Cheaper than a set of Irwins, but not quite so comprehensive.

Have only used the 12mm so far, but removed a horribly rounded bolt from a Civic brake caliper with no fuss whatsoever, was just like undoing a fresh new bolt.

Can only give this 5/5 for performance and value, I should imagine it will be extremely useful in the long run.

PurchaaaAAAAAaaased!

Please note for anyone viewing, these are 3/8" drive, so generally won't work with most impact guns - which are usually 1/2" - without an impact-spec adaptor.

Though frankly if the bolt head is that bad, I can't help but think using an actual impact driver might be a bad idea. Might be better to just gradually lean on the bolt with a socket driver instead.

I have bought and used the 1/2 inch drive US Pro set. I was expecting failure but I hammered it onto a couple of damaged bolt heads and they did the trick.
I‘m surprised kit at this price point has withstood the abuse I’ve given it.
