So it looks like this vid is almost 4 years old and honestly I love it!! It gives us a feel for what you pros experience with daily and heavy use. I was worried these were the chinese crap from the 80s that would shatter with just a hand ratchet and no cheater bar. God I've had some crap tools before. However for us weekend warriors, Quinn seems to be just fine. I've been looking at their new Master Socket Sets and they look really nice. Lifetime warranty and the HF lady said "If we don't have the individual tool, we'll crack open a set and give you one out of that set"...sound perfect for me. Thanks again.
Honestly, for like i said, the 10 or so bucks that the set had cost me, even with heavy shop use, was impressed. 6 months was kind of the sets too end day to day hard useage, but of you look at someone gwtting started on budget, or occasional home use tools, not bad at all. Are there competitive options, yes, but also, proximity to hft etc can make difference in choices. So if you get a coupon to where everything comes out to 10-12 bucks a set-ish (40-50 for met and sae deep and short set) i dont think would be money wasted for home or starting up
@@BeardedSeabee82 - thanks man and yeah I agree. What's hard for us home DIYers to know is how bad is bad. Or how they will hold up for us. And your vids/comments really help put all of that into perspective. So well done and thanks again!!
@@BeardedSeabee82 I am not even a 'weekend warrior' - more like a 'once a month' warrior. I will never wear out any set - whether cheap or expensive but I have been told by some people over the years that expensive sets (Snap-on in particular) will 'grab' a bolt better and you're less likely to round it off. Do you think that's true? I'm don't need to do anything on a budget but I don't want to waste money either
@@jeffa847 Thankyou for your question, as it highlights some valid points. As for wearing this set out part time wrenching at home, I dont think it would be a problem as you arent wrenching on semi trucks and large equipment daily as I do, so Snap On would NOT be for you. However, it isnt what I would call a complete set either. I would say look around at some more complete sets (Tekton, Capri, Olsa, etc) that do offer sizes 5/16-3/4 and 8 or 10mm-19mm as far as 3/8 drive goes, then look at good set of ratchets (Olsa, Capri, even GW). Unless you can find a hella deal on market place or online auction site. But amazon or local northern tool are good places to check. Any other questions, let me know.
Definitely Harbor Freight hand tools are meant for weekend warriors at their low to mid-tier brands. I don't need the highest-end tools as a DIYer, so Pittsburgh Pro, Daytona, and Quinn are good for my needs. I get by with a 1/4-inch Gearwrench and a DeWalt 1/2-inch ratchet, also have a Pittsburgh Pro 3/8. If I were a full blown mechanic I'd probably need better tools, but I only have 4 cars I work on every 6-12 months, so what I have works just fine. My friend who is a mechanic works on 4-5 cars a day at the dealership he works at, so probably the tools I have would die in 9-months for him too, but for me they'll probably last a lifetime since I just don't have that many cars to wrench on since I'm a DIYer.
It is a fair set, ideal for home, and for the price definitly decent, but yeah, wrenching full time they dont last, but also made for ok road kit, if i lose one outside not heartbroken lol
As a 30 year maintenance technician I totally agree with you not some thing that I would want to use every day I just bought the master mechanic tool set for my son for Christmas he probably won’t ever use one of them but great value for the buck he’s not a technician
As a 30 year aircraft technician that would’ve been a great starter set for me I totally agree with you 100% just bought that master mechanic set for my son this Christmas he’ll probably never use any of them ever but he’s got them for the price I would recommend it highly I wouldn’t bash the queens that yeah if you can afford snap on her another name brand go forward everyone can so got to keep that in mind
For the money these ran with coupon it honestly is stupid not to get them. If i need to cut one up to weld rogether a specialty tool or if i loose a piece, my heart and wallet wont cry, but even at that, it is a decent home/trunk/starter set.
Overall, for price tag they arent too bad, made for bit lighter duty than what i put them through, but worth the 10 or so bucks you can get them for at the store!
