Astro Pneumatic Tool 410 - Uv Glowing 10mm Sockets 1/4" & 3/8" Drive - 4Piece

Great to take to a rave

This is a really nice 4-piece set of 10mm sockets, in 3/8" drive (short and deep) and 1/4" drive (short and deep). Beautiful polished chrome finish, chrome vanadium, and appears made with quality. I have several 365 nm UV lights, that produce a 'truer' UV than the more common 390 nm UV lights, and tested the sockets in a pitch black room. I observed no UV glow from the yellow paint markings on the sockets, or the sockets themselves, so even tho I believe that part is mainly a gimmick (or perhaps I received some with lack of UV glow material), I'm still very satisfied with the socket set.

Good quality sockets but they never glow even after shining a strong flashlight at them for 5 minutes.

Just having a selection of four different types of 10mm socket is enough, but the added novelty (and utility) of the UV markings just makes it great. (Someone posted a photo of them online, and I laughed - until I found out it was a real thing. Had to have it, bought the 4x10mm immediately.) Good customer service, too - one of the sockets wasn't glowing, and after I emailed them they sent me a replacement right away.

I buy this set once a year because 10mm tend to just walk off on their own

Chances are a 10mm socket is one of the first to get lost, followed by an 8 or 13mm. Single sockets are hard to find in even these commonly used sizes and costly relative to the price of a set. This was a real find and the glow in the dark feature is unusual, but could come in handy.
