00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.261
Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.261 --> 00:00:04.693
Freedom. This is my VEVOR S A

00:00:04.693 --> 00:00:07.062
E and metric impact socket set.

00:00:07.083 --> 00:00:09.131
I used it constantly for socket work

00:00:09.131 --> 00:00:11.093
on my van. The sockets and ratchet

00:00:11.093 --> 00:00:12.714
felt strong and gave me plenty of

00:00:12.714 --> 00:00:13.654
use for the money,

00:00:13.739 --> 00:00:15.424
but rain and travelling with the case

00:00:15.445 --> 00:00:17.445
brought two recurring annoyances.

00:00:17.694 --> 00:00:19.913
The matching product picture shows the sockets,

00:00:19.913 --> 00:00:22.623
ratchet and accessories in the carrying case.

00:00:22.857 --> 00:00:25.630
VEVOR identifies this as a sixty-five-piece,

00:00:25.630 --> 00:00:29.206
half-inch-drive set, with deep and standard sockets.

00:00:29.325 --> 00:00:31.202
S A E and metric describe the

00:00:31.202 --> 00:00:34.487
fastener-size coverage, while half-inch drive describes the

00:00:34.487 --> 00:00:36.493
tool connection. Those are different parts of

00:00:36.493 --> 00:00:39.053
the setup. The sockets and ratchet felt

00:00:39.053 --> 00:00:40.247
strong in my use,

00:00:40.247 --> 00:00:41.877
and the kit was good value.

00:00:42.054 --> 00:00:43.804
I used it constantly on the socket

00:00:43.804 --> 00:00:44.892
work around the van.

00:00:44.956 --> 00:00:46.961
A deep socket has more reach around

00:00:46.961 --> 00:00:49.436
a projecting stud, while a standard socket

00:00:49.436 --> 00:00:51.858
occupies less space above the fastener.

00:00:52.017 --> 00:00:54.364
The diagram compares those shapes without assigning

00:00:54.364 --> 00:00:56.582
an unrecorded size to a particular van

00:00:56.582 --> 00:00:58.588
bolt. The set got rained on several

00:00:58.588 --> 00:01:00.444
times while I was working and travelling.

00:01:00.508 --> 00:01:03.056
Rust became a recurring problem afterward.

00:01:03.172 --> 00:01:05.434
Everything still worked, even when rusty.

00:01:05.475 --> 00:01:06.755
Rust remover cleaned it up,

00:01:06.755 --> 00:01:08.057
but also stripped the paint.

00:01:08.163 --> 00:01:09.828
That is part of my actual experience

00:01:09.828 --> 00:01:11.662
with this kit, alongside the amount of

00:01:11.662 --> 00:01:12.851
use I got from it.

00:01:12.929 --> 00:01:15.318
My roof-equipment photographs show the broader assembly

00:01:15.318 --> 00:01:17.793
work, including a grouped wire connection and

00:01:17.793 --> 00:01:20.375
the larger enclosure during cable-entry work.

00:01:20.524 --> 00:01:21.974
They put the socket purchase in the

00:01:21.974 --> 00:01:25.019
wider roof project. The workshop footage illustrates

00:01:25.019 --> 00:01:26.791
measuring and holding work.

00:01:26.854 --> 00:01:28.859
These build stages involved different tools and

00:01:28.859 --> 00:01:31.143
connections as the sections came together.

00:01:31.249 --> 00:01:33.436
The case was my other annoyance.

00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:34.811
The kit got knocked around in the

00:01:34.811 --> 00:01:36.689
trailer, and the sockets did not stay

00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:37.948
in their individual slots.

00:01:37.969 --> 00:01:39.760
I often had to reorganize them each

00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:40.873
time I opened it.

00:01:41.004 --> 00:01:42.326
That was a drawback of carrying it

00:01:42.326 --> 00:01:43.734
on the road rather than keeping it

00:01:43.734 --> 00:01:47.042
stationary. The diagram follows stored pieces,

00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:49.765
movement during travel and sorting them again.

00:01:49.906 --> 00:01:51.570
The alternatives on my page are the

00:01:51.570 --> 00:01:54.940
TEKTON S I D ninety-two-thousand-six set and

00:01:54.940 --> 00:01:56.989
the SUNEX thirty-five-eighty set.

00:01:57.074 --> 00:01:59.613
TEKTON uses a half-inch drive with shallow

00:01:59.634 --> 00:02:01.031
S A E sockets.

00:02:01.148 --> 00:02:04.156
SUNEX uses a three-eighths-inch drive and includes

00:02:04.177 --> 00:02:06.247
S A E and metric sizes.

00:02:06.353 --> 00:02:07.868
These are researched alternatives.

00:02:07.974 --> 00:02:09.809
Their matching pictures keep drive size,

00:02:09.809 --> 00:02:11.985
coverage and case format separate from my

00:02:11.985 --> 00:02:14.297
VEVOR experience. Thanks for watching.

00:02:14.473 --> 00:02:16.693
I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom.

00:02:16.735 --> 00:02:19.039
We covered my VEVOR socket set: strong

00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:20.319
tools and good value,

00:02:20.404 --> 00:02:22.026
recurring rust after rain,

00:02:22.068 --> 00:02:23.914
and loose sockets during travel.

00:02:24.095 --> 00:02:26.037

Until next time.
