Chrome Socket Set
How strong are chrome vanadium tools i.e. wrenches?
I was looking at a tool set for sale online consisting of a screwdriver set, socket set, wrench set and plier set. Will chrome vanadium tools hold up to heavy use or they meant for light occassional use?
Any tool is only as good as the company that sold it to you. The cheapest garbage usually has “Chrome Vanadium” stamped into it, because it sounds impressive, looks like a brand name, and saves the manufacturer from attaching their name to a substandard product. This saves them the headaches of dealing with warranty issues. If you want good tools, like others have said, go with name brand, and ask about the warranty. Decent tools have an over-the-counter replacement warranty (no sales slip required – who keeps those, or is able to find it when you break a tool?) provided the tool isn’t simply worn out or been subjected to misuse. Good brand names include, but are not limited to Snap On, Blue Point, Mac, Bonny, Sioux, Sears, Proto, Westward, Gray, etc. If you have a habit of losing tools, or are only using them for light duty work and you don’t depend on your tools, then the chrome vanadium wrenches will fill your needs nicely without costing you a fortune. Bear in mind that cheap tools used in severe applications will fail and ruin fasteners, leaving you worse off than ever.
