Sealy ones in an orange case. 10-32mm
Had them 15 years doing vans and hgvs, not broken a socket yet!
Around £40
I like the sound of them.

They're just standard sockets, nothing flash or fancy, they've outlasted Mac and snap on ones....
I will have a google later for them when I get in.

Same set here. They've been rattled senseless on our Milwaukee and hammered onto many a rusty nut and they're still good as new. The box is quite sturdy too.

I’ve got lots of sealey tools,the reason being I’d not be too bothered if they were stolen but have to say they are all first class including a set of impact sockets which have had lots of abuse but still good.

I have the same set, have taken all the abuse my Milwaukee brushless rattle gun has given them and no failures yet.
Recommend!
The case is still good though the catches are goosed, bungee cord round the box to hold lid down now.
Given Sealey tools a new found respect about here.

Another vote for the Sealey set, mine have survived a lot of abuse.

I think all impact sockets are pretty much of a muchness, as they are not brittle and I guess a little ductile (and usually a single hex) they would not fail, I guess, probably more important to get a range of sizes and I got a deep set, which I think was more useful
We recently got a set of sockets from http://www.impactsocket.co.uk/ , covers a good range of sizes in one kit and very helpfull , placed a telephone order

The ak5634 sealey set is 10 to 32mm standard and deep in all sizes and a solid case. Looks a better buy than two separate sets

Get a set with proper stamped in sizes, laser etched is a pain as it soon wears off. On tge other hand, I put sizes in with a die grinder, adapt overcome.
