Neiko 01144A Tamper-Proof Hex Bit Socket Set, 26 Pieces | SAE (5/64-9/16”) and Metric (2-14MM)

I've obtained a motley variety of hex bit sockets over the years, usually on a per-need basis: a differential plug here, a coolant plug there, a suspension fitting here. I wanted a set for uniformity and completion, but since these are so rarely needed by a DIY mechanic, and since I had the ones I really needed already, I didn't want to spend much. I also detest cheaply made or finished tools, so for years I just made do, not being able to justify buying a "nice" set. But for $15, or even slightly more when not on special, this set is a total no-brainer.Few skips, just metric, nicely chromed sockets, straight inserted bits, and a very nice, compact case to tuck it all away until needed. It's mostly smaller and medium sizes. What's missing? There's no 11 mm or 13 mm (not that I have ever needed one), and it stops at 14 mm. I have needed a 17 mm before, which is outside the range of this kit. But since I already have one, no complaints. Amazing quality for the price. Compared to the Pittsburgh set I looked at in person these are much, much nicer in finish quality, include 13 rather than 9 sockets, and includes a case. For the same price! (The only advantage perhaps is that the HF Pittsburgh set does include a 17 mm).

They look to be made of good quality material. I haven’t use them yet but with all the different sizes it should fit anything you need to use it for.

Great quality tools at a great price. Well worth the money. I have several tools from NEIKO and very happy with all of them.

I had originally purchased this set a couple of years ago, specifically to use on a handful of tamper-proof fasteners that I run into. They work fine, nothing special.The reason I am writing this is because of a recent project I completed. I was putting together a bunch of office chairs and needed a 5mm allen to drive the fasteners. The only 5mm I had handy was the one from this set. As is typical of office furniture assembly, the fitment of the pieces was not great. I originally tried using my screw gun, but it was not powerful enough. I put this socket on my 20V Dewalt Atomic Impact Driver and it managed to force those fasteners to thread up and tighten down (giving them the full beans...). I stripped out a couple of the bolt heads and probably cross-threaded more than a few, but the socket held up like a champion. This was not a proper use of the tool, but just my personal experience.

Fit is good, durability is good, set is full and doesn't skip sizes which is a plus for a mechanic like me who works on every make and model under the sun. Case is sturdy. Only gripe I have with neiko is that without something like foam in between sockets and case they will move and become disorganized

These are not tool truck quality and will not hold up to the very high torque loads. Bought for my home box and they work fine. Would be a great set for 90 percent of people. If I was starting out as a mechanic I’d definitely buy these and just replace the broken ones with something off the truck

Great strong set of hex sockets

They seem very good quality, work great and the price was awesome.

Ferramenta incrível , estou encantado com sua beleza, cuidado no armazenamento e robustez !As três medidas de quadra são essenciais …Parabéns a NEIKO

He comprado algunas herramientas de esta marca y no me ha decepcionado

El acabado y el funcionamiento es muy bueno, vale la pena invertir en este set si se reparan bicicletas de manera amateur y hasta profesional.

Produto de ótima qualidade, recomendo!!!

So glad I bought this kit! Comes with all sizes you will ever need in your garage.I have used and purchased a handful of Neiko tools and they always impress me with the quality.Alot of different hex allen kits i've seen have a skinnier shank where the hex goes into the socket which acts as a weakpoint and have seem some fail. These hex bits do not have a skinner shank but remain consistent all the way through. Used these for some stubborn bolts that broke lose very easily with a breaker bar, tried allen keys before and could not budge one of them even with alot of heat, penetrating fluid and rubber mallet.
