Grey Pneumatic 8163MRD Tool Review

[EricTheCarGuy]

I really like this socket set if you couldn’t tell. I’ve used just about every major professional tool brand there is and I think these sockets are as good if not better than all of them. What are your thoughts?

Your review sold me on trying a set I had to order them in so I will post what I think about them in a couple days .
Thanks for the review I’ve heard of G/P but haven’t given much thought about putting them in my box until now.

Can you compare it with any low profile 3/8 ratchet? I would like to know if this ratchet is thinner than competing ratchet.

I needed a 1/4″ set today but ended up with a cheap set to get me by for today’s project. Oh well.

Just curious, do you know of someone who got hurt using a chrome socket on an air wrench. I mean, if I am under a car and what I can reach is a chrome socket, at least up till now, I’d be disinclined to crawl out for a black one.

Perhaps on the next one. Since this one is already done and edited it would be difficult to go back and do the review again. But from what I remember it wasn’t any thicker than the other ratchets I have.

Thanks for your input.

I don’t know anyone personally, but there have been several comments on my videos in the past on this topic. So to avoid those comments, I thought I would address the issue in the video.

Base on Eric recommendations I just order the 81635MRD tool set.
Has anyone else purchase this set?

Eric I support your efforts.
Your tips and videos have help me tremendously.
Far as I am concern best ten bucks I spent.

Hope to one day make your open house.

NIce! I hope to get a 1/4 set for myself in the not too distant future. I really love my 3/8. Thanks for posting the review.

[John Wilkins]

Hope you get a kick back for all the sales youre gettin from your review.. :woohoo:

[Gord]

So, what’s the overall recommendation? Is this set worth getting or not?
I’m looking for a decent 3/8 drive set, I have some 3/8 drive stuff now but would really like a good set… should I get this set or is there something else I should look at.

I really don’t want to spend a fortune for a set, I know Snap-on and maybe some others are better?? But I’m not a professional so I wouldn’t be using it every day or making a living using it.

Thanks in advance.
