ZKTOOL 5PCS Suspension Strut Nut Socket Set 18MM 19MM 21MM 22MM 24MM, Suspension Nut Socket Set, Shock Absorber Strut Nut Removal Tool, VM #:3353

Made releasing the shock bolts so much easier, good quality, will definitely get some more when needed. Would recommend to anyone tackling changing shock absorbers.

Does what it says. Easy to use. Great value for money. Used today to put 2 struts together and it’s still in one piece.

Decent

Required for a couple of jobs if you service/repair your own BMW, much cheaper than the OEM version!

Served its purpose. Wasn’t overly impressed with the quality but got the job done nonetheless the less

Brilliant tool

The sockets I received came loose in a box. Upon inspecting the sockets there is a noticeable bend in the open section of the sockets meaning the socket is not straight. So for example using this in a confined space such as a top mount for a MacPherson strut is impossible where a conventional socket would fit. Some of the sockets also had a flat edge to them so can't even be used on a bolt. This is likely due to the poor quality manufacturing and lack of quality control. The surface finish is also terrible. Overall some of the worst sockets I have ever seen and there are much cheaper options that offer higher quality sockets for a much lower cost.

As a weekend warrior who likes to tinker with my car, I was excited to get my hands on the ZKTOOL 5PCS Suspension Strut Nut Socket Set. This little kit promised to make strut work a breeze - but did it deliver? Let's roll up our sleeves and find out! 🔧First, the positives: This set is impressively comprehensive. With five sizes (18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, and 24mm), it covers most popular vehicles. I appreciate not having to buy multiple tools for different cars. The CRV 40bV30 material feels solid and durable - no worries about these sockets giving up mid-job. 💪The cut-away design is clever, allowing for a 90° hex key to hold the strut while tightening. It's a small touch that makes a big difference when you're working in tight spaces under a car.However, it's not all smooth riding. While the sockets can withstand over 70 ft-lbs of torque, I found myself wishing for a bit more capacity on some stubborn nuts. It's not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of for heavy-duty jobs. 🔩One unexpected quirk: the finish on the sockets, while functional, isn't the prettiest. They'll do the job, but don't expect them to win any beauty contests in your toolbox.The lack of an included hex key is a minor annoyance. It's not a big deal if you've got a well-stocked garage, but newcomers might be caught off guard. 🔑In terms of value, I'd say this set hits the mark. It's not the cheapest option out there, but the range of sizes and decent build quality justify the price for me.Overall, the ZKTOOL Suspension Strut Nut Socket Set is a solid choice for DIY mechanics and weekend tinkerers. It's not perfect, but it's become a reliable part of my automotive toolkit. If you're looking to tackle strut work without breaking the bank (or your knuckles), this set might just be the socket to your needs! 🚗💨
