I was really disappointed by this socket. While the metal seems to be of good quality, the socket itself does not seem well made or well designed.<br /><br />First of all the magnet sits too close to the mouth, so the effective depth is quite shallow. This is fine if you are just using it to start a fastener. It's actually really good for starting fasteners, because the magnet is quite strong. However, since the depth is so shallow, as soon as you apply any torque it pops off and begins to round the bolt flange. I was only tightening to 50 inch pounds and I had repeated pop-offs.<br /><br />It also appears that the magnet in mine is not evenly seated.<br /><br />My SK 8mm on the other hand, grips better, has less play, and doesn't pop off or round the flange and costs about the same.
