Review: Worked with impact, did not break - I purchased this and the snap on version just in case. Was very difficult to break loose with a breaker bar so out came the Dewalt 1/2 electric impact. I beat on this socket with the impact and the ring came right off. The socket withstood both removal and installation of the new ring. Not sure how people broke the pins. The pins did not break. Honestly, for the price, if i had to buy a new one for every set of bearings I did with these 4-pin rings I would. This socket took a beating and is still functional. Will buy again if i ever needed a fresh one.
Review: Works well & cheaper than tool trucks - LOT'S cheaper than the blue & white tool truck and absolutely better quality. The tool truck socket broke using with a hand ratchet, the replacement one came in with a bent/broken tab. desertcart socket was perfect and worked perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well & cheaper than tool trucks
*by J***O on July 19, 2025*

LOT'S cheaper than the blue & white tool truck and absolutely better quality. The tool truck socket broke using with a hand ratchet, the replacement one came in with a bent/broken tab. Amazon socket was perfect and worked perfect.

### ⭐ Falls apart
*by J***R on March 20, 2026*

Dowel pins fell out of the socket within seconds of first use. Bought this to do the job right and still had to use an air hammer to remove the nuts. Don't buy this especially if you plan on using it more than once.
