air hammer sockets?

[buck91]

Not sure what they are called, bolt breakers or air hammer socket adapters... Looks like the 'zon has plethora of cheap imports. Can anybody recommend one that will hold up to a DIY'er? Don't want to break the bank but not worth buying a cheap tool that won't hold up either.

I have older Klutch impact sockets sold by northern tool.

Are you talking about these?

No, these.

A bunch on the Zon for $15'ish wondering if its worth spending 40 at HF

Made in USA, I would say they are decent quality. You get what you pay for.

They've started to step it up. Harbor Freight knew they couldn't sell bottom of the barrel tools for too long. If you warranty a majority of your sales you aren't making much.

Might just be that the company is based in USA. The part could be made elsewhere?

this was my assumption. No mention in the description of MITUSA and thats usually a hot selling point

IIRC they are made by Mayhew, HF sells a few products made by them in the USA.

Some of their air hammer attachments are. I’ve been pleased with them.

No, these.

Well the real question is what the Amazon $15 specials are actually made of and for.

They could be trash, or from a reputable company like capri or Astro.

But given likely quality and warranty, I’d buy the hf parts personally…

I bought the Mayhews a couple years ago after seeing Eric O use them. I haven't had much need given my locale, but appreciate knowing it's an option
