This is a beautiful set of sockets. Really after all this time someone , Husky, has made a socket that is easy to read the size and looks new and clean all the time. Actually the feature of knurl grip is nice as these small sockets can be hard to grab but this makes it nice. The socket is a matte black and with the gold lettering I can find and grab the socket I need right away. It’s great. Thanks

Unusual to buy one socket, I have done it before. It is convenient to be able to buy just one if you have lost one. I like the finish, I like the rough knurls to grip the socket. I’m retired now but when I worked my employer supplied Husky tools and I never had them fail and I used to use them hard. Good to know these have a lifetime guarantee. The multiple gripping points allow the ratchet to start in tight places.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve reached down into my engine bay, wedging my hand into an impossibly tight spot trying to hand turn a bolt enough that I only need to do the final tightening with a wrench. Invariably, the bolt is too awkward to get my fingers around or my hands are too oily to get a grip on a socket. The idea of a knurled socket is fantastic! Now, I can place the socket and just hand spin it down to where I have enough room for a wrench or until I can’t hand spin it anymore. Hand spinning the socket is ALWAYS faster than using a wrench. These sockets will save you time and help get you out of some tight spots. My only complaint is that the knurling isn’t really deep enough to get a good tight grip. I’d recommend deeper knurling and to extend the knurl all the way to the socket’s edge. My calloused fingers can handle it and I could then tighten that bolt by hand down pretty darn far!

The main thing you need to know when buying a socket is how well the nut will fit into it. The Husky sockets have a very snug fit, providing good contact with the nut, and reducing the chance of slipping. These are 12 point sockets, which allows for easier or quicker contact with the nut. As an added bonus, the knurl grip is a great addition as you know if you have oily fingers and are trying to turn the socket by hand. Another plus for me is the large, laser etched numbering, which is extremely easy to read. And of course, they are guaranteed forever, and Home Depot has always stood behind the Husky line.

Great little socket. Grips well and flexible enough for multiple uses. The knurled grip makes it easy to spin.manually. It has a nice black matte finish with the size written on it in white lettering that is large enough to read without my glasses. One note of caution in that it is NOT recommended for impact drivers, but other than that, it will be very useful.

Alright… I admit that these aren’t Snap On or MAC Tool sockets but they are a HUGH step up from Craftsman! The Black Chrome Finish is awesome! I like that they have a knurled edge on them to help in tight spots. The labeling for both sets (SAE & Metric) were canted off center by 45 degrees or so. This was the only flaw I found. My Professional Tools are all dead on where the labeling of size is concerned. These fit multiple style heads & I found them to be more helpful than my specialized professional tool sockets. The Price between Professional & Everyday Joe Tools… Just say I bought a Top Tool Chest with the money I saved. (Maybe that was Home Depot’s Plan all along… Hmmmm…) The Husky Tool line is outstanding & are quality units without breaking the Bank. Perfect for Home Garage or Home Work Shop!

I was in a rush to get a short 19mm socket to complete a car repair, and was surprised to see the knurled grip when I got home. I never had one before, and the knurled grip is so much more versatile than the regular 6-sided sockets. It saved my butt my gripping the belt tensioner on my car perfectly, while I was applying almost all my body weight (a lot) on this socket and matching Husky ratchet. Thanks for making a good product.

Never owned a set of knurl grip sockets, but will be purchasing a full set soon. This 1/2″ socket grips bolt heads very well and gives you the flexibility of heads that may have some previous damage. The socket is well made and heavy duty for all kind of work. For a mechanic of any kind this is must. The size being etched on the side is Win! makes it very easy to find the socket you need

RE: Husky 3/8 in. Drive 1/2 in. Knurl Grip Universal SocketA great quality socket from Husky. The black finish easily wipes clean. This is a handy socket to have in the tool box. I have several sizes and always need one for one project or another. I haven’t applied these toward any super heavy duty use, but work well for the average household and mechanic use.

The Husky Universal Grip Socket is well-made, like most Husky products, and covered by the Guaranteed Forever warranty. This socket is 3/8 inch drive and fits ½ inch fasteners. A universal grip socket works on 6-point, 12-point, square, spline, E-Torx and partially rounded hex fasteners. This has a knurled grip for easy finger spinning. Note that while this item is black, it is not impact grade. In short, a nice tool at a good price.

Excellent socket for the home garage or in my case, my emergency bag. As picking a 6 or 12 point socket for most applications in a task, this knurled socket takes that away. It grabs the nut or bolt wherever there is an angle and turns. I don’t know if I would use this for very high torque but it does a fantastic job for most ratchet tasks. Good coating on the socket will prevent rusting for some time. I like the etching and matte appearance. Looks nice and works well.

These Husky Sockets are a great addition to my or any toolbox. The unique design fits many different fasteners, making them very versatile. The tapered knurled design facilitates spinning by hand. They have a great looking black finish, and the markings are laser etched for easy visibility. Like all Husky tools, they are covered by a lifetime guarantee, a great feature. I recently had to remove a square nut, (see picture) and these sockets worked perfectly!

9/16 inch Knurl Grip Universal Socket with 3/8 drive. This socket is designed for impact wrenches which the 3/8 inch drive socket is designed for. With the new impact torque wrenches that now are in allot of drills and wireless tools available along with the old standard air tools. The hardened metal socket has a good profile for tight places a deep ridge socket for easy bolt application and grip. The knurled rim is great for starting or finishing removal by hand . One of the things I like is the printed size marker for easy identification. Though I’m wondering if it will be worn off by friction with lots of use. This product is also guaranteed Forever by Husky. huskytools.com.

This socket is a great addition to my toolbox. It will handle many more types of bolts then a standard socket. This means I don’t need as many tools in my take-with tool box. That is a big plus.The socket is well made, and looks good with the black coating and gold size. It makes the size stand out,. The knurl grip makes it fairly easy to use without a rachet. It also helps distinguish it from my inpact sockets at a glance. Handy when putting tools away after using both.

This set of 3/8 drive black sockets provide a better idea twist to the typical chrome socket sets. One of the advantages is the distinctive size markings that make it easier to identify a dark color socket, which could be more colorful. The second bright idea is the knurl groves that make it easier to grasp and rotate the round socket if the sockets get oily or greasy. This complete standard and metric socket set is a tool set that most home owners will find very useful.
