The case could be a better quality plastic for that I know, I know but man, if you saw the difference, you'd get the cost...they are VERY robust and have a very strong magnet. They make other nut setters feel like they're made of plastic. ...But low torque applications, Tektons easily fit the bill. In fact, I've been thinking of picking them up for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Makita makes a 1/4" drive impact set of 9 sockets for relatively cheap,ill see if I can find. Otherwise I have craftsman ones.

Stercorarius Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Those Weras do look nice. So do the Tektons. I'm looking to use them for hose clamps, large self tappers and little fasteners on electrical access panels. Sockets are usually too big for hose clamps. I do like my DeWalt magnetic ones that I use for all of my tin screws, they just don't offer that big of a range. I may have to grab that Tekton set with my next Amazon purchase.

I honestly love Milwaukee's power tools but I'm completely turned off their hand tools and bits. The Weras are ridiculously nice but I don't totally understand why they're soo beefy. I bet I could torque my 1/4"(nut size) bit to 150 ft lbs and it won't break. WHO NEEDS THAT? ...but I like it! haha. They are a little shallower than most, as in the nut can't go as deep into the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot, $60. http://www.kctoolco.com/wera-869-4-m-set-sb-magnetic-nutsetter-set-8-piece-p/wr073495.htm You can sorta see how robust they are in the Vine. Found a cheaper option $45: http://www.alliedelec.com/wera-05073495001-869-4-m/R1003284/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 @Stercorarius you figure out which brand to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figureitout Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 If you haven't found something yet, I think these are what you're looking for: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VHXD8I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1460611713&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=B000VHXD8I There's two of each size, one magnetic and one hollow shaft. I have them in metric and they are beautifully made, comparable to if not better quality than my Wiha set. This is also the most complete set I've seen and the case is very nice.
