Thumbs up Hex socket set - recommendations pls

I'm after some hex sockets, like an impact socket set

I was changing out some suspension parts and the 17mm nuts were so tight the multi head ring spanners and sockets were slipping... ended up borrowing an impact socket

There's sooo many out there it's difficult to know the quality. Machine Mart have the Clarke ones, and there's a couple on Amazon, cost about £12 for half a dozen. I like the idea of the sockets being shallow too as they will be used with a breaker bar only

Then there's the King Dicks - £30 each socket

As long as they don't fail, that's all I'm after of course

Thanks

There's these toolzone ones. Not heard of the make...

Or Silverline. Little more expensive, but reliable make...?
