TL;DR A 42-piece 3/8-in drive impact socket set · 40 Cr-Mo sockets (16 SAE: 5/16·3/4 in, 24 metric: 8·19 mm), shallow and deep, 6-point, ANSI B107 confirmed, 10 mm present. Impact-rated (Cr-Mo + black oxide); 3/8-in drive only.
A 42-piece 3/8-in drive set covering 40 sockets · 16 SAE (5/16·3/4 in, shallow and deep) and 24 metric (8·19 mm, shallow and deep) · plus a 3-in extension and universal joint. The 10 mm metric is confirmed present from the manufacturer size range, with no missing-10mm complaints documented by owners. All sockets are chrome-molybdenum steel with black-oxide finish in 6-point geometry. No 1/4-in or 1/2-in drive included. Impact-rated: Cr-Mo alloy and black-oxide finish are confirmed from manufacturer spec and listing bullets. Highly rated on Amazon by a large owner base, with no rounding complaints documented by owners.
The right pick for a home mechanic doing oil changes, brake jobs, and engine-bay electrical work with an impact wrench · the 3/8-in drive covers the dominant fastener range for those tasks, and the 6-point Cr-Mo construction handles both hand-ratchet and impact driver use correctly. The ANSI B107 compliance and zero-rounding-complaint community profile make this a solid first-set or shop-drawer addition. Skip if 1/2-in drive is needed for wheel lug nuts or larger suspension fasteners · the 3342 tops out at 3/8-in, and those applications require a dedicated 1/2-in impact socket set. Also skip if the task is 1/4-in drive fastener work (interior trim, small engine sensors) · the 3342 does not include 1/4-in sockets.
No chemical exposure pathway · chrome-molybdenum steel hand tool with no SDS. The 3342 is impact-rated (Cr-Mo alloy and black-oxide finish); standard chrome-vanadium hand sockets · a different construction · are not rated for impact wrenches and can shatter under impact driver impulse loads. Cr-Mo steel is fully recyclable as scrap metal at end of life; the blow-mold plastic case is not routinely recovered through curbside programs. Black-oxide finish has no chrome plating to flake during normal use.
Yes · the 3342 is built from chrome-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel with a black-oxide finish, which is the standard construction for impact-rated sockets. Cr-Mo alloy is tougher than the chrome-vanadium (Cr-V) steel used in hand-only sockets and is designed to absorb the rapid shock loading of an impact driver without shattering. Standard Cr-V hand sockets should not be used on impact wrenches; the 3342 is the correct tool for that application.
Yes · the metric range is 8 mm through 19 mm in both shallow and deep variants, which necessarily includes 10 mm. The 10 mm is confirmed present from the manufacturer's size specification, with no missing-10mm complaints documented by owners.
The 3342 is a 3/8-inch drive set only. It does not include 1/4-in or 1/2-in drive sockets. The 3/8-in drive covers the majority of fasteners encountered in oil changes, brake jobs, and engine-bay electrical work. For wheel lug nuts and larger suspension fasteners, a 1/2-in drive socket set is required.
All sockets in the 3342 are 6-point. The 6-point geometry contacts fastener flat faces rather than corners, which reduces the risk of rounding fasteners · particularly corroded or previously tightened OEM bolts. No rounding complaints are documented by owners.
40 sockets: 16 SAE (5/16 in through 3/4 in, in shallow and deep variants) and 24 metric (8 mm through 19 mm, in shallow and deep variants). The remaining 2 pieces are a 3-in extension bar and a universal joint. The advertised 42-piece count is accurate · 40 sockets plus 2 accessories.
