GEARWRENCH 1/2 in. Drive 6-Point Metric Ratchet and Socket Set (18-Piece)

The ratchet cycles smoothly and the 84 tooth drive allows for a short swing angle for limited access work areas. The drive catches and turns without any wiggling. The sockets have a polished finish and the etched sizes are easy to read. The 15 inch extension bar is a nice feature of this set. Do not open the blow mold case upside down. The case does not have retainer clips on any of the socket or drive slots and they will fall out if the case is opened upside down or on edge.

Gorgeous set of 1/2-inch drive short 6-point sockets. Comes with a 10-inch handle (center of drive to end) with an 84-tooth drive gear. Also includes both 5-inch and 15-inch extensions. The set includes sockets in sizes 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 mm.These are the new style of 6-point sockets that “grip” the flats of the bolt and not the corners – supposed to held reduce rounding of fasteners.The sockets have the size engraved on 2 sides to make identification quicker, and a ridge all around the base to identify them as metric and standard size. The larger sockets have the size marked in a large font, and sadly, the smaller ones (10mm to 16mm) have it marked in a smaller font that an old goat like me found a little hard to readThe set comes in a plastic blow-molded carry case. The lid can be removed to use the tray inside your tool box, which is what I prefer. The tray (without the lid) is 16 inches wide by 8-1/2 inches deep.One of my favorite features is the direction lever that is labeled with “on” and “off” so you can tell by looking at it which way the tool is set to work.

Excellent. Since I have gotten over the hill, I am going to enjoy the rest of my life using higher quality tools. These Gearwrenches make working more fun. Nothing brings frustration than a sloppy tool. Cheaper tools can get the job done but there is something to be said when a tool is efficient and becomes an extension of your arm.I like the click as the teeth engage, it feels secure. The chrome is thicker than the average tool and doesn’t chip even when impacted by metal. These wrenches feel heavier but even more ergonomic. There is no play when the socket is placed on the bolt. Well built, a must-have the perfectionist.

This 1/2 in. drive metric socket set is a great addition to the home workshop! Always was looking for a great all-in-one socket set, and this one seemed to fit the bill. So far, I am really quite happy with it, and it seems like the quality is really top-notch as well. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend looking for a great socket set addition!

Many things I own now, such as tractors and equipment use metric bolts and nuts. Having a quality sockets set is a must. This set has all the metric sizes commonly used. The sockets are well made, not cheap thin walled. The ratchet is tough and strong and the reverse/forward toggle works well. These are a nice addition to a mechanic toolbox or anyone who has equipment to service. Would like it better if there was a button for taking sockets on and off.

The Gear Wrench 1/2 inch drive metric socket set 18-piece comes in a durable case with sizes from 10 MM to 24 MM, two extensions 5″ and 15″ and a heavy 84 tooth ratchet with a comfortable handle. These extensions are much thicker & heavier than any others I have had before and feel like they and the rest of the set will last a long time. I would just like to see a handle on the case to make carrying this set easier.

The Gear wrench 18-piece 1/2 inch drive metric socket set is a wonderful addition to my tool box. Well, made, sturdy and polished with no rough edges. The extensions are knurled for added security. The sockets are also knurled up to the depth of the sockets. Besides well made 6 point sockets the ratchet itself has a fine tooth action with a very nice handle for comfort in holding and using it.

1/2 in. Drive Metric Socket Set (18-Piece) – Before the first time you use this set, you will appreciate the quality. The ratchet is a beefy one that is long enough to get leverage on most bolts or nuts. With its 84 teeth the ratchet turns very smoothly and keeps working even in the tightest spots. The sockets are all 6 point with the size clearly stamped into each one. The metric sockets have a knurled band to distinguish them for SAE. The set comes with 5″ and 15″ extensions and is packed in a very nice case.

The quality and price is more than good enough to make you buy another set in the future if you have to.
