Yes but the product link in PF's comments link to the 3 pack which contain the 1/2 (DW2547IR), 3/8 (DW2542IR), and 1/4 (DW2541IR) inch sizes. Should be similar in performance since the design and alloy is the same. He just tested 1/2 inch for consistency between all the products.

OK man. There are clearly product numbers listed in the 3-pack. Use the info to make a good buying decision. Trying to be helpful and not trying to get into a pissing match with you about nitpicking every detail. Spend the $2.58 how you want.

That video is years old and the links have most likely changed. I would also be hesitant to say that 3/8 will perform as well as 1/2 unless it's actually tested. Still a good deal for the price. Also that three piece set link is sketch. You can see plenty of people in the reviews getting loose adapters in a white baggie.

if you know anything about chinese manufacturing, you would notice that products are made by contractors, using different materials and different processes, for the very same item. There is no Dewalt factory in china. that being said, reviews from a year ago might be not accurate.

"The product is manufactured in China"

acmetools states pretty much the same for this model:

"Country of Origin China"

That is a different product. Not impact-rated as far as I can tell.

Get a large standing tool chest and dedicate a drawer to adapters, extensions, spark plug sockets and 10mm's.

The description on Amazon states this is made in China.

I think he's saying that there is no dedicated factory in China (or wherever) making these types of things for DeWalt exclusively (a factory owned by the DeWalt company). That means that you might buy this item one month, and it's from some random Chinese factory at a certain quality, then the next month DeWalt has a contract with some different factory 500+ miles away, made with slightly different materials, slightly different manufacturing process, and not the same level of quality, etc.
