There's two main differences between cheap sockets and good ones. The wall thickness and the depth of the hex.

Every nut or bolt I ever started in my 65 year old life was done with my FINGERTIPS! What kind of weirdo goes out of his way to get his threads CROSS-THREADED?????? If you hadn't have pointed out that cheap sockets are usually deeper than better sockets I'd have learned NOTHING here. You should have spent some time explaining why the cheaper is deeper.
"my FINGERTIPS". Nice warm shop ya got there eh. Clean too I bet. Looks hardly used...

I agree not everything needs to be done nascar style always start by hand especially fine threads will blow right through them
Actually... Cheap sockets are thinner because I don't like grinding my snapon sockets.
Use koken socket it better then snap on in my option and their thinner with better quality
@@yfn_trix3447 never heard of koken, to be honest I don't actually have any snap on sockets, mine are all mac, 20 years ago when I started buying the tools if my trade they seemed of good quality, and came in a nice metal tray so I could stick them in a traveling box when I got let out for the day.

@@TheLexiconDevils lol. Its not my joke, im just one those people who repeat it when its inappropriate. Lol.
I used to work as a commercial steel heat treater, and our biggest client was Snap-On. All of their materials were either 4140 or very rarely, they were 52100 (very similar to O-1, very high carbon content). The impact sockets typically have a Rockwell-C value of around 45 (+/-) 2 and the non-impact sockets would have a Rockwell-C value of 60 (+/-) 2. They were VERY particular about having us make sure that the hardness was tested 5 times, per layer, per basket. Very time consuming stuff, but makes it worth it, I suppose.
Thanks for your insider details, Alex!
@@arduinoversusevil2025 Anytime, brotha!
@Lumumba B. you are right, its pretty high, but they only went into a 400 degree temper. Pretty low heat. That's also the big reason you should never use a non impact socket for impact drivers. You run a pretty high risk of shattering them due to being brittle. We usually tried to keep them closer to 58 rather than 60 though.
Alex Gresham I was an engineering intern at Proto Tool in Portland many years ago. We used to buy SnapOn tools right out of the truck and cut them up to see how everything was done. One thing I remember is how consistent the heat treat was on SnapOn tools. I think Proto makes great tools, but the edge goes to SnapOn, at least back then. I don’t know how things stand today. I have heard that SnapOn quality isn’t what it used to be, but I have no proof of that.
Yeah even the tool truck would tell you that their steel hardness was the highest of any make

"Cheap sockets drive me nuts"... I mean, thats what they are made for right? If they couldn't drive a nut, I feel like it ain't a socket.
One thing I disagree with in CERTAIN circumstances is the socket depth. When you're in a tight spot with a long bolt, those deep sockets allow for the bolt to come out a whole lot further before it starts pushing whatever tool you're driving it with up against a bulkhead, often with a finger in the way.
But, but shallow socket?
@@arduinoversusevil2025 He gave u an excuse to "need" twice the sockets, go tell the wife, u need more tools!
@@arduinoversusevil2025 But then there's some little hole the bolt is down in as well and you need just that tiny bit of reach... I don't know how prevalent it is in the industry you're in, but I know being a mechanic I run in to it a shocking amount.
Exactly. If you want a deep socket than can push the bolt, a shallow one with extender maybe?
@@ladam836 That'll do some times, but leave it to the enginerds to come up with some convoluted madness that requires 3 different types of sockets and the same number of extensions in different sizes...
"If'n ya learn in close and careful real listenly..." That is a wonderful turn of phrase
Wait, they're not made to be cut to length?
Custom sockets are the best invention! Every good tool box should have several.
No, you're meant to glue the bolts together to make them longer.
@@Intermernet I’ve been packing cotton and gunpowder into mine to fit
On more than one occasion I've found myself needing the deep sockets in a tight spot to give the fastener room to back out without wedging whatever I'm using to drive them in the aforementioned tight spot.
That is true. Sometimes you have to switch to a shallow socket once you get it going.
