You might check how many other tool mfg. offer 3 piece impact universal.
I don't think there are many.


Mmm... the 3 piece in the link title is because it is for a set
containing 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch Universals. The 2 piece set contains

"universal" action. Not sure if you understood that or not...

I've looked at the one in question while at the sto

I have a short-socket set made by Mac Tools which is that style, and
I've used them for 35 years. Fear not.
