Product Description
Product Description
Built for use with impact tools, the TEKTON 4-pc. 1/2 in. Drive Impact Flip Socket Set includes the six most common sizes for lug nuts. The six-point design offers a snug fit and sure contact with the broad, flat sides of a lug nut, not just the corners, preserving its geometry and preventing round-off. Thinner walls give sockets the clearance to slide into tight recessed wells where many other impact sockets can't go. Made of forged and hardened chrome molybdenum steel, each socket has a durable black electroplated finish. Color coding allows for quick size identification.
Set Includes:
(3) 1/2-inch drive 6-point impact flip sockets:
- 17 mm by 19 mm (red)
- 13/16 in. by 3/4 in. (blue)
- 21 mm by 7/8 in. (yellow)
(1) 3-inch by 1/2-inch drive extension bar
(1) Storage case
From the Manufacturer
Covering 6 of the most common lugnut sizes, the TEKTON 4-Piece 1/2" Drive Impact Flip socket set features professional-grade quality.

1 Order arrived quickly, no issues and the price was very reasonable.
2 I have used these on about 15 different cars and numerous trailers with my impact gun
I have used breaker bars with long pipes to break the wheel nuts loose, and I did not break socket.
They fit snug with no slop on the bolts, well labeled, tough case
The size assortment is perfect for most of the cars out there
After continuous usage for over 9 months, I have not had one issue with them
I can not find any cons, on pros. These have held up great with above average usage, and not one complaint. Considering the cost, I highly recommend them.
I was a little put-off by the system of attaching an extender to your tool of choice, then attaching the socket itself to the extender, since there seemed to be more points of failure than necessary; however this doesn't seem to be an issue, and after about 6 months, they're holding up great.
Due to the nature of the system, the sockets aren't any deeper than they need to be for standard sized lugs, so if they're a bit longer than most, you might run into some trouble (i.e. aftermarket). For standard jobs, though, these are more than adequate. would definitely buy again, but likely won't need to.
Now you still need a breaker bar or torque wrench to use this in your car, truck or tractor. But storing something linear and something compact is so much easier than a great big four way.
Modern lug wrenches are getting about as useless as can be. They come in pieces for compact size, and more often than not do not have the leverage to break lug nuts that have been been put on with a lug wrench. I have carried a 4 way in my truck for years, but they do not fit in the under rear seat storage compartment. While I don’t look forward to changing tires, I do look forward to getting rid of some clutter in my truck. If you are on a budget, my guess is that with any 1/2” socket wrench and a piece of steel pipe to use as a cheater bar, all you would need are these sockets.

I use these with my Tekton 1/2" drive torque wrench for the lug bolts on my car. The flip over sizes help keep this set compact for convenient storage and transport.
I have found these to be deep enough and thin walled enough to work with my stock and aftermarket aluminum wheels.
I don't use these with an impact wrench because I don't want to mar the finish on my expensive stock lug bolts.
The colorful labels on these sockets are just that, labels. So you have to be relatively gentle with them in that area.
The short extension is included in this set as the photo is shows.
I bought the Tekton #4791 1/2 inch drive impact extension set to use with these but haven't needed it yet so far. You must be aware of where the far end of the wrench is going to rotate to avoid hitting and scratching any fender paint when changing your tires.
Top reviews from other countries
I bought these primarily to do tire changes.
This is a pretty slick design (sockets are double sided. The overall length once placed on the adapter also mean that the combined length (socket and adapter) allows your socket wrench handle to clear the body panels and fender of your car. With my regular sockets I had to use an extension...which actually made it too long.
The overall thickness of the sockets make it thick enough to really torque stuck lug bolts...and think enough to be able to use them on recessed bolt heads or nuts.
I have used them on3 separate vehicle tire changes...including one that required a large breeder bar to get the lugs off. No visible damage to the sockets, and it's unlikely I would ever have a situation to subject them to a higher level of mechanical stress.
The kit is nice and compact, and the number that indicate size are large and very easy to read (far better than a small number etched into metal on typical sockets.
It would have been nice if the numbers were etched and painted (at the same font size) no that the paint will not eventually come off due to scraping, or exposure to solvents...but at this price I would probably just replace this (if that's ever required)
Pros
-Good quality build
-Easy to read sizing numbers
-Long enough to allow socket handle to clear body panels/fender
-Thin enough wall to access recessed bolt heads
Cons
-Painted finish will eventually wear off
Recommendation – Would buy it again and would highly recommend.