I bought these and some Pittsburgh sockets because they were cheap and I don’t work on vehicles for living. I purchased sets in all three drive sizes with ratchets for less than a complete medium quality set. They have been okay but the metal is a little soft and some are showing wear. I have replaced them with GearWrench in 1/4 Drive and 3/8 drive but haven’t settled on a replacement for my inch drive set yet. I will continue to use the Quinn and Pittsburgh sets for odd jobs and for things that Involve hammers...
For mild to medium use they arent a bad set, the fact they are 6 point kind of makes them handy to round out sets for home, or like you said, jobs that involve hammers or even custom made tools lol. Thanks for watching!
I got that set when they were calling it Pittsburgh to round out my big craftsman set. I never had a problem but didn’t use them a whole lot. For not much more gearwrench is much nicer. I have about 6 years on them with occasional impact use and they’re still in perfect shape
THank you for the input! I think overall these do have a place, heavy use in shop, not quite so, but lighter use would last a while and having 6 points vs all those darn 12 points alot of sets fill in for their deep sockets this set could definitly even those out. I am going to try and get these replaced with something a bit more mid level to see how those hold up, Thank you for watching and hope that you have a good weekend
I got them in 3/8 & 1/4 deep because the starter set I got had the deeps in 12 point. I still have the 1/4 in my main box just in case my cart is across the shop. They serve their purpose.
I have been using mine for the last few years. However, my use is probably as much as you using them for a month. I went and bought an 18 from Home Depot. Really wish they included an 18 as that is a common size for my Tahoe. For a backup set, they will work great. Or put in the truck as an emergency set. Great review.
I know dave over at"If Its Not Broken Fix It", had similar go on with those color coded pitsburgh ones after just few months as well. One thing though would be decent set for truck or home to round out some of the other kits you get where they load all the deeps as 12 points lol. thanks for watching and the input!
I’ve got a bunch of mismatched stuff. Nothing really a brand name. All missing a piece or 2. I just do DIY stuff like maybe a brake job once a year. I did coil-overs and shocks on my truck. Stuff like that maybe once or twice a month plus household stuff. I want to get a full set (I know there’s no such thing and you’ll always need one offs) but something that will cover 99% of stuff. Quinn has a 428 pc set without a ton of fillers. Do you think they’d hold up to my use. For about $1200 I can get a US general cart the Quinn set and a few power tools 1/2 impact drill and 1/4 impact driver and batteries. $1200 wouldn’t go far with any of the big names. I know harbor freight isn’t the best but it seems a lot of bang for the buck
I would say storage wise, check out your local menards for a Masterforce toolbox or home depot for maybe something on the milwaukee side of things. I think you get a little more bang for buck with those options. As far as your useage, quinn 6 point sockets sae &mm, deep and shallow chromes for 3/8dr. 1/2" and 1/4" i would do some comparison shopping on amazon or other websites as you can find some better steals out there like CP, capri, tekton, olsa, and many others, especially in impact sizes. For what you do, you dont need milwaukee or bluepoint or snapon or other tool truck pricing for hand tools. Ratchet though, maye capri, or olsa or gear wrench for something good, and decent priced as far as sets go
I have the work pro branded Quinns. I use them at work and it’s been around 6 moths with them, they are starting to loosen up on me. But I have been impacting the hell out of it lol. I would like to see you used sunnex or tekton next 🤙
Thanks Junk, yeah the tekton are ones that i have been looking into as something a little more "mid range" on price and plausible quality, few other brands out there as well i may consider to replace these. thanks for watching, hope all up there in canukistan going ok!
Try to warranty them at your local HF when they get too beat up to use. I'm pretty confident they'll honor it, even if warranties usually don't cover wear and abuse.
Thanks for the video. Awesome Review, not sure on budget sockets, I personally use Carlyle, Cornwell and occasionally DeWalt. Nevertheless Awesome video. Thanks Again.
Thank you bobby for input on what you use and for watching. I am definitly thinking of replacing these with something more... mid range (price and plausible quality) to see how much better (or not) those might work. Hope you have a great weekend!
