Are these safe to use with an impact wrench?

Yes. They are made from chrome molybdenum steel, which is the standard material for impact-rated sockets, and the six-point design is built for high-torque use.

Is this set metric or SAE?

Metric only. If you also work on older or domestic SAE fasteners, you will need a separate SAE set.

What sizes are included?

The set covers 39 metric sockets on a 1/2-inch drive. Check the listed size range against the fasteners you work on most before buying.

Does it come with a case?

Yes, a blow-mold case with molded slots for each socket is included.

Are the sockets six-point or twelve-point?

Six-point. That gives more contact area and is the better choice for impact use, though twelve-point is handier on tight angles.

How does it compare with a budget impact socket set?

The main upgrades are the Cr-Mo steel and the large, ink-filled size markings. Budget sets often use plainer stamping that is harder to read in low light.
