Astro Tools 78314 14-Piece 3/8" Drive Low Profile Nano Impact Sockets - Metric

I recently added the Astro Tools 78314 14‑piece 3/8″ drive nano impact socket set to my toolbox, and I couldn’t be more impressed. These compact sockets pack remarkable power and versatility, delivering performance you’d expect from full-size sets—with a tiny footprint. 🔧 Why I love it: • Ultra‑low profile design: At just 0.88” (22.5 mm) long, they’re about 35% shorter than traditional shallow impact sockets and 15% shorter than other stubby nano options—perfect for tight engine bays and cramped spaces. • Rugged CR‑MO construction: Forged from chrome‑molybdenum steel with thicker walls than competitors, these feel robust enough for serious torque without cracking. • 17 mm outside hex feature: Makes it easy to turn with a wrench when a ratchet alone isn’t enough. • Professional-grade value: Comparable to bigger brands like Ko‑Ken at a much friendlier price—without sacrificing quality. 👍 Standout real-world results: • Got me into sub‑tight areas that used to require extensions or awkward angles—now, it’s a straight shot. • Handles high torque applications with zero deformation—haven’t had a single rounded stub. • All 14 sockets cover my typical metric needs, and the included aluminum holder keeps them secure and organized. ⸻ Bottom Line: If you’re a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast working in tight, torque-demanding areas, the Astro Tools 78314 nano impact socket set is a game-changer. It’s compact, tough, well-designed, and excellent value. Highly recommended!

Great nano sockets that come on a nice aluminum rail with ball detents so they dont come off in the tool box. Worth the money 👍

Hugh quality sockets, very versatile in use. Very easy to use as most sockets are. They function very well, being able to get into tighter spots then most sockets can get into. 5/5 stars so far, size range is nice as well. Very useful when needed.

Great quality tools I love the low profile aspect of the system. I only thing that I don't like is the astro made ratchets don't have a reverse switch on them. I understand that adding a reverse switch would add height to the head, but maybe make 2 options one with the switch and one without please.

I've used these for the last 7 months or so in a shop setting and I haven't broke one yet, they are good for tight spots but best if used with a 17mm ratcheting wrench of course. Worth the purchase forsure, I pick these up first when I need sockets for anything at work.

Got this with the flex head mini and extended. Worked great and once lubricated i could tell they could last. A tool I've wished I've had for many jobs

The 17mm wrench fitting is invaluable and makes these worthwhile. I guess they had to decide whether durability was more of a concern than low profile, and went with durability. Most of these are no shorter than my standard sockets - the larger ones are for sure though. They could have shaved on another 2-3mm and still had enough to grab a bolt IMO - but IDK if you'd want to use them as impact sockets if that were the case. The way they are is well made, fine for impact, 17mm wrench fitting means you will be able to get them into spots you won't get a socket and wrench. But if you are looking for a super-stubby socket as a specialty tool, not sure this is for you.

This is my favorite socket set so far. I like the wide range of socket sizes it has. I use a 17mm Duralast combination wrench with it for extra torque. I will buy from Astro Tools again, as long as harbor freight doesn't copy them for cheaper.

Produto de qualidade. Agora vou testar a resistência para o trabalho.

Added them to my toolbox very happy very well made looking forward to putting them to the test

Genial pero cuidado son de 3/8

Favolose

sauber verarbeitet, die Steckschiene ist prima, alles macht einen guten Eindruck, sicher können die nicht hunderte von Nm ab, aber dafür sind sie auch nicht gemacht. In Verbindung mit eine 17er Ringratschenschlüssel bekommt man eine superflache Ratsche und erreicht so manche Stelle, an die man sonst schwer dran kommt. Preis/Leistung stimmt!
