Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent mid priced A/F impact socket sets ? (its only for home use)

On E-bay I can only see cheap (US pro etc) sets around £30 or expensive Teng sets at £150, nothing in between.

I've just ordered up a Sealey Premier metric set at £60 which I consider mid priced and has a lifetime warranty.

Cheers

Clarke or Draper are ok for home use, I got a few bits in their line for stuff I dont use much like Torx, Spline etc

I dont think I've got any AF impacts, that's not to say i've not used them on an impact gun tho wink

Are they for a 3/8 or 1/2 fitting ?

I have these:

Both have had a fair bit of use and no faults at all so far despite the perceived 'cheapness' of them.

I bought some AF impact sockets made by ISS from these people.

I just bought them loose, in the sizes I needed, as I don’t think they do sets. They seem to be pretty much indestructible.

You'll be fine with the US PRO stuff OP
It's reasonable enough quality and will survive what you need it for.