Definitly see it serving great in trunk kit, camper, jeep etc, be good way to round out some tool kits that have 12 points as their deeps. thanks for watching and hope that you have good weekend
What will you use as a professional turning all day? I'm a guy that does all my own work on my chevy (minus tranny rebuild) and I have my grandfathers old SK ratchet and sockets from the mid 1960's which still work good since I'm not a everyday turn and burn. I did pick up the Icon socket in sae and metric and they seem good. What's your opinion?
To anyone who sees this these sockets and ratchets are quality and will work for any diy project or even the occasional mechanic and if your worrying about breaking a socket or ratchet your not supposed to put 100Lbs of torque on them anyway that’s what a breaker bar is for just my opinion
If you would've watched the whole vid you would've heard the part where I said "they are a decent socket, good for home or backup or starting off, wprth the 10 bucks, but not made for full time shop use". As for their ratchets, I still hate the mushy, free floating selector switch and nevet been a fan of cross pawl engagement design.
LOL, thanks dave, yeah i would put these in the line of cheap, but luckily not too cheap. be good home or truck/trunk kit to round out those 12 point deeps alot of companies put in their kits. Hope you have a good weekend
Thank you Johnny! yup, overall they werent too bad, just not made to work hard on semi trucks for better part of a year solid lol. but one thing about hft, get a couple of them to start to wear out, if ya got one close, just load up whole set and take back in to swap out. hope you have a good weekend!
Brandon thanks for the review don’t need sockets but always wondered about those. The ship I’m on now has all Snap-On tools and I can say I’m not really that impressed. 😜. I still think SK was a lot better for working on diesels
What??? On the Lincoln, where i worked 3M, when we had to sign for a new "$189" tool kit from supply it was exact same as some of 60-70pc kits that hft sells for like 30 bucks... (same black blow molded case, only thing stamped on tools was China and socket sizes...)
Bearded Seabee82 bro on the new LCS ships they are outfitted with Snap On which is pretty damn cool. You know I’m just giving you hell because of the emoji. My previous ships we just had Westward and made in the USA Craftsman
@@toddosterhout9866 well now, yall are being spoiled lol. As for differences between sk and snap on, biggest thing is warranty, sk chrome or impact sockets or wrenches begin to wear out, sk calls that normal wear and tear and is non-warrantable. Snap on, thi gs start to wear out, they just swap it out. That and most sockets i jave he keeps on tool truck, usually dont have to mail anything out. And yes i know you were just givin me shit, wouldnt expect anyless from a gator freighter rider 🤣👍🇺🇲
I dont think hft will in those sizes, however sunex or gearwench or even tekton might have those sizes available in 6 point. Would recommend shopping around though to find those sizes you need
Bearded Seabee82 thanks Been looking at Sears,Gearwench and all the pawn shop in town. Home Depot and Lowe’s you can buy single sockets in those sides,but there are anywhere from $4 to $10 a peace. I will keep looking.
true, need-a-tool-make-a-tool having spares around for that is always a good thing, i feel much better welding hft/cheap stuff than i do something domestically made/higher priced. hope you have a good weekend bud!
Yeah, they held up a little better than i had originally expected from nft, but definitly not made for constant heavy use. I have been a little curious about some of de walts, and milwaukee's hand tools lately, as well as few other brands, but will for sure keep your input in mind!
Good review brother, I knew they’d only be good for limited use. The Kobalt was waaaaayyy better. You should get some USA Williams stuff to try out. Even just the socket you need to replace you’re bluepoint. Hell get a Williams Taiwan same as bluepoint. Although a lot easier for you to warranty the bluepoint. Be interesting to see the USA Williams vs the bluepoint. Single sockets are stupid cheap for USA made stuff.
Thanks Rob, and true, little easier for me to get my blue point warrantied than prob will to get williams direct warrantied,, and I was going to replace it with sk, but after you had mentioned the williams as comparison (and it is a buck or two cheaper on amazon than sk for their usa one) going to go that route here in bit. Hope you have a good weekend!
