Swivel Socket Set

cchrishefish · Mar 26, 2020

I am looking to buy a 6 point sae swivel socket set in the 1/4 inch drive variety. Which is a good set without breaking the bank? I intend on using these for my upcoming slant 6 intake and exhaust replacement. There are a lot of brands out there that I have never heard of. i usually buy Craftsman and Kobalt. But, this set is hard to find.

You don't use 1/4" drive to do engine work.

I understand, that but I did see some members whom had a hard time getting the bottom bolts off the slant 6 intake and someone recommended that size.

Thank you, I did not expect not being able to find one of these sets by Craftsman or Kobalt. I will only use this size on the lower intake and exhaust nuts.

I use 1/4" all the time, with the exception of the head and main bolts. It is really all you need with a cordless 1/4" impact.

I have a gear wrench one and it’s nice

Just make sure you get a set with warranty. The universal sockets will break and you will need replacements.
