XI-ON or Super Lock sockets

[DIYspanner]

Both seem a good idea.

Has anyone used XI-ON or Super Lock type?

I've not used them but those us pro ones look fantastic value to me. Well worth having a set in your armoury.

I got a set of US PRO Super-Lock myself but no chance to use them yet.

Just an observation, the 18 / 19 and 15 /16 are the same outside diameter with the inside machined to the required size which means the wall is thinner on the bigger size.

Aren't you looking at it the wrong way round? The wall is thicker on the smaller size.

That is - if they weren't the same OD, then the smaller size would have a smaller OD making the walls the same.

Six and two threes on that discussion. If the wall is thinner, it means less strength.

If the wall is thinner, it means less strength.

But they are the same as most of the others.

Two have walls thicker than the others.
