Astro Tools 78314 14-Piece 3/8" Drive Low Profile Nano Impact Sockets - Metric

I recently added the Astro Tools 78314 14‑piece 3/8″ drive nano impact socket set to my toolbox, and I couldn’t be more impressed. These compact sockets pack remarkable power and versatility, delivering performance you’d expect from full-size sets—with a tiny footprint. 🔧 Why I love it: • Ultra‑low profile design: At just 0.88” (22.5 mm) long, they’re about 35% shorter than traditional shallow impact sockets and 15% shorter than other stubby nano options—perfect for tight engine bays and cramped spaces. • Rugged CR‑MO construction: Forged from chrome‑molybdenum steel with thicker walls than competitors, these feel robust enough for serious torque without cracking. • 17 mm outside hex feature: Makes it easy to turn with a wrench when a ratchet alone isn’t enough. • Professional-grade value: Comparable to bigger brands like Ko‑Ken at a much friendlier price—without sacrificing quality. 👍 Standout real-world results: • Got me into sub‑tight areas that used to require extensions or awkward angles—now, it’s a straight shot. • Handles high torque applications with zero deformation—haven’t had a single rounded stub. • All 14 sockets cover my typical metric needs, and the included aluminum holder keeps them secure and organized. ⸻ Bottom Line: If you’re a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast working in tight, torque-demanding areas, the Astro Tools 78314 nano impact socket set is a game-changer. It’s compact, tough, well-designed, and excellent value. Highly recommended!

Love the astro nano line. Working full time as an automotive technician these are a great tool to have in your box. Low profile for tight spaces and the pass through design of the sockets is great for removing nuts from studs without a deep socket or wrench. The swivel on the rachet are also very nice allowing even more maneuverability. The rachet itself has a great action and is smooth. Could be finer, but that sacrifices strength and these have held up to some serious torque. The sockets also have a standard drive socket on them as well and can be used with a standard rachet or on an extension which I have found extremely useful on multiple occasions due to the slim profile. Highly recommend!

I've used these for the last 7 months or so in a shop setting and I haven't broke one yet, they are good for tight spots but best if used with a 17mm ratcheting wrench of course. Worth the purchase forsure, I pick these up first when I need sockets for anything at work.

Very solid and very low profile sockets. Has laser etched sizing and logo as well as stamped sizing in very, very small stamping but very legible too once you find it. Also comes with very nice aluminum socket rail that holds the sockets great and releases them without fighting them off the rail. Rail is very smooth and you can move the sockets side to side with little, if any effort at all. Astro Pneumatic makes good tools for the price.

Great set of sockets. Perfect for getting into tight places. Well made and comes on a good rail to hold them all. Only thing better would be a magnetic rail with excellent grip!

Super low profile sockets from 6mm to 24mm with no skips. When used with an Astro ratchet, it is under 1" thick. Can be used with any 17mm wrench or 3/8 ratchet.

When paired with the Astro 783105 wrench these sockets are extremely easy to use in tight spots. Very good value, most of these sets from other tool truck brands would be hundreds of dollars. I’ve used these with impacts and electric ratchets and there have proven to be durable. Really good choice if you need to loosen a nut while holding the stud or if you just need a very low profile socket setup for a tight space.

They work fine on most applications. They are shallow depth but that’s the whole point to get them in tight spots. Is prefer to find some 12 points vice 6 but in a jam they did the job.

Produto de qualidade. Agora vou testar a resistência para o trabalho.

Added them to my toolbox very happy very well made looking forward to putting them to the test

These sockets are a must have if you do any kind of automotive work. If you have an exotic or any import, these are a must have. These bailed me out on several projects where I'd be otherwise be in big trouble. As for quality - nothing will beat these. Astro is as good as it gets.

Genial pero cuidado son de 3/8

Good quality and small enough to fit inside small spaces where tradition sockets wont go. This is my first purchase from Astro tool and I am really impressed with the product so far.