Same. Also, when installing fasteners, I rarely find situations where I need a deep socket but cannot start it by hand. I generally work automotive and commercial mowers; maybe other fields get more use out of the ?shallower? deep sockets?
@@freakasis Also, you can "pack" the deeper socket with a nut, then set your short bolt in it to start it.
I have deep sockets to drive nuts on to long threaded concrete bolts and HV terminals with long theaded bolts. In short I use long sockets to drive NUTS on. Not bolts.
Robert D I was an industrial generator tech for some time and often defaulted to deep sockets simply because it offers more room for the hand around the ratchet. It doesn’t take much to save a knuckle so if I can buy myself some space by using a deeper socket it’s a win

The amount of 10 mm snap on sockets we crack at work is unbelievable. They never go on an impact. My old craftsman sockets used to get used on an impact with no problems. On a side note I did get to see first hand how snap on sockets were made about 15 yes ago. The cold forging process is incredible
Hardness makes them brittle. Hrc60 for chrome and 45 for impact
Snap-on tools are great but, I think they're overpriced. I've been repairing industrial machine tools for the last 45 years. Most of my tools are Craftsmen. Broke and bent a few early on and then learned how to use them. Been many years since I've had to return or replace one. I almost never use a socket to start a nut or screw and prefer deep broached sockets.
Nothing wrong with vintage 'Made in USA' Craftsman tools, they were the 'top of the line' tool lineup from Sears. Can probably count on one hand, the items that are 'Made in the USA' from Sears in 2022. Now, it's essentially Klein tools, Proto, SK, and Williams (Industrial brand, owned by Snap-On) that produce those affordable 'Made in USA' tools that Craftsman used to dominate the market with.
For those big deep sockets a piece of rubber hose jammed in will remedy the problem and still allow the pass through of the long thread when tightening and loosening of long bolts
Just what everyone wants to worry about, let me just jam a piece of rubber hose in every single one of my deep sockets. No. Buy quality tools and never look back.
Bonus hose let's you go in at a curve, which can be more pleasurable according to some.
@@clarkkent12880 I completely agree but we all have those shitty sockets and can't find the good one so we have to use the cheap, this is one way you'll be just a little less pissed off. We all have them might as well make them that much more usable.
@@baileysavage8697 I'm not saying it's ideal by any means. I know at one point in my life I couldn't afford to pay snap on prices. I still have my cheap tools and did all I could to improve them. Some have a little more time than money like I did. Taking 30 min of your day to to make your life a little better isn't the worst thing anybody's done!
@@baileysavage8697 Right because a little bit of hose saves you HUNDREDS of dollars, but ya just waste money instead
Enjoyed the Hydraulic Press Channel reference.
I'm 26 & been watching AVE for about 3-4 years seen every video he posted his knowledge and humor is always on point !
That old Snappy is a 9/32 drive, which was quite common through the wartime period, after which it gave way to the quarter drive. Plomb Tool Co produced a lot of 9/32 materiel on military contract for the war effort. As the 9/32 drive predates the shift to metric in the US, they aren't much use in a modern setting, but are relevant and period-correct in that old steel toolbox in the trunk of the hot rod.
I bought most of my Craftsman about 50 years ago and they still work just like new.
I buy tons of old Snap-on, Matco, Craftsman, Blackhawk etc at auctions. You can't beat the quality and durability of the older tools.
I’m 63 years old, my craftsman toolset were bought by my dad when I was 6 years old. They are still some of the best kit in my tool pan.
The chinesium Blackhawks aren't even that bad. At least not the ratcheting set I got, haven't sprung an open end in 5 years. SK in the other hand.....
The 7mm wrench is actually used to open the oil drain plug on many french cars. Its also sa same size as the square drive on a door handle here in europe.
a 7mm drain plug? And I thought the 10mm's General Motors puts on their cars were an accident waiting to happen...

Tap sockets exist!!!! Glad I watched this video. The deeper socket has come in handy for me at least once, I welded it to a steering shaft and machined a hex on another section to make a slip joint, worked great.
