Customer Reviews for Husky 1/2 in. Drive Deep SAE Socket Set (11-Piece)

Deep sockets are used when the length of the bolt means the nut will need to go further into the socket. The larger Husky 12-pt sockets feature a lip just less than an inch from the opening that limits that ability. Pictured is a 22 mm Husky socket with such a lip. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not catching this sooner and damaged the oil cooler stud on my Nissan Xterra and it will no longer accept the oil filter. Thankfully, it's a $30 fix for a DIYer.

I have several impact sockets but they were too thick and could not reach the lug nuts. I used the 21mm socket and I was able to remove the lug nuts. I do not know how long they will last with me using my impact wrench, but at least it survived this time

Quality product at a reasonable price.

As I am 65+ years old, you can understand my reluctance to embrace Metrics !! This "HUSKY" Metric socket set fills my bill of filling my tool box. Their finish gives them the feel of a much more expencive tool. The imprinted sizes stamped on them is large so it's easy to see. Another plus is, that they came with their own socket rack! The only con I can find is they are made in China, but seem to be of great quality, fit and value !!

This Husky set is pretty decent however it is probably best for around the house and lite commercial work. The socket construction is fair. The 1/2" driver end is constructed with heavy material to handle high torque work however, the socket end is 12 point but the socket will only take a nut/bolt about 1/3 of the socket depth - meaning that the 12 point socket wall does not go as deep as the socket drive. The socket would ride higher on tall nuts/bolts such as on manifold clamps. A stud or thread-all rod can go into the depth of the socket well, just won't swallow high profile nuts or bolts. There are not of applications where this is a problem. I can only think that Husky did this to ensure high strength socket wall since 12 point wall can take away socket wall material. However, competitors have been making 12 point sockets this way for years. The socket sizing information is clear and well stamped on the socket sidewall. The rail the sockets come mounted on the in the package is more to keep them from rolling around in the package. I don't find it rugged enough to keep the sockets on in my toolbox. Over all it's a good set to have for around the house. I use to help take lug nuts off our vehicles (using my 1/2" breaker bar).

I have the regular depth 1/2 drive sockets and now adding the deep sets to my toolbox. I like these really well. The socket size is engraved on each socket in large print, which is nice for me because I don't have to reach for my glasses each time. The finish is bright and also tough and I believe it will hold up for many years. Husky makes some good tools but I don't think their reputation has caught up with high quality of their products.

This Husky 11-piece 1/2" drive deep socket set is forged from polished chromium-vanadium alloy steel and is very heavy duty. It weighs over 4lbs. Included in the set is a handy storage rail to keep your sockets organized in your toolbox or on your bench top. Though it comes in standard and metric, this set is SAE sizes: 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1 in. and they are stamped with large, easy to read numbers.

More and more Husky tools are becoming a major part of my tool box as they replace another major brand that I used for decades. These sockets remind me of the heavy tools of days gone by before thin walled tools became the norm. It appears they will stand up to most any general mechanic work without easily rusting. Have a good grip and cleans up easily. These are heavy sockets for major work.

This is an SAE deep-wall socket set. The sockets are 6 point ones, pretty much medium duty by the looks of them. The detent in the wrench end is adequate to hold it onto the wrench without falling off. The rack supplied is just plastic but does hold the sockets securely so that they will not fall off this either. The head ends are the correct dimension to fit easily onto the nut or bolt without allowing too much slack. I would not try to use these with an impact wrench, not that these are meant for such, but some sockets are made thicker and can be used as such. These are not.

Have yet to put these to the test with extensive use, used only the 8mm, but they look and feel solid. Fit on the socket is good and solid, no real slack to worry about.

Perfect set for working on our muscle car. Anytime you have tight areas to get to. Like the material they are made of. Easy to use.

These socket work well for what my needs were. Very durable.
