VACOVAC1071 Impact Driver, 7-in-1 Metric Multi-Bit Impact Flip Socket Set with Handle, Magnetic, 6 Hex Sizes and 1/4-Inch Bit Holder

I bought this tool because it was cheaper than what Klein was offering. The feel and quality of the tool is comparable to Klein for $10 less. The tool feels sturdy in the hand and in an impact drill. The only negative thing I have to say at this time is that the 1/4'' drive is a little loose in the handle and could be a slight tolerance from manufacturer. I will update in the future if I somehow end up breaking it.

Love thisI've been looking for a metric nutdrive for so long!!!So glad somebody FINALLY made one.Great value Greta quality!!! Thanks a ton!!

Fortunately in one review it is mentioned that once you pull the stem from the handle the top ring has to be depressed to attach it again. Nice handy tool.

This is like a whole set of nut drivers in one. Or is it?The answer is both yes and no.Yes you have 6 nut driver sizes in the space of one tool, but no it's not JUST like having all 6 of those nut drivers.There is some play in the shaft in the handle so the shaft wobbles a bit. The clearance for a nut or bolt head is small/shallow - especially for the 1/4" size (see photo). If you try and turn a nut with some height (e.g., nylon lock nut) with that, I doubt the socket would engage with the flats. You can slide the socket to the bit driver position (the 1/4" is the only socket that can stop in two different positions) to make that happen, but you will have to be careful not to push too hard or the socket will slide back to the more shallow depth.With that out of the way, this tool appears to be functional and a way to have access to several nut driver sizes in a small space, so it would be great for keeping in a tool bag. I like it a lot for that use.There is configuration flexibility. You can slide the shaft into the handle and make a stubby driver out of it.The description mentions use in an impact. I wouldn't do that - at least not in any application where the impact is actually hammering. The shaft necks down at multiple points and if you break that, the whole tool is broken. The sockets look like they might be up to the task, but they each have a spring around their midsection that stops the sockets on the shaft at those neck down points. Break one of those and the socket won't stay in a storage spot anymore. There are better tools for impacts. I suppose if you just have to you could.So a lot of that sounds negative, but overall I like this tool. I just wanted to point out the drawbacks as I see them. Get one and keep it somewhere convenient so you don't have to go grab the whole set of nut drivers.

I'm very satisfied

This thing is made well. I am pleasantly surprised. The only thing I would change is to have a smaller handle, but it’s hardly worth mentioning.Great tool for the price.

De muy buena calidad...nada q envidiarle al d la marca klein tools...

Been using Vaco tools for over 30 years and have been my best kept secret weapon on all my jobs. Like the quality and easy of use. This does not disappoint, works well and half the price of Klein equivalent.

Good quality tool

Perfect for only taking up a small amount of space instead of multiple nut drivers and impact bits. Wish it was color coded and a bit less rattly but that is just a nitpick.

This is a very useful tool that saves time on any job you are doing on nut fixing.

Mst of the tools I ownare a german name brand and for some reason they do not sell a meteric version of this tool. So I took a shot and the tool works with what I own. Vaco is a brand I have owned since I started in the working world back 45 years ago and is still a great tool. For those who need this information, yes it fits in an inpack driver so yes the handle it comes with in my world is useless. But I bought it for the buisness end and it works great.

This set was purchased after seeing youtuber @MORGANSMaintenance's tool review. It complements Klein's 7 in 1 flip socket sets and is one of the most requested (Metric) releases. The shaft and bit designs are identical except for the obvious change to metric sizes. Another issue other people commented on regarding the Klein 7 in 1 flip is how its easy to catch and knock off the socket when its at the working end.This can be rectified by using a larger socket and putting it behind so it fits 'Over' the smaller one.So if you are using the smallest 7mm bit at the head, you would put the 13mm underneath it so it fits over the 8mm and a bonus is that the 10mm can also fit inside the 14mm giving you a shorter configuration than normal (see pictures).Another useful configuration is storing all the bits in 'reverse' so the shaft would store 13mm-14mm, followed by 10mm-12mm (where the 10mm fits inside 14mm) and lastly 7mm-8mm (where 7mm fits inside 12mm). In this configuration you could add the Klein 1/4-5/16 as the head and have the 1/4" as a better fitting bit holder too.Klein & Vaco should use these tricks to make even better designs that allow for more compact storage or more sockets :)If you liked Klein's 7 in 1 flip socket range, then this is a perfect complement to cover your metric needs.
