(i have twisted a block joint before while it was cheap)the 1/4 i haven't used yet, but it seems to be build well and is small enough to fit in my  DEWALT DW2190 Heavy Duty Medium Tough Case Things to improve:1. the packaging, first time i ordered only received 2 of 3, with amazon's help i got a free replacement with free shipping (Thanks Live Chat). the replacement came with everything, but the plastic holding the sockets together was broken even though it was packaged nicely (Joints were fine) but was a little telling on how the first was received missing one.2. the websitetried to register (as if i brake them i would like to be able to get a replacement) website was broken, i am currently a few emails deep with someone from ares about the website and the few issues I have had and they seem to be fixing it as we go so it should be some what decent in the future.3. warranty clarificationasked about the warranty and they said to send them a picture of the problem and they will send a replacement, but would also like to know about the length of the warranty and it actually posted on their website somewhere. hoping it is a lifetime warranty as most places have those.ps. i did look at O'Reilly Auto Parts which did have a 1/4" (the hardest to find) but the other joints they had were goofy and turn in to extensions instead of swivel, then if you put a lot of force it will pop out and turn to a swivel, but i did not like it. also was more expensive then the set here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Starting off with a 5 star *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023* I'll start off saying the box these come in is extremely solid compared to other tools almost a shame I'm not going to use it because I'm putting these in my roll cart that needs as much room as possible. I really bought these for the swivel & wobbles. If I was comparing these to my co-workers ultra expensive tool truck versions I'd say these are of equal quality. Note: I don't plan on using the swivels on my big impacts nor should you with any brand so anyone breaking these are using them wrong in my opinion. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good for a few uses, cheap price. *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020* These are okay for a DIYer or someone who doesnt use these often but for Pros, I'd recommend you look ELSEWHERE.The good: Price- I think they were like $15 for 3 sockets (1/4,3/8,1/2)Build quality- they are decent, and haven't broken from use yetThe Con(s):Material- feels like cheap metal but for the price it's to be expected.Durability- even with my light use of them (6times using the 1/4, 4times using 1/2), the female side of sockets are showing wear, which usually only occur after heavy use of a socket. So they probably wear 2-3times faster than normal. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/44532199-70072-1-2-inch-drive-impact-universal-joint](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/44532199-70072-1-2-inch-drive-impact-universal-joint) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-11-15*
