Get the twist sockets for rounded off and rusty fastners.I have several sets of them and well worth every penny saving me time.Mayhew makes them including Irwin.Mine are Matco sets which are rebranded Irwin and Mayhews.They do work.
Irwins even rebranded ones do not work well from my experience. I have a large set of the Irwins thinking i was getting ahead of the problem it is just a waste of money on properly hardened bolts. I have only had the Irwins work 2-3 times every other time it just rounds the crap out of the twists in the socket. Not familiar with the Mayhew twist sockets. Though I am familiar with the turbo sockets which is what the bluepoint ones are. They work amazing. I am guessing the Mayhew is very similar. If it is Mayhew i would trust it, I have not bee let down by a single one of their tools yet. The Mayhew Select some times the quality leaves a little to be desired. I experienced that recently with an o-ring removal set that came free with my Mayhew Select Screwdrivers. The edges are sharp in a couple spots nothing a file and about 10-15 mins of my time will fix but, I shouldn’t have to do it.
I own some of the blue point ones i am probably just going to buy all turbo socket sets and then when i break one buy the blue point equivalent.
To some up so far the tools I have for these trucks is:
Snap-On Flank Drive + Wrenches
Snap-On PWZ set
Mayhew Select Driving end screwdriver set
Gray Pnuematic 6s 1/4″ Sockets
Mac Tools Precision Torque Impact Sockets 1/2″ Metric Deep ( I plan to get all of the 3/8″ + 1/2″ impact sockets in these)
2 Diff Nut Splitters
Snap-On SR40K tapered bit Extractors
Vise Grip “Locking Wrenches” All 3 Sizes
