Ball Joint Sockets Keep Breaking!!
592348
UPDATE 11/03-2017:(I had originally given this product a 5 star rating) I have bought 3 of these, the last one in October of 2016 and the ball joint socket has broken on 2 of the 3 to date. I really like this product, except it's not worth a damn when the magnetic holder won't stay attached to the ball joint on the arm! So IPOW what can you do to fix this issue?

I have had this for over a month now and have driven over every pothole I could stand and it has held in place. I have a LG4 which has a curved back cover. I attached the metal plate to my BodyGlove cover and it holds as promised! I would definitely recommend this product.

Great idea; questionable build / assembly quality.  First cube had only three out of four outlets functional; there was no way in insert a plug into the fourth one.  The cube was returned and a replacement sent out by Amazon.  Replacement unit has the same problem, with the same socket being broken.  Seems like an issue with assembly or construction.  Decided to keep the unit as it still is useful even with only there operational sockets.  Plus, there is no guarantee a replacement would work any better.

If you like your tools rusty, this is the perfect socket to buy!  I purchased this socket because of highly rated Amazon reviews. I was fooled.  This socket was sitting on a sealed concrete wall in my garage for 2 weeks after use, alongside multiple other tools. Two Campbell Hausfeld  sockets and 1 extension that has been sitting in a toolbox on my basement floor for 13 years, never had rust on them.  One Matco  3/8 inch allen socket which I have owned since 1995, always in a toolbox in the trunk of numerous cars, also was rust free. THANKS TO THE ARES SOCKET, ALL TOOLS ARE NOW RUSTED. Yes they can be cleaned with rust remover, but they will continue to rust! I also purchased a  29mm Ares socket a few days later, with a special thanks to Timken Bearings for putting the wrong size nut in their box from China. That wrong size nut did a excellent job tearing up the threads on a brand new $55 cv axle. The 29mm Ares socket has been in the basement  for 3 months alongside other tools, and I found specks of rust on it, so both sockets get 1 star from me.

I like them very much, however after I put them up I found one socket didn't work and its not the bulb. There is no easy way to fix it.
I put in in my second home in North Carolina and was leaving in the morning and didn't have time to take it down and return it.
  I will try to fix it when I return in September.

Sockets are fine and do the job but the bigger of the two ratchets is completely frozen. Very disappointed that it no longer 'switches' to tighten/loosen mode and does not actuate in any direction. Now I have to find a replacement for this ratchet. I have only used it twice before and I have owned this since March 2017.

They are junk !
They still break where they connect to the earpiece. I have bought this set and went through three of them already.

Review update: purchased this on May 9, 2018 installed and got an alignment. July 19, 2018 was told by Goodyear that ball joint was bad again. This product is junk.

I just received these and I'm happy with the quality of this socket set. The negative part about this item is the poorly designed case. Every time I go to shut it, a socket or two falls out. It does not hold them in.

I agree with Weed Warrior. I wasted $15 on this set - after buying it on Amazon to replace a like set picked up some years ago at a home supply store. Within a week or two, the ball bearing that holds the bits in place on the screwdriver handle fell out. As stated by Weed Warrior, the tool becomes almost unusable thereafter - as the bits fall out during use.  Unfortunately, I waited too long to be able to return this to Amazon for a refund. The reason I am giving this product only one star is... that the one I replaced also had the same problem, though in that case it took a couple of years for the ball bearing to fall out. This is clearly a permanent defect in this design. Worse, the price has now increased to $21. Stay away.

Installed 16 of these this weekend - 13 of those 16 are unusable, the threaded hole isn't square to the seat/top/sides.  pretty obvious when you're threading them on with a socket and extension and the extension wobbles 1+ inch as the nut rotates.  (and no, it's not my studs.  confirmed with correctly drilled nuts)

what this means for safety is that even if you torque these properly the seat contact is going to not be adequate (only part of the taper will contact the wheel, instead of the full taper seating properly.)

if I tried to remove or install these with an impact gun I'd be in for a world of fun as the gun jumps all around...

I'll be sending them off to the scrapper, sadly.

I replaced all four ball joints on my Dodge, less than 15,000 miles later these are shot and need replacing again! I have always had good luck with Moog parts in the past but obviously the quality has severely dropped. Warranty is only for 30 days so I should have known they were crap. I though the extra money for Moog over import was worth it, I was wrong I'll buy anything besides Moog in the future.

I am a professional installer and thought I would try to save a bit of money on these. I use a Klein Tools compression tool. 4 out of the first 5 broke when trying to compress them. It broke both the inner ring on the connector as well as the end ring. I was only successful in having 1 halfway work before giving up completely on these. I then went to home depot and picked up a pack of ideal BNC compression fittings and had no issue as usual. I can tell you, they are not worth the money.

Seller is emailing me asking for a review. Wasn't going to leave one so here it goes. Total garbage. First time I used these I broke two. Inside appears to be pot metal or something else of inferior quality. I've never had this bad of an experience with a allen socket. Do not buy!

plugs do not stay in sockets. constantly need to reinsert plug and reset whatever is plugged into them.

Absolutely terrible product. Will not release sockets without tearing up. This would only be good for Someone who will absolutely never use your tools. Cannot express how pissed I am that I wasted money on this product!!!

Standard metal lamp sockets never seem to fit together all that well.  The top and the bottom rarely connect properly to provide a secure fit.  They drive me nuts.  So, it is largely routine for me to replace the metal sockets with phenolic shell sockets.  The top screws on to the bottom and they seem a bit more sturdy after they're installed.  Enough said.

Bought these sockets and used them for 1 week several times a day, the 3/8 broke then the 1/2.
Cheaply made product
