BILITOOLS 50-Piece Shock Absorber Strut Nut Socket Set, Pass-Thru Ratchet

I have more expensive Schwaben strut socket kits, but I needed a 14mm strut socket and a 5.2mm oblate female counter-holding socket for rear struts on a 2006 Nissan Sentra, and this kit was just the ticket. My expectations are usually not high for non-Taiwanese chinesium tools, but I was very pleasantly surprised with this good-looking Bilitools kit. It's a heavy kit for its size! While the pass-thru ratchet is not as tight and smooth as the one in my Schwaben kit, it works just fine for loosening and tightening struts while they are on my Branick 7600 strut machine. It allowed for easy removal of the strut nut on the old OE Nissan strut cartridge, and easy installation of the new KYB 341279 strut cartridge. This kit has everything most people need for working on foreign and domestic struts, at a decent price just under $100. I never use impact tools when working on struts, so I can't comment on how well it would hold up under impact usage (which I am pretty sure it is not designed for).

This was purchased for my son, it amazingly arrived at 5 am and he was able to use it at work. Worked perfectly, sturdy tool set and just what he needed.

This is a great kit. It has everything you need to unscrew the top retainer nut on struts. For the times you can just zip the nut off with an air gun because the shaft is spinning, this kit has every possible type of bit for holding the shaft while turning the nut off, or on

Complete and ideal, except that there is no provision for using a torque wrench. This could be solved easily by adding a 1/2" square hole for the torque wrench in the handle of the ratchet handle close to the ratchet mechanism. I would give the kit 5 stars except for this. I use a crowsfoot wrench instead, as shown in the attached drawing.

must have tool for replacing shocks on 2023+ gmc canyon and chevy colorado. the 8mm flat works perfectly for putting fwd/awd GM vehicles into neutral without the use of the special holding tool

Only time will tell how well these tools hold up, but first impression is that it's a great quaity set and has the correct sizes for nearly every shock and strut jub.

Muy bueno

Box and tools are decent quality. Does cover the job.

This is a versatile tool, not only for struts and shocks also works for sway bar links. Highly recommended

Excellent kit for your strut job
