Low Profile Impact Sockets

15pc 1/2" Drive Nano Impact Sockets - Metric | Astro Pneumatic Tools

I was in the market for a single, standard-length 1/2" drive 24mm impact socket....until I found these. The price is more than reasonable and the external hex feature is an added bonus. I think they will be a great match for my 1828v2 in tight spots.

Does anyone own a set?

I have the Husky set which are very similar. They have held up well, and the low profile is great.

Bought the set from HD because they were a little cheaper.

I have them, they come in handy. from time to time. They're hard to beat for the price. If you have a problem Astro Tool company is very active on the Garage Journal and takes care of it right away.

Nice sets.

I have a bunch of DIY cut short sockets.

I've got that exact set. Useful on my Nano impact wrench or M12 stubby.

Got the 3/8" drive version https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/new-tool-thread.328515/post-6316527 to make the most advantage of my Nano impact wrench in tight spaces.

I ordered a set. For $49, it was tough to beat.

gotta have the tools that WORK, nice find + buying just one is $$$ compared to a set!!

Bought a set. Appreciate the recommendation

I know it's too late now, but "Eric O" from South Main Auto on YT has a bunch of those sockets from Astro on his Amazon "list". That list is typically tools he uses and links to for viewers who want some of the same ones (he gets a commission from Amazon too).

I just bought that set but have not used it yet. They seem well made.

Also ordered the 3/8’s. They are an excellent buy for $45 shipped.
