1 / 6MIXPOWER MT266 19-Piece 1/4-Inch Drive Universal Joint Socket Set
MIXPOWER MT266 is a 19-piece 1/4-inch-drive universal joint socket set with six-point SAE and metric sizes. Its swivelling heads are designed to help reach fasteners at an angle, while customer feedback also flags a concern about pins falling out.
At a glance
- The 19 sockets cover both metric and SAE sizes in a 1/4-inch-drive, six-point set.

- Size markings are described as permanently laser-etched for visibility, including in low light.
- The listing claims impact-grade, heat-treated chrome-vanadium steel and a corrosion-resistant mirror finish.

What to know before buying
- The listing claims the tools meet or exceed ANSI performance standards and includes a one-year quality guarantee. Check the seller's terms for the guarantee details. The stated 360° movement describes head articulation, not guaranteed access to every fastener.

A good fit for
- DIY and automotive users who need common SAE and metric sockets for angled access in confined spaces.
- Buyers looking for a compact-drive socket set with etched size markings.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a larger drive size or socket sizes outside the listed metric and SAE ranges.
- Users who require established pin-retention durability based on the supplied customer feedback.

Customer feedback describes the set's quality, functionality and value positively, with one customer saying it had helped on several occasions. However, feedback also raises a specific pin-retention concern, with reports of pins falling out. For buyers using the articulated heads in tight automotive spaces, that concern is more practically relevant than the listing's material claim alone. The overall ratings lean favourable, but ratings do not establish how durable the pins are.
Positive themes
- Customer feedback describes the set as good quality and good value.
- Feedback on functionality is positive.
Negative themes
- Customer feedback reports that pins can fall out, raising a concern about pin durability.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes are included?
The listing specifies 12 metric sizes from 5mm to 15mm and seven SAE sizes from 3/16" to 9/16". The individual sizes are shown in the specifications table.
Can the socket heads swivel?
Yes. The listing describes universal heads with 360° freedom to angle and rotate, intended to help reach fasteners in tight spaces.
What should I know about durability?
The listing claims impact-grade, heat-treated chrome-vanadium steel. Separately, customer feedback reports pins falling out, so pin retention is a relevant trade-off to consider.
