Anyone got a set of these impacts?

Rhombus inner arc design apparently.

I'm certainly tempted. They'll go well with my Parkside impact wrench.

I've always used cheap sets and had no problems.
Cheap spanners can fail though.

if you are a professional then better quality is required as you don't want it to fail in the field when you get the breaker bar on it to crack it open with excessive force.

If that's what you may do buy better quality.
 
I've been using an un named brand from Screwfix for over 20 years now and never had an issue - they've had some serious grief too.
Any other sizes I need I get from Laser Tools.
I'd be interested to hear how you get on with your impact wrench.......I've got a quality Hitachi one, and occasionally I'm disappointed with it's undoing torque. In other words the tool doesn't want to know but a breaker bar has no problems. I wouldn't be without it though - so much more convenient than the air tool.

I’ve never had an impact socket of any make break on me. Mind you, looking at that set, you'd better turn the gun right down when using a 1/2” 8mm impact socket!
