8" so I'm looking for something that is 19mm upwards really and 1/2"

Any odd sizes that pugs use to look out for?

Know the halfords kits are good value but didnt really want to get a big kit with spanners and other bits aswell

I got Bergen 1/2" impact set that I have had for years and they get abuses and just keep going. About £30/40 a set I think. I really rate them.

I think begen and us pro stuff is all pretty decent for the money imo

17/18/19/21/22/24/27/30/32/35 all very useful as half inch
Get a breaker bar too

Ive got a 1/2" impact Mac set, that goes from 10mm-25mm without missing any, was sub £100 from what I remember

If your not buying too big a set buy impact ones as if you ever get a gun then you wont have to buy new sockets.

HaLFORDS advanced, nice sockets.. i got a set years agoi.. goes right up to 26mm,

Depends on the uses, impact sockets are inherently thinker and can be hard to get in/over certain things. It's handy to have both, although I always whack non impact sockets on a gun anyway .

I'd recommend getting shallow and deep, as it's handy to have both.

Been looking at the Bergen stuff and it seems pretty good quality

Was hoping maybe to find a set with deep and shallow but if not will probably get a set of each

[rocker8742]

Thinking of getting these they seem to be a good price and a reasonable range

Anyone else got them? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vie...1103357495

Tbh i imagine impact sockets will be fairly similar across the board

[Frosty]

Yeah they would be fine. Similar to the Bergen 1s

I bought some sockets from Euro Car Parts a while ago, which were good value. 10-32mm, 20 piece set. Here's the link if they are of any use to you:

Just realised they've gone up hugely in price, were roughly £18

I find these ones are quite good heavy duty and hard wearing