It is my understanding that the odd size Snap On tools are military issue. It was made "off size" to deter theft. An ordinary dealer cannot warranty those tools. If a civilian has them they are thought to be stolen. Love your channel.
"...two different countries..." - you just black listed my man! Good on ya!
For the cost I'll spend 12 minuts on a bench grinder to remove the last 1/4 inch of the socke set if it bothered me that bad
If you do it every day you will see why mechanics buy snap on
@@keeganharrisom1389 I do it every day in industrial maintenence and I dont understand lol. I have mostly tekton and channellock, with some husky and HF thrown in. It does fine. I'd rather save money on tools that work just fine, and spend that saved money on stuff I can enjoy outside of work. The only thing I spent real money on was a snap on krl box, because I needed the casters and slides to hold up rolling the thing around all day as much as I do. Cheap tools are getting so good these days.
Been using the tap sockets for probably close to 20 years now. great addition to the tool box.
The tap sockets. Wow. Nice set. Your the first man that showed me a tool i have never seen before... Dont tell my wife.
Good use for the cheap Torx/Allen sockets is to drive the end out and turn them with a regular wrench or weld them to a piece of flat bar to make your own wrench for use in tight spots. Might use that trick a few times in a lifetime, but it's a good one to know.
dont knock the cheap harbor freight sockets I use them daily in big impacts never had an issue
I agree 100% I recomend them all the time.
Hard to find a bad impact socket, being softer than chrome so they don't shatter and all.
Hell yeah even if they broke everytime you used em they still have life time warranty so it's a win
Man I love them tap sockets, they’re a life saver at work and at the farm. Don’t know how I survived without them.

I had the same problem with an old 1/4” snap on ratchet, good thing is you can buy a rebuild kit for it to turn it back into an actual 1/4”. Use mine everyday. Cheers and love the videos.
Dude you got me laughing out loud with the “strap-on”. Thanks. 👍 I enjoy your videos thanks for taking the time.
The ones you missed that are also super useful are the through sockets. Special wrench goes around the outside of the socket, so you can screw nuts onto all-thread or similar long rods. VASTLY nicer than trying to just use a normal wrench.
A deep socket should be deep....and short sockets take care of everything else. If ya need to go super deep I use my hollow sockets. I have every type of socket. Even the special stuff. Same for my wrenches too. All Craftsman USA stamped. They've been though everything for decades. Never broken or cracked any of them. Couldn't be happier. I use Snap On at work in the aerospace industry and I hate Snap On tools. The very few Proto tools we have are way better than the Snap On shit.
I have the snap on set in the end. It’s special drive can be swapped out for a 1/4 inch rebuild kit. Mine is from 1944, and I use it at work all the time. It’s a neat tool to keep around!
I love what you done to the English language!
I turned my phone to get the glare off of your calipers.
if ur wife/girlfriend asks is it in yet, say I don't know
My response - Is it in yet? Hell I finished 10 minutes ago. Hey since you WOKE me up (get it, WOKE - wink wink nod, nod) could you make me a sandwich.
@Qtri nity true but they age badly and don't stay tight on the nut and once u have snapped your bolt off you want another one soon after
I reply “it WAS!”
I bought one of those "7mm drive" ratchets at a garage sale. One day I got tired of looking at it so I took the drive part out, clamped it in a vise, and carefully filed the 3 faces that didn't have the ball retainer until I got it to fit properly in my 1/4" drive sockets. Now I can use it.
Well done, you are now a star on " Mining Boom ", " Tappy tap tap " !!
Sometimes I want a deep-broached socket, sometimes I want a shallow-broached socket. I've had some circumstances where one or the other didn't work out so well.
sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't
TWX1138 -. Yes, I agree completely!!!!
