If your wanting to save money I'd get the 11 piece SAE and 11 piece metric deep wells they are $15.99 a set. (of course check for them on sale and get the 20% off coupon). It doesn't sound like you have a 3/8" impact. Deep wells are necessary for removing nuts when the stud or bolt protrudes.
Also for the torx bolts you might want to pick up one of these

Use your torx bits with it.

 

I never use impact wrenches driving TORX sockets but I do use an air ratchet at times. Using an air impact only leads to stripped bolt heads; and quickly too.

Get a “hand impact wrench” – the type you hit with a hammer - for stubborn TORX bolts.

 

Impact on a torx? not on my watch.

 

Impact wrench = impact sockets. You won't know there's a problem with the chrome socket until it's too late. I've seen some pretty painful injuries from chrome sockets on an impact.

Edit: If you want to save money, buy one socket at a time.

 

The only reason you use impact sockets is to prevent damge to the air hammer,not the other way around.

 

wrong wrong wrong


I sometimes use a chrome socket on an impact when tight space doesn't allow for an impact socket,HOWEVER chrome sockets can and do break under impact use and safety glasses and gloves are a good idea .

there are no stupid questions,no wrong opinions.but boy are there some bad answers.

 

My family has a farm that i grew up on and still work on. i have had many tools fail and yes they willl hurt you. DONT BUY CHEAP TOOLS. use the correct too for the job. If you dont they will fail and they will hurt you.

Impact sockets are named that for a reason....

I wouldn't use allen or torx in one. strip heads to easy. used to use driver impact with them.

 

I don't know where you got your information but you are 100% wrong.
Impact sockets are a different hardness, and have a heavier wall thickness than chrome sockets.
If you use a chrome socket on an impact wrench, it may or may not fail on initial use, but over time, it will fail...usually the drive of the impact will deform the driven end of the socket and it will split at the squared corners of the socket.
The chrome sockets are also prone to splitting due to the hammering and higher applied torque and can throw shrapnal out from the failed socket into eyes and hands.
The chrome will also flake off from the hammering and can cause like damage.
They actually put those warnings on the tools for a reason, and if you spend enough time useing them, you will see this 1st hand.
