We've HAMMERED on the impact sockets, and had better luck with them than any other sockets I've used. I know of a couple of Honda technician friends of mine who prefer the HF impact sockets over all their other high-zoot sockets, and normally they are tool snobs.
Never had one brake, and the sizes we use most are shiny and silver-black instead of the matte they were when used.
I have both the assorted metric/standard set of shallow sockets, but really the ones I like are the deep socket metric ones.
I bought a second set of deep metric sockets a few months ago and they are holding up well.
I'd love to get that jack. I've been wondering how hard it would be do do jack modifications, replacing some parts like wheels, the sides, etc. with either lighter materials. We don't need to lift a Mack truck, but we do want the height of the heavy duty units. Seems like some of the parts would be pretty easy to fab up, just use the stock hydraulics. Anyone done this? Perhaps even removing material from the sides, etc?