Which is also why it's nice to have at least three sets of drive sizes.
a light spring and a washer in the base of a deep socket best of both worlds
Eh, maybe. Maybe I don't get stuck with enough crappy bolts, but I generally start bolts by hand; it's just as easy to use a deep cut socket vs a shallow cut socket for me. Get a Rockwell tester and check the hardness. A manual one can be had new from eBay for $1000 US, or an electronic one for less. Let's quanatatively see the difference! I think sockets are far right on the curve of diminishing returns. Even the cheap shit is 95% as good as the best stuff imo. If you're going to spend the cash, might as well buy something where doubling or quadrupling the price actually buys you noticable improvement.
I've found myself shopping for Wright sockets to have a deeper broach but still have a quality socket. Even 12 points sometimes. They all have their place. Like pulling a oil sensor with a deep broached socket instead of a special Snap-on socket.
Damn. I’ll never look at this stuff the same again. Learned quite a bit. Regards, Marky
Dude! Two points: 1- The deep socket allows you to drive a nut on a longer thread than a shallow socket would. 2- The difference in socket thickness has to do with the alloy used among other factors, Chrome Molybdenum vs Chrome Vanadium, Cr-Mo is made "thicker" usually than Cr-V, and it is better as an impact socket
i wish 6 sided wrenches were more common in hardware stores. who hasnt had to get in a tight spot and rounded off a rusty nut because the 12 sided slipped?
I could not agree more. I hate, I mean hate 12 point tools. I admit they have there place, like on a 12 point nut or bolt, but why can't you find a set of 6 point box end wrench any more.
Some time ago I did find a six point ratchet wrench, then I found out they were "flare nut wrenches", interesting design and good idea kinda, but it would bind up all the time if you had to reef on it some. Also broke pretty quick. Anyway, six sided ratchet wrenches would be nice to have.
@@dadillen5902 it has to do with angle of swing you're rarely going to have 60 degrees of room to swing that wrench. What I would love is a quality set of ratcheting 6 point wrenches
Buy better wrenches. 6 sided box end is a gimmick.
@@BMfins you run 12 point sockets too?
I worked on imports for a couple years and i needed every little bit of clearance i could get. Snap on was pretty essential for that.
My tinkering life was really started in my teens learning musical instrument repair. We were a small shop & often needed outside help with some of the oddball jobs or things we didn't have the tools/knowledge for. Most of the guys that we went to (I imagine) probably spent too much time by themselves tinkering around with whatever it was that they specialized in & all were interesting unique people. Watching this channel reminds me of visiting those shops. I can't say I am always very interested when I click but by the end I'm completely sucked in & often picked up something I didn't know.
So if I glue a nut in the bottom of my cheap sockets, I fixed your main complaint about them?
If it's an fractional socket, go find a metric bolt whose tooling dimensions are slightly too big. If metric, find a fractional. You many want to drill and tap the hole on the nut bigger than it currently is though, so that it doesn't bind up on any threaded rods or bolts.
@@TWX1138 I love man tips
But where are you gonna get a nut at this hour
@@gbarnewall1 - There are dozens of us with nothing better to do than watch Ave videos at all times of the day and night. We're available.
TWX1138 or a rubber washer as a spacer...
Ive had problems with snap on deep sockets on low profile nuts that we use in helicopters all the time. The relief hole for the bolt to go through on the socket is too small so you need those deep cut sockets.
I’ve had issues with pitting
This is why I keep a selection of old Craftsman deep walls.
Yes and on cars you need them to remove sensors etc (like say a coolant sensor on many models)...where a snap on socket will not work but the craftsman does
That's why you go Ko-Ken.
AVE is basically saying everything that is true about deep sockets: but in reverse.
Three weeks into NNN and you have the nerve to show me this nut buster.
I’ve got both for this exact reason. I’ve got a bunch of nuts that have to go deep on long studs on a particular part I see often. Good sockets didn’t have the reach, cheapies did. Still had to mill out the round center bore to make it all work. I hear what you’re saying buddy, but the best tool is the one that gets the job done.
7:35 nothin but a boat anchor but a good collector's piece!
"Why does it need to be so big?" AvE asking the hard hitting questions.
