Yep, same here. I will always pay the extra if no skips are offered. I wanted a full set of 1/2" deep metric's and the only full sets were offered by Tekton. They had a 10mm- 32mm set but I opted to pay the nearly $50 extra for the 10mm-38mm set. I've had the set for 3 years and I'm yet to need the 33mm-38mm but dammit, I have them ready when or if I do!
Just bought the Quinn impact set this Memorial Day sale at HF with the 25% discount! I saw your video a few weeks ago, helped me decide to go this route! So thanks!
Same. Also got the 37 piece Pittsburgh 3/8” + 1/2” set (68011) for a friend’s birthday since I also gave him a Craftsman CMCF940 1/2” high-torque impact (rebadged DeWALT DCF899). The Quinn Master set is almost too heavy to carry but at least I know it has deep and shallow for nearly every size. The Pittsburgh 37pc seems better suited for a roadside tool set since it’s positively featherweight. I only just realized that the bundled 3/8” to 1/2” adapter is the opposite of what he needs for the tool I gave him so he can’t even use half the sockets. Maybe I should’ve got him a 1/2” Quinn Master set too but I’m not made of money! ;)
I’m a heavy duty diesel mechanic I have the 1/2in drive Quinn set, they been abused and work Great, have not broken one yet and is a great alternative to other sets like cornwell, Snap-on, etc. I know Quinn is just rebranded Pittsburg but pits skip on sockets and for the whole set Quinn is just better at price, and quality with 0 skips in sizes.
Very in depth video. I'm looking at buying the Quinn set so your video was very helpful and also let's me know the sockets will fit in my socket organizer so thank you so much for putting all the work into this video!
You have laser etching and stamped reversed, the stamped is an engraving that comes from cold rolling the socket deep into the metal, while the laser etching burns white letters into the black surface treatment. Pittsburgh Pro sockets are only laser etched, and the Icon are only stamped.
Yeah, the icon tools are made better but definitely priced accordingly up there as well. I was dreaming about the icon set but they're just a bit too pricy for me who probably only have time to work use those tools 2-3 times a month... I might upgrade if I get to use them more later down the road.
The Quinn impact set is the same as the Capri socket set. Tony the technician did a video on this. So whoever makes both they come from the same factory. Gearwrench makes the icon impact sockets. Actually it's apex tools they make a lot of brand's. Btw how have you been? Great video btw. Very informative. 👍
Idk about the quality but I feel that a lot of products look the same nowadays. I can't tell who makes what anymore since a lot of them are just the same thing and slap on different brand names. If you use Amazon often, you'll know what I mean. I think HF have multiple factories making the same product because sometimes products with the same SKU might be made differently (e.g. US General boxes). Anyway, I've been doing well! Just a lot of things happened with life and is struggling a bit to find time to work on stuff and make videos XD How about you?
Once again, we seem to be on the same path! Same US General 5-drawer cart Same 428 piece Quinn Master Technician Tool Set …and now I’m in the market for the same Quinn 1/2” Master Impact Set. If anyone ever questions whether or not your videos are selling tools, they definitely are!
Grey Pneumatic or Genius impact sockets are the impact sockets you can get for the money from what i can see for the money in terms of quality to cost.
After working on Cars and trucks for 42 years in dealerships and working for a City Of Chicago as had Snap On Tools or Matco tools or Mac tools the thickness of the socket does not determine the quality of the socket. Many snap on sockets are very thin and they don’t break.
I don't like sets that skip sizes because a lot of aftermarket parts and fasteners are oddball sizes and you never know when you'll need those that have been skipped...a lot of the Pittsburgh socket sets skip the 18mm which there isn't a sae equivalent of.
Do it, it’s a nice set. Picked mine up today and was using it a bit on the car. I figure you can either spend $60 on a 9 piece set of Craftsman or for $100, get 48 piece Quinn. Both are lifetime warranty and both are Chinese so what the hell is the difference lol
A deal breaker for me with Quinn was they don't sell individual pieces. So if you're needing a different size or lose a pice the only way to replace it is to buy it in a kit. With a company like Tekton you can buy individual pieces of everything they sell.
@@jerrybersaminaA search on Harbor Freight website shows he was essentially right: Harbor Freight sells individual sockets for only a few big sizes - three sae sizes and four metric sizes that are mostly used for lug nuts and such other heavy duty jobs.
Just picked up the Milwaukee 43-Piece Impact 3/8 in. Drive SAE and Metric Deep 6 Point Socket Set for $100 and think it's quite a deal. 5/16 to 3/4 & 8mm to 19mm shallow & deep, swivel, extension & 1/4" impact adaptor
I got the Quinn Master Tech 428pc set and saw the Husky 432pc set at a salvage store yesterday. Honestly, when I look at the Husky box I don’t see where all the extra stuff is since it looks like it’s all just wrenches and sockets! Maybe that means it has less filler but I kinda like all the extras with the Quinn set.
OK, what I actually saw was the Husky 349-piece Mechanics Tools set for 215 (normally 400). At a glance, I thought the big difference was no dedicated screwdrivers but it seems both 349 and 432pc kits only have a bit driver. Score one for Quinn. The 349pc kit doesn’t have any universal joints or breaker bars either so it loses to Quinn and big-brother Husky 432pc in those areas.
Tekton or Capri tools is the way to go. I'm a bit of a tool snob (Professional Mechanic), but honestly pretty much everything I've bought from Harbor Freight felt like shit in the hand or broke. For the DIY guy or homeowner, I'm sure they're fine. I appreciate their no questions asked warranty, but I don't have time to deal with that. Tekton and Capri are the cheapest I'll go.
@@emmettturner9452 Never honestly took notice. Good info to have. I only have a few things from Capri. I really like their nut drivers. Have a set of their 6 point bolt extraction wrenches as well. They get the job done.
@luke8222 Well from were I heard JH William is the co-founder, of kobalt, who also is at one point a co-founder for Snap-on tools as well. Later down the line he sold another patton, design, to some company from Taiwan, which is now the tools known as Quinn tool, kobalt & Quinn socket are so the same. But hay that's what I heard?
The capri master set is almost identical to the Quinn. The only difference I can say is at the bottom of the socket. The Quinn’s are missing some material.
![[REVIEW] I Got the Quinn 6" Digital Caliper with Lifetime Warranty! Is It Worth It?](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1Nm5pJ_RGFw/mqdefault.jpg)
I completely understand not skipping. Even if i never use them, if a set has skips i do not buy it. Lol.