I'm pretty sure Icon is rebranded Quinn now 😜 I only ever used the 1/4" drive. When they came out they were cheaper than the Pittsburghs but they have slowly raised their prices to where i tell most to go with PP unless they want that stripe for easier identification
Well, like i said, for home and softer use these arent bad, especially if you get that 10 dollar coupon. But it is time to move on to something hopefully bit better and more mid ranged for testing. hope your weekend going well bud!
What is your view on Tekton? I have used Craftsman sets for 40+ years, Kobalt for 15 and Pittsburg (mainly impact) for around 12+ years. I'm thinking on getting Tekton, starting off with their Torque wrenches and Impact sockets, then moving down their line.
Havent had opportunity (as of moment) to try tekton sockets, have been eyeballing their set though. For most part i ha e used snap on, mac, matco for most socket and impacts i have. I ha e heard good things about their stubby wrenches though. Thankyou for watching
@@BeardedSeabee82 ...A lot of guys in the Jeep community swear by them. The Ratchets were tested and compared evenly with Snap on. Tekton offers a No-Worry warranty, just email them a picture and they send you a new tool.
Sockets, especially smaller one, are something I prefer a quality set. I had Gearwrench and now use Grey Pneumatic Duos. Don’t see myself going back to anything else after using those for 2 years now.
Bearded Seabee82 Definitely check em out. If you care about warranty at all, you need to get them from an “authorized” dealer for warranty, such as Cornwell (I believe they sell them). Also, make sure you’re set has the wobble extensions. Those things are amazing.
Feel like if you going to be doing this for a career every day 20+ years just get tool truck brand. But it’s always good to have a cheap set laying around.
LOL, always more than enough air compressor for me, but apparently never enough for yall lol. thanks for watching rob, yeah, these were what they were, but yup, ye olde taiwanese kobalt has held up better. thankyou for watching
19pc kobalt metric set with ratchet, extension, swivel, shallow and deeps runs 25 on their website. So roughly same price or cheaper really as concern to sockets.
This guy is full of it. Their lifetime warranty. There for home use. My word of advice to him, if your a professional go buy mac, or snap on. And don't throw those sockets away return them and gift them away to a starter mechanic.
If you plan on using a whole bunch would agree with ya, you can add about 20 or 30 bucks to the 10 bucks these cost and get something better from tekton, capri, etc.
So it looks like this vid is almost 4 years old and honestly I love it!! It gives us a feel for what you pros experience with daily and heavy use.

Heavy duty diesel mechanic Quinn is my main set no issues 7 years running
it is a bang for buck set, just that 10mm though didnt hold up, but for 10 bucks, hell hard as hell to beat that price.
Good honest review by someone who knows what he is talking about. Thank you
Great review. I was always iffy about Quinn.love my old USA craftsman
I am still rocking a couple of my old usa craftsmans at work every day yet, and use them quite a bit at home, still goin strong! Thanks for watching!
Olsa sockets any good?
Great review. Exactly what I was looking for!
regarding the 18mm, you can get 17.9mm via the SAE set
I have been using mine for the last few years. However, my use is probably as much as you using them for a month. I went and bought an 18 from Home Depot. Really wish they included an 18 as that is a common size for my Tahoe. For a backup set, they will work great. Or put in the truck as an emergency set. Great review.
For the cost, for vehicle/spare/home set they indeed arent bad. Thanks for watching and your input!
great review you're not wrong!!!
Thank you Chad, hope your weekend going alright!
I use the Pittsburgh sockets daily along with a couple from Capri and the Pittsburgh ones seem to be doing the same thing.
I know dave over at"If Its Not Broken Fix It", had similar go on with those color coded pitsburgh ones after just few months as well. One thing though would be decent set for truck or home to round out some of the other kits you get where they load all the deeps as 12 points lol. thanks for watching and the input!

Been looking at Sears,Gearwench and all the pawn shop in town. Home Depot and Lowe’s you can buy single sockets in those sides,but there are anywhere from $4 to $10 a peace. I will keep looking.

Man, those quinn sockets didn't hold up very well. Check out the dewalt sockets that are made in Taiwan, I'm pretty impressed.