It only comes in black?
the old ratchet from snap on was for military use .Also IH used those in the factories in the 30s .it kept people from needing the tools at home .It was 5/16 drive .the local snap on guy had the parts in his truck to convert mine to 1/4 inch and gave me back the old gear .Mine was my grandfathers and my son just had it updated for me gave it to me on my recent birthday .a cool piece of history
I found that a different difference ended up being of great importance to me and my work. I prefer the fully broached deep sockets b/c on many of the cheaper ones (read: all of them) the centre bore is too small to accommodate the stud that mounts the nut you're attacking. So even though the nut may drop all the way in, at least I can reach it past the stud hanging out there. A good example in case you're not reading my mail just yet...u-bolts on your truck. One other advantage of deeply broached sockets is that in a confined space the nut can just back itself into the socket rather than bottoming out and forcing the tool to back off, and getting jammed in a tight space. Aint nobody got time for that! The few times that I have not been able to start an ut by hand I have just stacked nuts in the socket to compensate for depth.
on some metals the heat treat is orders of magnitude more expensive than the actual material itself is
All I got was deep and thick... Also do not watch AVE right after an appendectomy, I almost bust a stitch.
fun trying to go to the loo though takes the strain right out of it. feel better
Whatever ya do dont try and hold in a sneeze!!
AvE does not perform good appendectomies... He had to hand the scalpel over to Chickadee.
@ave I had the same problem with an old snap on “1/4” drive, thought I was loosing my mind before realizing the difference. You can get a ratchet rebuild kit online that will make it a real 1/4 drive. Love the videos. Cheers
Great info ! now to make out my Christmas list timely advice wise one
I wish I hadn't watched this video. I can't unsee what I've seen.
can you show us 10mm socket... oh wait where is that f...!$%!%!
I just checked, and I have at least four 10mm sockets: two deep 3/8" drive, a shallow 1/4" drive (all 6 point) and a shallow 3/8" 12 point. I must be doing something wrong. I couldn't find my impact sockets, but I *think* those are all SAE anyway. Or not. Idk. I've heard the bit about always losing the 10, but have no idea why.
Someone should sell a 100 piece 10mm only socket set.
Hehe, I saw a diagram titled “How do I spend my time at the garage”, it went like this: 13% Disassembling stuff 12% Assembling stuff 75% Looking for the tool that was in my hands a minute ago
I have some Snap On 9/32 stuff! I don have the case though. It even has some square drive sockets with it. It was my Father in laws. He was a machinist. I found it in his tools when he died. I've actually used them a few times and it all still works.
Love your videos. I'm designing my own guitar overdrive/distortion pedal. I'm thinking of calling it the Skookum AF Drive. And the gain knob will definitely be labeled chooch.
Am I crazy in thinking the depth of the broaching in a socket is more of a personal preference and need of whatever particular job you're doing....In tight places, that shallow broached deep socket will screw you every time...as it wedges against the opposing tight spot material.
Yep, that was me this last weekend changing shocks on my truck... as the nut came up it wedged the ratchet tighter and tighter against the fender well.
Depth of socket drive end depth depends on specific need. There are times when a deep socket with a full length depth drive is absolutely needed and times when a deep socket with just enough depth to support the bolt-nut-screw at the drive end is needed. This is just one reason why no single tool brand or socket style-design is ideal for all needs.
Nice hydraulic press channel reference. Did anybody else catch that?
We must deal with it...
Yep :)
I have that same lisle tap socket set! Like you said, friggin awesome set!
Hey mister Ave, just realized I have a video youmight beinterested in. My partner salvaged an old Bridgeport that was going to be scrapped. It was an early cnc version that crapped out. He ripped out all the guts, and rewired it to a serialinterface to and old macbook. In this video, we clamped a Hazard Frought plasma cutter to the table with some unistrut and ran a program to cut a bunch of flour de lees for some hot hippie chick’s burning man sculpture. 100% home brew cnc control on a 40 year old Bridgey. I think you might be one of the few to appreciate this in spiteof my shitty video skills..
I'm always impressed by AvE's level of OPSEC keeping himself secret from the world. Very admirable tbh.
