Harbor Freight Quinn Stubby 1/2" & 22mm Hex Drive Impact Socket Review 

These are all made by Tien-I, a company in Taiwan that manufacturers tools for different brands. These are identical to the Husky, Ares and Astro versions. Harbor Freight is close to half the price of the Astro Pneumatic set and the exact same product. Plus you get the advantage of the easy warranty process at HF if need be.

Great vid Catus, These sockets used in conjunction with a ratcheting flex head box or dbl box end wrench like the atm or tekton is nice for many occasions and Regarding using them with conventional ratcheting wrenches, I used to stick paper in there to hold it in place as well however the absolute best method is using either one of those plastic socket rail clips/holders, just put the clip into the socket like on a socket rail but you have the 22mm or whatever size wrench in the middle but even better is the Gearwrench quick release drive tool adapter part number EHT9230 …..then you have it on a quick release too which is nice 👍🏻

I like the rail over the foam. Foam takes up too much space in the drawer.

Great review, again, thanks! Helpful to learn about these HF stubbys. My experience, limited for sure, with stubbys is they don't have enough metal to really torque them (your "splitting" is absolutely correct). I use mostly deep socket for most jobs because they host so much more alloy, C-V, etc.

I actually have a both sets of the stubby sockets from Quinn. Nice and a lifetime warranty to boot. I highly recommend.

Good review Catus I would definitely buy those.

Right tool for the right job .

Great Vid. I just purchased these in metric and sae. It would be nice if HF would sell a singular 22mm extra long box and flex ratcheting box on other side for these. I purchased one from a competitor. This makes them super handy and low profile. Similar to there 200 plus dollar Icon 7:00 xl offset ratcheting box wrench set. So for less than 125 bucks I managed to put together a great low profile option for toolbox in metric and sae.

I'm fond of the Astros and would pay more to have them on a nice rail. Being able to put a wrench on them really saved me one time. The only drawback is that less mass gives less impact, so I've had to go to a heavier socket to break things loose before.

I don't generally need that big of sockets and prefer a set with 3/8 drive and for a ratchet with the hex that is low profile is the astro i think that is 17mm or 19mm i together but id prefer not trying to really reef on a like 1/8 thick worth of a ratcheting wrench

Hello again, Catus Maximus and Tiny Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Question for you. These sockets could be used in a Box End Wrench. What size would be needed to make it work. If you mention the size I didn't hear it. Or will they just fall out? The reason I am asking, is I need to work with SAE tools and if possible find it in 12-point. I enjoyed watching the video. Again thank you 👍

They need to release the 3/8th version, hopefully the 6-24mm variant aswell.

Appreciate you and love your videos!

Thanks for posting, I didn't realize thses were available. Any feedback on the Capri warranty dept? Are they easy to deal with?

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

✌️😂 S.O.B. (Harbor Freight) It was only a couple of years ago these Nano Sockets came out.🤦 Hey Cat can you do a review on the forward direction wire cutters from ICON....I got one of them and have not been able to use it yet....Snap-On introduce them about a year ago then Harbor Freight put it in the ICON section.....✌️out From K.W.