Even just the socket you need to replace you’re bluepoint. Hell get a Williams Taiwan same as bluepoint. Although a lot easier for you to warranty the bluepoint. Be interesting to see the USA Williams vs the bluepoint. Single sockets are stupid cheap for USA made stuff.
Thanks Rob, and true, little easier for me to get my blue point warrantied than prob will to get williams direct warrantied,, and I was going to replace it with sk, but after you had mentioned the williams as comparison (and it is a buck or two cheaper on amazon than sk for their usa one) going to go that route here in bit. Hope you have a good weekend!
Bearded Seabee82 sweet try that website brother. Maybe you’ll pick up more stuff you don’t need I mean need 😂😂👍🏼
I'm pretty sure Icon is rebranded Quinn now 😜 I only ever used the 1/4" drive. When they came out they were cheaper than the Pittsburghs but they have slowly raised their prices to where i tell most to go with PP unless they want that stripe for easier identification
Well, like i said, for home and softer use these arent bad, especially if you get that 10 dollar coupon. But it is time to move on to something hopefully bit better and more mid ranged for testing. hope your weekend going well bud!
@@BeardedSeabee82 dont u get snippy with me! 😘
Awesome thanks brother
Thank you for watching! Hope you have a good weekend
@@BeardedSeabee82 thanks hope you have a good one to brother
What is your view on Tekton?
I have used Craftsman sets for 40+ years, Kobalt for 15 and Pittsburg (mainly impact) for around 12+ years.
I'm thinking on getting Tekton, starting off with their Torque wrenches and Impact sockets, then moving down their line.
Havent had opportunity (as of moment) to try tekton sockets, have been eyeballing their set though. For most part i ha e used snap on, mac, matco for most socket and impacts i have. I ha e heard good things about their stubby wrenches though. Thankyou for watching
@@BeardedSeabee82 ...A lot of guys in the Jeep community swear by them. The Ratchets were tested and compared evenly with Snap on. Tekton offers a No-Worry warranty, just email them a picture and they send you a new tool.
Sockets, especially smaller one, are something I prefer a quality set. I had Gearwrench and now use Grey Pneumatic Duos. Don’t see myself going back to anything else after using those for 2 years now.
Thank you for the input, you are one of a few thus far who have mentioned the duo's, i may have to look into those, thank you for the input!
Bearded Seabee82 Definitely check em out. If you care about warranty at all, you need to get them from an “authorized” dealer for warranty, such as Cornwell (I believe they sell them). Also, make sure you’re set has the wobble extensions. Those things are amazing.
Feel like if you going to be doing this for a career every day 20+ years just get tool truck brand. But it’s always good to have a cheap set laying around.
yup, you never know if you have to custom weld a tool together on occasion, or have loaner/backup set. thanks for watching!
Good video Brandon! 👍👍
Thank you! Hope that you have a great weekend!
Interesting figured it would be the same as kobalt. Video as always needs more air compressor.
LOL, always more than enough air compressor for me, but apparently never enough for yall lol. thanks for watching rob, yeah, these were what they were, but yup, ye olde taiwanese kobalt has held up better. thankyou for watching
This video definitely needed more cowbell
lolol thanks for watching jolsen
@@BeardedSeabee82 not a problem
Do a PRICE comparison.....that is the REAL deal !!!
19pc kobalt metric set with ratchet, extension, swivel, shallow and deeps runs 25 on their website. So roughly same price or cheaper really as concern to sockets.
This guy is full of it. Their lifetime warranty. There for home use. My word of advice to him, if your a professional go buy mac, or snap on. And don't throw those sockets away return them and gift them away to a starter mechanic.
"They're for home use" lol. And indeed as I stated, worth the 10 bucks for at home or spares in truck bag or starting out.
I don't by Quinn ANYTHING
If you plan on using a whole bunch would agree with ya, you can add about 20 or 30 bucks to the 10 bucks these cost and get something better from tekton, capri, etc.
@@BeardedSeabee82 Yes agreed 👍🏻
A snap on set would
