Set includes 5/16in. through 3/4in. sockets in 1/16in. increments. Includes molded plastic case. U.S.A. 5/16-inch, 3/8-inch, 7/16-inch, 1/2-inch, 9/16-inch, 5/8-inch, 11/16-inch, and 3/4-inch sockets, packaged in a plastic tray.

The SK Hand Tools 8-Piece 3/8-Inch Drive 6-Point Swivel Fractional Impact Socket Set features a rust-preventative coating, which makes them exceptionally resistant to corrosion. 8 piece set is made in the U.S.A., featuring the SK’s High Visibility technology. In addition to the rust-preventative coating, the sockets are laser engraved every 120° with extra-large markings for improved readability.

All the SK impact sockets feature the SK’s SureGrip hex design, which drives the side of the hex, not the corner. This not only provides increased strength, but also avoids the rounding of rusted or damaged fasteners, which can occur when using a sharp cornered hex tool. Extra recess depth and a 30 degree flex angle allow for improved access. SK’s smooth collar design protects the user’s hand while in use by preventing the pin from working loose.

Panasonic EY6432GQKW Cordless Drills

Executive Summary about : Cordless Drills by Agus Mardiana &  www.amazon.com

Technical Details

The tool features dual speed ranges of 65 to 450 and 200 to 1,450 rpm. The 1/2-inch chuck takes bigger bits. The first thing you notice about this tool, however, is how compact it is (the chassis measures only 8-1/2 inches) and how comfortable it feels in your hand.

This Panasonic packs up to 390 inch-pounds of torque–as much (if not more) than anyone needs in a cordless tool. The motor’s speed control allows full torque at any speed, so you can apply full torque while still maintaining control.

This drill is a smart buy for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and even woodworkers–in short, anyone who wants a small, compact drill that packs a lot of torque and is built to last. The package includes a 55-minute universal charger and hard-plastic carrying case.

The Panasonic EY6432GQKW is the cordless drill/driver recommended in more reviews than any other. It’s a well-tested model that comparison reviews often rank at the top, even above cordless drills that use batteries with higher voltage.

It’s nicely positioned, serving both homeowners and professionals at a moderate cost. If you mainly only need a cordless drill for occasional jobs, consider the budget-priced 12-volt Ryobi HJP001K, whose lithium-ion batteries have shorter runtime but hold their charge longer between uses.

Pros

  • Best blend of power, weight and price
  • Comfortable to use
  • 3.5-Ah batteries for long runtime
  • 50-minute charger

Cons

  • Warranty only one year
  • Not meant for big construction jobs
  • A few owners report durability problems
