TEKTON 1/2 Inch Drive x 26 mm Shallow 6-Point Socket | SHD22126

I bought a few Tekton chrome sockets to replace ones missing from my sets. I have a lot of Craftsman tools but the nearest Sears store is over 50 miles from me and they don't stock much anymore. Lowes at this point only has sets of Craftsman tools not individual stuff. I have a couple of Tekton impact socket sets that I have had a while and no complaints so far with them. I just this week bought 2 chrome sockets, this one and another size. The other was a CR-V socket, this one does not say that. I don't know if the newer sockets are made with different alloys or what but CR-V has long been the higher quality standard for chrome sockets, Chrome Moly for impact. Maybe they sell both but I can't find the option for CR-V on amazon or Tekton's web site. Time will tell if these are as good as many say they are, I usually use impact sockets now for almost everything and as I said these were purchased to replace missing sockets. Craftsman sockets are not as good as they used to be, I manage to break them all the time and not with an impact wrench. Hopefully Tekton will serve as well as the older Craftsman tools.

Haven't used it and hopefully I dont need to. Got it for my Toyota Tacoma to use with a Harbor Freight breaker bar for tire changes if necessary. Of you've ever used the provided tire iron you know they suck. Not helped by the fact that most places use an impact, and over torque your lug nuts making it extremely difficult to remove them with the tire iron.

Bought this socket for one purpose only, tighten and torque down tow balls to my tow bars. It's very well made with excellent machining and finish. It has no problems torquing up to 250 ft-lbs.

The lug wrench that comes with most cars/trucks leaves a lot to be desired. With this 22mm socket and a breaker bar I'm all set should I get a flat on the road on my new Tundra. It fits nicely over the lug nut, not too snug, and doesn't require the removal of the wheel ornament (or what used to be called a hub cap). I wouldn't use it with a pneumatic gun since it wasn't designed for that but it works fine with a breaker bar.

Needed high torque to break the anode rod seal to release the rod. I ended up using this for a secure attachment to the anode head. The 12 point can move or jump at the high torque setting so the 6 point is better. This width is 1.2 inches. The Clearance on the anode rod collar on the GCr-40 worked perfectly with this socket. Recommend for that use!

Instead of the cheap wrench they give you to change a tire, I carry a 2 foot long, 1/2" breaker bar in case I need to change a tire. Bought a new vehicle with 3/4" lug nuts, so I bought this to throw iun the tool box in my truck..... Cheap insurance.

This socket snapped while using and caused my hand to slam into metal and cut me open. Socket broke with me using a breaker bar. Really mad and wish I could have my money back. I'll send you back the broken socket.

This socket had one purpose and it served that purpose well. Not sure if I'll need to use it again, but if you're looking for a pitman arm nut socket for a 98 jeep wrangler, this one works well.

Good

Simply do the job at low cost.