The quinn is more durable made from moly not vanadium
I've got the 3/8 drive set I work on alot of garbage trucks they been abused and no problems
I use the Pittsburgh deep impact sockets almost daily. Never had an issue with them. Got them on sale for like $20. Good deal.
They last forever lol

Best comparison video for these ..I know which ones I’m getting thanks 😊
I have all the shallow and deep icon chrome sockets. I plan on buying the icon impact next. Thanks for review.
I have both sets of deep 3/8 icon impact sockets and I’m been extremely impressed. Looking into getting the 1/2 swivels but they are very pricey
Yeah, the icon tools are made better but definitely priced accordingly up there as well. I was dreaming about the icon set but they're just a bit too pricy for me who probably only have time to work use those tools 2-3 times a month... I might upgrade if I get to use them more later down the road.
Find out who makes them and look for that brand. I don’t remember the various brands that make for icon.
The Quinn impact set is the same as the Capri socket set. Tony the technician did a video on this. So whoever makes both they come from the same factory. Gearwrench makes the icon impact sockets.

Yes sir, things happen in life that mess up your schedule sometimes. No worries totally understand. I'm good just working a lot.
The Quinn set tony was talking about was the 3/8 master set tho not the 1/2 I don’t believe he has made a video on the 1/2 master set yet
Once again, we seem to be on the same path!
Same US General 5-drawer cart
Same 428 piece Quinn Master Technician Tool Set
…and now I’m in the market for the same Quinn 1/2” Master Impact Set.

Lol I had to re-watch the video to see what you were talking about 😂😂
@@josephnavarro3620 unbelievable!😂
I didn't catch that, but you finger nails are very clean.
I'm thinking of getting the 3/8 quinn 48 PC impact socket set it's 99$

Quinn made in Taiwan
@@ddbala Go Taiwan!
Sunex 3342 is 20$ less than the Quinn 3/8 and has the same socket selection of deep and shallow in the same range
@@dhangejr Yeah, but no one pays full price for Harbor Freight/Quinn. ;) Wait for a sale and add a 20%/25% coupon.

I did too.
Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

The quinn is a great socket set, but if I hear correctly, the Quinn brand is the sister to kobalt brand.
How..?
