The design of this socket set is evidently well thought out and meticulously thorough. The carrying case is made of plastic so sturdy I'd wager you could run it over and it would be fine. Every socket necessary for automotive repair and maintenance is included, save a few edge cases. Each wrench included is not only aesthetically pleasing but also comfortable to use.The case is very heavy at 37 pounds. However, a portable socket set is highly useful even for the automotive repair amateur. When the case snaps shut, the metal clasps feel secure and the halves connect into a seamless whole. A socket set that can fit into any trunk is invaluable if you find yourself making an emergency roadside repair, either on your own vehicle or someone else's.The contents of this set are extremely robust. There are three wrenches with 1/4 in., 1/2 in., and 3/8 in. drives, allowing for greater application of torque as the situation merits. The 1/4 in. wrench is useful if one needs to get into a tight spot, remove or install a small nut, or simply because it is easier to handle as compared to the larger sizes. Each wrench operates smoothly, ratcheting fluidly during use. There are small divots designed to assist with grip, which can be extremely useful if any fluids have spilled onto the wrench's surface.Also included are sturdy sockets ranging from 5 to 24 mm, as well as imperial sockets that go from 7/16 to 1/2 in. There are also deep sockets in the same sizes, as well as different sets for each drive. There are three sizes of extension for each drive, as well as drive size adapters. Each piece includes a clearly defined ridged area that helps with grip near its base, along with its size stamped on the surface as applicable.One mild flaw with this socket set is the inclusion of hex or "allen" wrenches in standard sizes. These are likely included merely to pad the piece count, as sets of hex wrenches are overabundant among tradesmen. These hex wrenches do not even have ball ends, but they serve as a spare if you find yourself without any hex wrenches for some improbable reason.Sockets for special use cases can be had in other sets, or individually. While this set would have been more complete with a greater variety of sockets, there are already sockets that will not be used often, if at all, in the set. Dewalt likely researched the most common socket sizes and managed to fit a huge selection into this kit, which will serve most use cases adequately. A set for the average person means sacrificing specific for general, expensive for cost effective, and variety for quality.if you're a mechanic or just want to tinkerwith your car or other socket-needing hobbies i1000% recommend the Dewalt mechanic's toolset. I have this same one but older and it hasnever failed me. i've never needed a size that this kit didn't have, never broke any of the pieces or ratchets, and i love the organization of the case it comes in.my old one is missing a few pieces and sat outin the rain a few times. despite the rain and rusteverything in my old one still works perfectlyGreat quality for price. Have 2 sets, split the case to put it into a tool box.This is a huge socket set, heavy and very thorough. I have this and a small set, and I believe this is all I will ever need in socket sets.Decent set for the money. I recommendGot this two days ago and have used it for two big jobs already. I was impressed by the toughness of the smaller sockets and the variety of sockets which is why I purchased in the first place. Can't go wrong with this one. Just make sure you're not paying for shipping cause this thing is heavy. Only con for me would be the Allen wrenches because I literally own 200 Allen wrenches already not including the ones in this tool box. Still, Worth every penny , I can't complain .More durable than some of the home improvement store brands. Great value for the money.That’s all you need to knowThe full monty !I'm not a mechanic by any means... but this is a great piece of kit to have when neededLooks like it has everything you need, and no stupid drill sockets or other small useless items etc that increase the piece count in the set.Full set no skips. Heavy as a rock but blow mould case seems more durable than master craft or Stanley. Metal laches instead of plastic snaps. A bit overkill as you most likely don’t need all these sizes and overlaps. But if you are into being prepared and like full sets this is a good one. No wrenches and screwdriver bit extra junk. Handle shape is a bit different but the 1 inch socket makes a nice tight fit over the 1/2 inch drive rachet Handel. Add a long extension and you have a built in snipe. Don’t tell Dewalt this or no warranty for you lol. My favourite feature.Looked at the other four top store brands with lifetime warranty and compared them to the Dewalt. I found the Dewalt was a step up in quality and finish and not much more in price. This set has no filler other than allen keys. All the sockets are six point sockets. This is a very HEAVY set, at least twice as heavy as the other brands. Dewalt also has lifetime warranty but I doubt I'll be breaking any of these tools.