As weird as it is I’d like to see a video on swivels. Especially impact grade swivels and which way they make is best.
No such thing as impact swivel. But there are impact wobblers. They don't bind up like a uni-joint will.
Tap sockets! Never seen them before, thanks for that.
For those that cant figure this out: the point of deep sockets is to allow the threaded side of a bolt to pass through the socket, deep enough to reach the NUT on the back side. The shelf helps so you dont have to change sockets and makes the socket more useful on the tool. You dont need the depth on the bolt side. Hence yhe shelf. Only needs to be deep enough to effectively grab any depth of nut.
Hey, I thought it was "No-Nut November"
You could leave a note in that oddball set, but beyond the grave chuckles are the best chuckles.
I have actually had to grind a cheap husky 10mm socket down because the "lead-in" lip was too deep that it would slip off the half nuts I needed to take off. Ground it down flush with the straight walls worked like a charm.
Another fan of the Hydraulic Press Channel, I see.
Aaaand, here we go.
As far as the socket depth, in most cases its quicker/easier to hand thread the nut on 2-3 turns. Then use whatever applicable socket to tighten. Or did I miss something...
A lot of times you can't get your hand in there AND the threads are a little chewy and you need torque to start it AND your holes aren't perfectly lined up so you need a little extra sideways to get it in straight.
That's what she said.
@@arduinoversusevil2025 As soon as I submitted that comment, it dawned on me of those little times when you need to do such things. The annoying crap that ends up eating away minutes/hours of ones life.
Your threads are chewy because you keep starting with a socket wrench. fenga start them screws and you wont need to worry bout them being chewy
Or why not just put a couple of nuts in the socket to keep it from being too deep
I like cheap tools because they are a good starting point for making custom tools. Like a harbor freight allen key set that I trimmed down to make into "shallow" allens. Same length on the long leg, but the short leg is cut to just after the bend. I've had to use them a couple times for installing aftermarket aux lights on a couple bikes. Or their 12-point sockets that I use solely for super rusty nuts and just hammer them on. I've expanded my 11mm to roughly 11.7mm at this point just from hammering it onto crusty 12mm nuts.
I've seen measurable amounts of tolerance differences between super cheap like harbor freight vs middle road like craftsman as well. I even once got a 3/4 inch combination wrench from hazard fraught which measured about .050" short of a 3/4 on the open end.
Always spray brake cleaner directly into cuts
I have one of those useless snap-off ratchets too, except in 5/8" drive.
When he first said it wasn't 1/4", I thought it was going to be 5/16" drive. I've seen a few tools in that.
I can’t unsee this video. Thanks.
That's why you start threads with your fingers, starting with it in a socket is a good way to cross thread it. I've never started with a socket. Even in a deep well you can get your finger in there most of the time.
This should be a verse in the mechanic's bible. Euripides 2:13: Thou shalt not start a nut with a power tool.

Hey ave, great video as always, might be sacrilege but could you give that old snapon a bit of a touch up with the mill to bring its size down a touch without impacting its strength?
I have that Strap-On ratchet that someone sadly butchered to accept 1/4 drive sockets. Shame. Great piece of history from 1932 that’s basically a paper weight. Great points as always. Keep’em going.

I've got one of these 9/32 sets I got from my grandfather. I do wish Snapon still made this style of spinning t-handle in the standard sizes.

I like to keep some cheap tools around for modification purposes. Welding these tools seems to go best with 309 stainless steel or Inconel 82 filler wire. Tig works great on the fine details but Stick rod has that nice flux coating that turns into that beautiful insulating slag that slows the cooling rate. The deep well cheap sockets are great to put in a lathe when a deep socket is to deep but a shallow socket is to shallow. I am aware that you can buy medium well and extra shallow sockets. The problem is they are expensive and if you need one on short notice good luck!
The Snap on set at the end is a 9/32 drive. was quite common at one time. I have some made by Britool and King Dick dating from the second world war with British War Department markings. I also have a similar set of Snap on to the one in the vidjao. Still better tools than most of the garbage coming from the far east today
