Just saw a video where a guy compared weighted impact sockets to regular impact sockets. Honestly, I hadn't heard of weighted sockets before that. The one they tried out in the video was an Ingersoll Rand Power Socket. Looked like a regular socket with a flywheel on it. The guy in the video was using some sort of torque measuring device. Looked like 2 small hydraulic cylinders sandwiched between some steel plates with a bolt drawing them together. The "Power Socket" produced around 25% more peak torque with an air impact wrench. Honestly, I thought it was a gimmick, till I saw the results. Frankly, I'm still sort of skeptical. I might have to sacrifice a couple impact sockets to see for myself. For the one "Power Socket" they used in the video, dude said he paid about $100. I just can't see spending that much on a 1/2" drive socket.
