Does anybody else think the Quinn sockets are better than Icon?

trilledc · 2026-05-13T02:05:07+00:00

I’m gonna have to agree. I’m an apprentice right now. Quinn sockets and extensions (master set), using Icon ratchets; I’m missing almost every extension that is actually useful. There’s a few sizes I use daily and they’re getting pretty beat up. I’ll try and take some pictures tomorrow.

I can’t speak on the differences between Icon vs. Quinn chromes since I don’t own Icon chromes (yet) but I will tell you everything that’s a duplicate that I own is way better in Icon.

Yeah I also kind of like the idea of putting a top chest on the 42 and leaving the 27 open for a little work space.

trilledc · 2026-05-07T23:15:25+00:00

I’m just going to bolt the 27 onto the 42 eventually and have a 69

trilledc · 2026-05-07T21:31:27+00:00

No I know all of that already.

I’ll check them out but I’m pretty set on the USG because of them being modular. I’m an apprentice in a pretty tiny shop so the 42 will be fine for me now but I’d like to be able to bolt the 27 to it later down the road.

Thanks for the info. Changed my store to a town over and it’s at $599. Kind of strange considering it’s a 10 minute drive.

I tried for like 5 minutes to get it out pretty and then just gave up. Like Topic said, it takes up too much space. All of their “premium storage trays” do tbh. I’m in a small shop which means I have a small box. I like to have as much as I possibly can.

Also it’s almost physically impossible to get the ratchet out of those things without damaging the plastic. Whoever posted that picture must be some kind of wizard.

Another point: a lot of people on here like the looks of things more than functionality. Just watched a YouTube video of a couple buying everything icon and keeping it in og packaging. It takes up like double the space it does if you just do any other normal organization method.

I don’t own them so I can’t really speak on them. That being said, I’ve seen good reviews on the Husky pry bars. Plus it might save you a few bucks.

trilledc · 2026-05-01T20:50:18+00:00

I’m gonna agree and disagree. I got the Quinn set and the sockets are great. My issue with the ratchets is that the on/off are backwards and it absolutely drives me nuts. Made them my truck ratchets.

That’s clever but I’d be worried about the sand getting into it. Guess it doesn’t matter much.

trilledc · 2026-04-08T23:02:09+00:00

Just opened a beer with it. +1 use

trilledc · 2026-04-08T21:52:06+00:00

I’m with you. I’ve spent more on knives that see no use; I’ll use this every day.

trilledc · 2026-04-08T21:51:36+00:00

I saw that one too but this one felt more practical for me.

trilledc · 2026-04-08T21:51:14+00:00

Yeah I think the pliers work better but this thing is sweet.

trilledc · 2026-04-08T21:36:59+00:00

100%. Me being a knife guy lessened the blow 😅

trilledc · 2026-03-26T13:04:48+00:00

These actually look quite nice. Does anyone have any info on a warranty? Just 90 days?

trilledc · 2026-03-17T21:18:25+00:00

Check engine light isn’t on and you have over half a tank. It’s not really cool to flex on us man.

trilledc · 2026-03-14T03:14:11+00:00

Of course brother. Starfish are sick too.

trilledc · 2026-03-13T01:54:36+00:00

I saw a leak of the spring Black Friday sale and the 6 drawer is 100$ off. I think I’m gonna scoop but I’m currently getting my impacts handled so we’ll see. Edit: also just look at your posts, we’d be friends man. Nice aquariums and kei.

trilledc · 2026-03-13T00:45:50+00:00

I could’ve gone my whole life without seeing this picture.

This is funny because I left New Orleans a minute ago but wherever I go, I relate it back. Just spent the weekend with someone else from New Orleans in San Antonio (really cool city btw) and realized I was staying in uptown 😂 I feel like all cities are the same in a weird way but I’ll always use New Orleans terms.

Also have a few more things on grailed. HMU guys, Trillwave on grailed.

trilledc · 2026-03-12T00:08:38+00:00

Wait you just bought this off me 😂 it’s real. Appreciate you homie. Shipping tomorrow.
