Which sockets? - rocker8742 - 29-06-2014
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.

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
Re: Which sockets? - rocker8742 - 30-06-2014
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.view&id=201103357495
Tbh i imagine impact sockets will be fairly similar across the board

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
